At summer's end radio stations compile the 1000 best songs of all time.
HEY JUDE was dethroned by STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN. SATISFACTION by the Rolling Stones had a brief moment in the sun, however my choice for best song was always "Darkness, Darkness". Jesse Colin Young wrote it in 1969 and performed the song with the Youngbloods. The words reputedly were very popular with grunts in Viet-Nam for describing the fears of the jungle. DARKNESS DARKNESS remains as powerful today as then, whereas HEY JUDE is a joke.
Sorry Beatles fans, but how many times can Paul McCartney repeat two words and you think that it's cool?
Like a million times.
The Youngbloods scored #438 for GET TOGETHER in the KZOK Top 1000.
DARKNESS DARKNESS was nowhere.
