SOng 4: "Shapes Of Things" by the Yardbirds. A bit of a FF, but still VHM.

Tune 3: "7 and 7 is" by Love

A nugget if ever there was one. Hoping we get a few more of this genre.  BOS3.

VHM for the Yardbirds. Not that it's not great, just more frequently heard.
Let's get right to it.

Song 5: "God Only Knows"... sorry, this is a bit of a comedown compared to the previous four.

most egregious LN: Donovan.  The man has so many wonderful songs but I never need hear this or "Mellow Yellow" ever again.

RR will never play "Legend Of A Cowgirl" in a 1997 set.

HM Donovan, unnecessary as it is.

Not trying to diminish the value of these songs in their time, but since the Yardbirds song we've been heading into Oldies 103.7-land.  BOS the first 3, and downhill from there.

And song 7 is the Supremes' "You Can't Hurry Love", further underscoring your point.

Listen to the rockin' harpsichord, just to get something different out of this tune.

What's this weird version of "Can't Hurry Love"? There's some strange organ sound in there...

indeed -- it's in my all-time Motown Top Ten, which is why i really didn't need to hear it today.
