wickedrentq - I've never cared for "Got A Feelin," "Look Through My Window," "Twist and Shout," and the entire People Like Us album. That last album should have never happened.

*Hooked on a Feeling (the version that has the "ooga chugga" stuff at the beginning)

*Love Me Do & Let it Be--Beatles

*Vincent (Starry Starry Night)--Don McLean

*anything in the Simon & Garfunkel catalog

*My Cherie Amour

*Dream a Little Dream of Me--Mama Cass

*Stuck on You--Lionel Richie--probably my all-time fav (is this an "oldie"?)

*any of Jim Croce's ballads (Have to Say I Love You..., Time in a Bottle, New York's Not My Home)

....too many to name...I was reared on this music.

Great songs listed in this thread.
Quick, I'm at the iTunes store and I can't think of the name of the Beatles song that sounds as if the accompaniment has sitars in it.
