Top 10 Best The Mamas & The Papas Songs

The best songs by the 1960s group The Mamas & The Papas.
The Top Ten
California Dreamin'

This is such a beautiful song. It's so relaxing to listen to.
I was just about to look for this list.

This song is a classic. It's number one for me. This is from the era of "make love, not war."

Who doesn't love this song? Very iconic, and catchy too.

Monday, Monday

One of their first #1's! The only reason this is at #5 is because it isn't really a song to dance to. The only upbeat part is "Every other day, every other day, every other day of the week is fine yeah yeah."

Reminds me of The Other Guys.

This is such an awesome song. It's so sixties. I love the a cappella background vocals and the lyrics. Ba dah ba the the the ba the ba the - it's stuck in my head.

Dedicated to the One I Love

Another one of their hits. At first, I didn't like this song, but after I listened to it a little more, I fell in love with it.

I Saw Her Again

This is the best song in their collection.

This is their best song.

Dream a Little Dream of Me

I'm learning how to play this on the harmonica. This version by The Mamas & The Papas is the best (in my humble opinion).

Love that song! They were great.

Look Through My Window
Creeque Alley

I would rank this number 4 all-time best.

Go Where You Wanna Go
Got a Feelin'

Such a beautiful song. This is my favorite song by them.

Spanish Harlem

The Newcomers

? Trip, Stumble & Fall
? Andy's Talkin' Blues
The Contenders
Mansions
Twelve Thirty

There are a couple of different mixes of this song, but the best one is on the original mono 45 rpm.

This should be right up near the top, maybe at #3 behind California Dreamin' and Monday, Monday.

This song actually feels like it has a disco vibe to it. And I like me some disco.

Words of Love
Dancing in the Street
You Baby

A cover of The Turtles' song. I love it! The way it sounds and everything is just awesome.

My Girl

Background vocals are awesome. Harmonies are great. Slightly better than California Dreamin'.

My Heart Stood Still
Safe In My Garden

Back in '68, before I was about to be shipped somewhere by Uncle Sam, I listened to this gem and said I would find a garden where I would be safe. And I was. So many great songs by them - this, to me, is the best.

Glad to Be Unhappy
For the Love of Ivy
Straight Shooter

Almost sounds familiar. From their first album If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears. The harmony is definitely present in this song, too.

Rooms
Even If I Could
Make Your Own Kind of Music

My favorite, along with California Dreamin'. It's not a very well-known song, but when you hear it, how can you not love it? It was also featured in my favorite show Lost.
