Top 5 Of Anything (Musically)

Who said it wasnt? Maybe its a harp. Maybe hell, its even a dress. I hear a lot of strings are in those. Or maybe, but just maybe it is noose. Those guys are made of many many strings.
 
Personal Choice:

2) The Rationals - Respect
3) Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels - Devil With the Blue Dress On
4) ? and the Mysterians - 96 Tears

2) Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels - Sock It To Me, Baby

Well the thing is, for every person that can't do it, there is someone that can.
I could record a random beat, with some cool synthesized stuff behind it, give it to someone who knows there way around music editing, they'll make it into a beat. They'll get some kid on YouTube, have him sing about girls and love, some cheesy dance moves, and you've got a hit.
