Hard to pick a favorite Beatles or Beach Boys song, but probably, "Here Comes the Sun" and "God Only Knows."

I don't have favorites of other bands or artists from the original post. 

I liked Simon & Garfunkel, Barry Manilow, John Denver, Carly Simon, the Carpenters, and some Motown artists. Glad to see more musicians from the past are getting "love" and respect as talented songwriters, arrangers, singers, etc.

I also liked the Monkees; their songs were fun. 

I don't really follow any contemporary musicians. I've listened to some songs, but I prefer my old favorites.
