Most Beautiful Songs of the 60s

This isn't a list of best songs of 1960s, but a list that shows some beautiful songs of 1960s.

Any kind of music can be included; Rock, Pop, Metal, Folk, Country, anything. Just as long it makes you listen. I mean these songs are nice.
The Top Ten
1 A Change is Gonna Come - Sam Cooke
2 Anthem - Deep Purple

Especially the chorus and the acoustic guitar riff and the backing vocals

3 Turn! Turn! Turn! - The Byrds

And you can thank the Bible for the lyrics.

4 Can't Help Falling in Love - Elvis Presley
5 The Sound of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel
6 Suzanne - Leonard Cohen

I added this one by mistake on 70's list, could you please not validate it? Too late... I reported it, and it was finally removed.

7 God Only Knows - The Beach Boys
8 The Crystal Ship - The Doors
9 Don't Think Twice, It's All Right - Bob Dylan
10 Mr. Tambourine Man - The Byrds

They left out a number of verses in order to get radio airtime, making it a hit and earning Dylan millions of dollars.

The Contenders
11 Waterloo Sunset - The Kinks

Especially the riffs

12 The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down - The Band
13 The Wind Cries Mary - Jimi Hendrix
14 Be My Baby - The Ronettes
15 California Girls - Beach Boys
16 White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane
17 I Got You Babe - Sonny and Cher
18 Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) - Nancy Sinatra

It was written by Sonny Bono for his then-wife Cher, but I prefer this version and it reminds me Kill Bill.

19 Hey Jude - Beatles

I think the whole song is beautiful. On the live performance when the crowd starts joining in on the nah nah nah's is absolutely beautiful.

20 California Dreamin' - The Mamas and the Papas
21 The Girl from Ipanema - Stan Getz

It's a classic of Brazilian bossa nova jazz, written in 1962 by Antonio Carlos Jobim with Portuguese lyrics by Vinicius de Moraes. This 1964 version by Stan Getz featuring Astrud Gilberto and Joao Gilberto, with english lyrics, is still the most known.
It is believed to be the second most recorded pop song in history, after "Yesterday" by The Beatles.

22 In My Life - The Beatles
23 Here Without You - The Byrds
24 Son of a Preacher Man - Dusty Springfield
25 Suspicious Minds - Elvis Presley
