By singles I mean 7 inches of plastic with a hole in the middle.
1) Hey Jude - The Beatles
2) House of the Rising Sun - The Animals
3) Baby Please Don't Go - Them
4) Peggy Sue - Buddy Holly and the Crickets
5) See My Friend - The Kinks
6) Happenings Ten Years Time Ago - The Yardbirds
7) King Midas in Reverse - The Hollies
8) Proud Mary - Creedence Clearwater Revival
9) White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane
10) That amazingly long thing, 8 - 10 minutes on both sides, by that heavy American band

An amazingly long (in minutes) single with a surrealistic jam at the end; got away from the 2.5 minute ditty
House of the Rising Sun:
Brought blues to mainstream charts
Baby Please Don't Go:
Ditto
Peggy Sue:
Listen to See My Way by The Who
See My Friend:
Indian mystsicism comes to the UK
Happenings Ten Years Time Ago:
Psychodelia with a touch of heavy metal hits the UK public
King Midas In Reverse:
Not a major hit but led to Graham Nash help form C, S and N and much that followed (e.g. see Wooden Ships)
Proud Mary:
CCR considered 'Pop' and commercial by the so-called intelligasia hippy but, in fact, were way ahead of Grateful Dead et al.
Grand Funk Railroad:
Who had ever heard of a 10-minute single?
