So, on to the 60s.

To me, the 60s were the best decade for music. The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, The Supremes, Petula Clark, Dionne Warwick, Stevie Wonder, and on and on and on --- just a tremendous amount of musical talent, the depth of quality songs and the variety can't be beat by any other decade in my mind. At least 3 songs from the 60s are in my top ten songs of all-time.

I lost my internet access at home for a little while, I'm at a library and I don't know how many I'll be able to post. I've also had to get 2 new credit cards due to fraudulent charges on my old ones --- hard to get new net access quickly without them.

I don't think any of these have been posted, apologies if any have. I'll go opposite of what I normally do, I'll go with the best on top.

Glad to have you back brother, and sorry about the problems you had. You need a hired goon to rough some of these crumb bums up? I got your back.

Mobile now, but still, I've slowed down a lot with the music threads. You're doing a great job though and I appreciate it.

I will be slowing down this month also, but this thread looks to be in good hands.

Outstanding stuff.

Man, there are just so many great songs and artists from this decade (the radio hits and the more under the radar stuff, the "stars" and the lesser known acts) that I wouldn't know how to narrow down my favorite songs.

For the Liberals

Ochs did some fine stuff and deserves a nice little block of songs in this thread.

Another Tremeloes song...the Four Seasons did this song too...but I like the Tremeloes version better.

Silence is Golden.

Thanks tee. I'm trying to figure out which way to go as far as getting new internet access, I'm leaning towards EarthLink, too bad they don't accept PayPal. I'll get there eventually.

There certainly are a lot of great 60s songs and everyone has posted some of my favorites including you of course. Whenever I think about my all-time favorites, "Pretty Ballerina" and "California Dreamin'" always make the cut so that's why I mentioned them. Of course, it's not an exact science and my tastes do change but those 2 stand out to this little boy. At the moment I'd probably put "After All" by Delirium (Jael) and "Lights" by Ellie Goulding in my top 5 too, so it's not like I'm stuck in my youth.

the library closes early on Friday, quick!

[song: Conquistador]

 

[Noexcuse]

We all fancied ourselves as such . . . (ps, If you haven't seen the movie The Wanderers, check it out, highly recommended)

 

[Noexcuse]

Don't remember seeing this one yet

 

[Noexcuse]

or this one (when I was a kid I thought the lyric was "myeye girl . . . . 6 foot fi-yi-yi-ve . . . my oh my")

 

[bevosu]

The Dave Clark Five...they rivaled the Beatles in popularity for about 7 minutes in early 1964.

 

[bevosu]

The late Mary Wells...

 

[Cowtown]

My favorite Phil Ochs song

"I'm only 18, I got a ruptured spleen, and I always carry a purse ... "

[song: Draft Dodger Rag]

 

[Cowtown]

And as long as we're on protest songs ...

[song: I feel like I'm fixin' to die rag]

 

[Cowtown]

The Chad Mitchell Trio did some brilliant political satire, which is why they didn't always get a lot of airtime on the radio ...

[song: The John Birch Society]

 

[Cowtown]

"No, you can't chop your papa up in Massachusetts,
Massachusetts is a far cry from New York ... "

[song: Lizzie Borden]

 

[bevosu]

Studio sound engineers could make average singers sound good. If anyone ever had any doubts about this singer's pipes this should put that thought to rest.

 

[Cheriehoop]

Buffalo Springfield - great group - active only 2 years

 

[Cheriehoop]

Folk singers - Peter, Paul & Mary

 

[Cheriehoop]

I was around 3rd grade and this song was #1 forever. I had gotten a transistor radio and it was with me all through grammar school.

 

[Cheriehoop]

Can't remember if this song was posted already - apologies if it has been
