If you're a 1969-er and don't include "Sugar Sugar," you might have to fight me. ;)

I honestly considered it, but I now (still) associate the song with the ad jingle they created for Equal artificial sweetener back in the 80s or 90s. Kinda ruined the song for me.

Gawd, I forgot about that ad spot, somehow. ... Funny how advertising use can take sheen off a song, even when the song itself is pure syrup-pop in the first place. :) (Albeit Perfect Syrup Pop)

I never should have looked up the #1 song. Now I have scenes from "So I Married an Axe Murderer" rolling through my head.

"Look at the size of that boy's head. It's like an Orange on a toothpick"
"He'll be crying himself to sleep tonight on his huge pillow."

Oh wow. Some of my favorite albums! Man, great music was pretty diverse in '75.

Was born before rock n roll so nothing I could list that anyone has ever heard of.

Names, maybe, but not the songs. Nat King Cole, Tony Bennett*, Perry Como, Patti Page, Tony Martin etc.

* That Tony Bennet is still around singing and toured with Lady Gaga in 2014 is pretty amazing.

I don't know how I could pick between all of the quality from 1967 and have probably failed miserably but here we go...

The Doors - The Doors
Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced?

Aretha Franklin - RESPECT
Jefferson Airplane - Somebody to Love
Engelbert Humperdink - Release Me
The Spencer Davis Group - Gimme Some Lovin
Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - Ain't No Mountain High Enough
Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl
Procol Harum - A Whiter Shade of Pale

Large supply of music being born in '67, no doubt.
