So many good ones mentioned.
Someone else mentioned Gimme Shelter which is easily my number 1. Also...Dancin the Night Away by The Motors.

If we’re having Town Called Malice then we have to have the inspiration-
You Can’t Hurry Love- The Supremes

Church Not Made With Hands by The Waterboys
It's brilliant - the strumming acoustic guitar, the drum roll, the horns
The outro's great too - when the electric guitar kicks in!
And in between - a great song!
I' know that the members of this forum appreciate music so check this song out

The first true stereo I ever heard was the 10, 9, 8……intro to Space Oddity. With the even numbers from one speaker and the odd numbers from the other.
So I’ll add that.
