    #1 The Kinks - You Really Got Me
    Like both of these but You Really Got Me just has a bit more bite to it.

    #2 Rolling Stones - Paint It Black
    Absolute classic and just really damn cool.

    #3 Jefferson Airplane - Somebody To Love
    Very very tough but sticking by my nomination, won't mind at all however if Nina Simone takes this.

    #4 Elvis - Suspicious Minds
    Again both great tunes....but this is the one I'd listen to more often.

    EDIT: Even though "Somebody To Love" was one of my nominations, I literally only just learned I had one of the lyrics completely wrong! The correct line is "Your eyes may look like his", which makes a lot of sense - I always thought it was "Your eyes, they look like ears" and just assumed it was drug-induced nonsense! :pac:

    She was my last hope.

    Dionne Warwick - walk on by
    Dusty Springfield - son of a preacher man
    Aretha Franklin - I never loved a man
    Janis Joplin - piece of my heart
    Etta James- I’d rather go blind
    Nina Simone - feeling good
    Marianne Faithful - as tears go by
    The Mamas & The Papas - creeque alley
    The Shirelles- will you still love me tomorrow

    I loved Somebody to Love when In Tua Nua released it in the 80s. It was only years later that I discovered it was a cover. That said, Leslie Dowdall > Grace Slick.

    At not so fun fact-

    Cass Elliott (Mana Cass) from The Mamas & The Papas died aged 32 in a flat in Mayfair, London.

    Four years later Keith Moon from The Who died in the exact same room in the same flat. He was also 32.
