Poptimists will defend this.

It is what it is

Hey Jude and Mrs. Robinson are great

The rest of the chart isn't as good, although it's hard to disagree that the late 60s were the best time for pop music

>implying Happy isn't a good song albeit overplayed

who gives a shit

>>59645775
Happy is easily the most soulless and depressing song i've ever heard

>>59645732
Neither looks particularly appealing.

ok

hey jude is a shit song lad lmao

I suppose the only difference is that in 1968, several instrumentals got to No. 1

My top 5 per each year would be:

1968
>I Wish it Would Rain
>Harper Valley PTA
>Mrs. Robinson
>Hey Jude
>The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

2014
Okay, I can't really pick any because I've probably heard them all but just don't know their titles...the only reason I hate most of them is because I heard them so much on the radio, I'd probably hate all the 1968 songs too if I heard them on the radio

>The Billboard Hot 100, April 4, 1964
>Position, Title
>No. 1, "Can't Buy Me Love"
>No. 2, "Twist and Shout"
>No. 3, "She Loves You"
>No. 4, "I Want to Hold Your Hand"
>No. 5, "Please Please Me"

How mad was Brian Wilson that week?
