    From Zeke's Lips To God's Ear

    Tapestry should have been woven into this list.

    It's hard to imagine a list of this nature without including a song from Carol King's Tapestry which, for years, was the biggest selling album of all time and which elevated the female singer/songwriter to new heights. I'd pick "I Feel the Earth Move" as the best one for this narrow list.

    -- Dabney

    How could they overlook "You Really Got Me" The kinks launched the Second British Invasion. Damn you Sanjaya, you've ruined that song for me.

    Also Dabney is right. Everyone my age lost their virginity while listening to TAPESTRY. Thanks for the memory.
