TOP 100 ROCK & ROLL SINGLES OF ALL TIME: #8
8. "California Dreamin'" / The Mamas and the Papas
John and Michelle Philips capture a longing for sunny California days during a harsh New York winter on this definitive Mamas and the Papas hit. The hauntingly somber harmonies are still startingly beautiful today, even after hearing it a thousand times on film and television as a primary nostalgia-inducing song for the '60s.
