60's Top Tunes

[Pancho]

Just had a link pop up on Facebook telling me it's 50 years since The Small Faces entered the charts with Itchycoo Park.

It made me think first bloody hell where did the time go, but then how lucky some of us were to grow up in that musical era.

So fill yer boots lads and lasses...

Leaning on the Lamppost by Hermans Hermits tops any other 60s tune.

Loved Stevie M especially on Lazy Sunday and Tin Soldier (not the poster).

Only if you've suffered a catastrophic brain injury.

Absolutely. Itchycoo Park is not my favourite SF tune by any stretch but it was topical.

Reported!

Funny How Love Can Be by The Ivy League always reminds me of my childhood.

Something in the Air by Thunderclap Newman is probably mine.

Wouldn't you (and Herman) rather be into something good?

Bit longer than 50yrs ago but the tune of the 60s will always be Shakin' All Over, for me. Recorded in 1960 it just set the template for feel, sound and general vibe. That decade started as it meant to go one and I wish I'd been born ten years before I was.

 

[FalkirkMackem]

These are two of my favourites.

But really, there are too many to choose from - class decade for music

Cracking shout.

Pure 60's.

Loved this then, and still do. The following year, i think, was Mama told me not to come. Three dog night. Loved that too.

Pure 60's.

I remember it being the power play on Radio Luxembourg.

I think I'd moved on from RL by then.

Isn't it the 50th anniversary of BBC Radio 1 soon?

Pete Townshend played bass on this song.

I didn't know that. I've just looked on wiki and that's an interesting back story.

Watched a Who documentary on Sky Arts recently. Townsend was/is a seriously talented bloke but came across as a bit of an all round twat.

30th September

I remember it like it was yesterday.

Came at the end of an eye-openingly interesting summer for me.

Part of my soundtrack:

This wasn't to shabby for the time either.
