10-way tie, I'll bet, but special mention to the phenomenal Marvin-Tammi interplay on "Ain't No Mountain High Enough."  My favorite part: "My love is alive (whoo!) down in my heart!"

"listen, baby": Marvin & Tammi are BOS2.  VHM Ashford & Simpson's fab songwriting.

I like the dolly-bird touting the Cryan' Shames and the Chicago scene.  Swingin'!

"Daydream Believer" may be the happiest song ever recorded.  In spite of the razor blades.

Slave to the charts that I sometimes am, I'd prefer some other Moodies for this year and "Nights in White Satin" in '72.

From the "Daydream" 6:00 alarm to nights and back to good morning - clock's out of whack!

oh, if only Bob'd play Nancy Sinatra after that James Bond spot.

But Smokey'll do.

Sky Saxon's lyrics are even dumber when they come after something as poetic as Smokey's "I Second That Emotion."  Still, great garage energy.
