Each week I feature 10 groovy tunes that reached the Top 10 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart during the last 50+ years. You can vote for your three favorites, and the five with the most votes move on to the following week when five new songs will be added to the list.
Cyndi Lauper knocked Madonna out of the top spot last week with "Time After Time", which received 37 votes out of the 200 cast. And this week she will be challenged by Carole King, Culture Club and Linda Ronstadt.

It would appear that I'm feeling particularly British today (as if that should surprise anyone)... I'm voting for Miss. Clark, The Fab Four, and Culture Club.
ACK!! So many good ones I can't decide.
That's what I like to hear, Mark! :)
