What are some of your favorite songs and/or albums from the 1960's?

This is one.

@hawaii_jake

Thanks Jake.
That’s also one of my favorites. :)

Was George your favorite Beatle or did you have a favorite?

The Beatles Rubber Soul album.
Buffalo Springfield Again
Anything BB King from that time

There are lots, I’ll have to wrack my brain. Damn, that sounds painful!

@Brian1946 : I was too little in the 60s to have a favorite. Having said that, I will tell you that I remember playing my sisters’ Barbra Streisand albums over and over again when I was very little. It seems I was in love with her even before I knew what being gay was. lol.

Song: (Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay -Otis Redding
Album-Velvet Underground’s debut

@Michael_Huntington ; Ooh, yeah, that’s a great one!
And I want to add anything MoTown to my list.

The Greatest Rock and Roll Song Ever!

Beatles and Frank Sinatra. How’s that for a schizophrenic love of music? Sinatra was at his peak—actually, just a bit past it—and the Beatles were turning out, at least in my opinion, some of the best new music around.

Pretty much every Beatles album. lol.

Beatles, Dylan, Motown (especially Marvin Gaye) are givens, so I won’t go there.

The Byrds. Awesome. I love So You Want To Be A Rock ‘n Roll Star, Mr. Tambourine Man, and especially Eight Miles High. Early Pink Floyd, like Bike and Astronomy Domine. Nina Simone at her peak! I missed Monterrey Pop! I missed Mike Nesmith! And on and on and on…

I feel like I missed out on all the great music because I was born shortly before Woodstock. The 60s are history, a different world to me. I was hardly there for it and not conscious of it at all. :(

There are so many… but the one I’ve loved the longest would be “Moving” by Peter Paul and Mary. Particularly for “Puff the Magic Dragon”, which was my lullaby when I was a little girl.

Dylan owned the sixties (wasn’t around… just going on rumor here. And the fact that his music kicks much ass and all his best stuff came out of the early to mid sixties)

Subterranean Homesick Blues…Dylan
The White Album…. The beatles
Dear mr. Fantasy… Traffic
Are You Experiencecd… Jimi Hendrix
Satisfaction… The Rolling Stones
The Doors… The Doors

I’m pretty sure no one can argue that this Janis Joplin performance of Ball and Chain is the greatest musical moment of American history. Yes, it is that good.

I really can’t choose, that is probably my favorite decade in music.

@Ben_Dover

“Dear mr. Fantasy… Traffic”

That is such a b**n f**n album!
I can’t believe that I forgot it. :p

The Velvet Underground

Sukiyaki by Kyu Sakamoto

Actually it’s “Ue o muite aruko”.

@worriedguy I Have that in my iPod! :) Taste of Honey

@Deja_vu Have you heard the 4PM version ?.

The English words are not even close to the meaning of the original, but they do sound nice. (Yes. I speak Japanese.)

@TheOnlyNeffie It might be my favoritie too. Lots of things were going on in my life then. Good memories…

@Deja_vu

Great album!
If you be Nico, I’ll be your mirror. ;-)

During the 60s, I loved the Beatles white.
I love the Grateful Dead. Led. Janis.
Puff the Magic Dragon…especially when I was young…...

@Brian1946 Chelsea Girl is one of my favorite albums!

@Brian1946 Traffic can sneak up on you, like 40,000 headsman

@Ben_Dover

I don’t think that many headmen could sneak up on me, but I’m sure they could change my mind. :-0

“I turned around and knocked them down and walked across the sea…”

@Ben_Dover

Hey, Stevie is the man, man!

Well although way before my time, I like this & also this. Must be a closet hippy :¬) Oh & not forgetting this classic!

And who could forget Jethro Tull? Benefit or Stand Up were albums in the 60’s.

Bob Dylan Bringing it all back Home
