Let's leave out stuff by the big bands like The Beatles, Stones or The Who, etc. The classic rockers are in a separate class here.
I'm talking acts that put out a few singles or one-hits of the era.
Maybe you heard your parents singing or playing them around the house (like me), or you saw a movie & liked the music...no matter.
What I like about that whole period is the innocence. So many genuinely sweet & naive (in the good way) songs that still strike a chord today somehow. Back when holding hands was worth writing a hit over. Though the world wasn't *perfect* back then, many of the songs still sounded so ...happy :)
Remember now- nothing into the 70s or later...
Some O' mine. Wonder if any of these are on Youtube:
"5 O' Clock World"- The Vogues
"Green Onions"- Booker T & The MGs
"Runaway"- Del Shannon (one of the 1st pop songs to use an early synthesizer. Great little tune!)
"The Rain, The Park, * Other Things"- The Cowsills
-a bunch of Monkees songs
con't...
