Gosh, I'm too lazy to do this. Let's say 10 out of 20 songs in my list would be by Jacques Brel. And aren't we in need of some Janis? | |

How come no one has yet mentioned "Winchester Cathedral" by The New Vaudeville Band or "They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha Haaa!" by Napoleon XIV? You can't make a best of the 60s list without including those! | |

I guess my list is fairly cliched - lots of Beatles and Dylan, but I'm certainly not going to apologize for that. However, I might express a little regret for putting Leopard-Skin Pillbox Hat on a list when I haven't even included one song by the Beach Boys or the Small Faces.
Anyway, off the top of my head: 1. Like A Rolling Stone 2. It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes a Train To Cry 3. Leopard-Skin Pillbox Hat - all by Dylan 4. And Your Bird Can Sing 5. Strawberry Fields Forever 6. Ticket To Ride 7. Help 8. Run Run Run – Velvet Underground 9. Cyprus Ave – Van Morrison 10. Hot Burrito #1 – Flying Burrito Brothers 11. The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore – Walker Bros 12. Time of the Season – Zombies 13. Don’t Bring Me Down – The Pretty Things 14. Paperback Writer 15. Waterloo Sunset – Kinks 16. Shape of Things – Yardbirds 17. You Set The Scene – Love 18. Fall On You – Moby Grape 19. Jackie – Scott Walker 20. Gimme Shelter - Stones Edit - I forgot Nature's Way by Spirit - take the Moby Grape song off, I guess... [Edited 12/30/04 17:38pm] | |
