BEAs Top 100 Songs Of The 60s

[Wombi]

Alright then welcome to the second of BEAs Best Ever Songs polls - it's just a little late (say 3 or so months) but that's okay.

We had many more ballots this time than for our first one with over 500 songs in contention so I decided to expand it to 100 since this decade is so rich in incredible tunes.

Though tonight I will just be doing 100-51

Many thanks to all who put the time in to make a ballot, it is a time consuming endeavour but like the last list I feel like this is a list we can be proud of...anyway 1 2 3 4:
