   • Nina Simone – Sinnerman (1962) The skittering hi-hats, the deeply haunted piano line, the galloping guitar line; all set the stage for Nina Simone on “Sinnerman,” a song that sees the icon turn in one of her most powerful vocal performances.
   • The Beatles – Come Together (1969) Between the classic drum fill introduction, crunchy guitars, and iconic vocals, it’s hard to top “Come Together.”
   • The Beach Boys – Good Vibrations (1966) Originally thought of as a Jan & Dean-style group obsessed with surfing, cars, and girls, The Beach Boys proved there was much more to their artistry with Pet Sounds and songs like “God Only Knows.”
   • The Rolling Stones – (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction (1965) Picking one Rolling Stones song to represent the band on this 60s list is impossible, but since we’re limiting ourselves to one, “Satisfaction” feels like the best bet due to its story, impact, and cultural legacy.
