| The other day I was listening to radio and a Dead song came up. It was "Ripple". "If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine"...Now the song just hit me for alot of reasons. One that it brought up many things from that great creative time and era. For me it just seemed to typify everything about the time. I'm just wondering about others recollections. What's your song of song for the era? I'm intending to make sure I have some/most of them!! |

That is from American Beauty, right? That really is a song from an album for all time. SO I have that on vinyl.
Next...
"Like A Rolling Stone" from HWY 61 Revisited....doesn't get much more of a definitive song from the definitive album of the ERA.

Everybody Must Get Stoned.....? Oh yeah.
What about SATISFACTION by the Stones? The definitive guitar riff of the 20th century?!! The definitive song of our generation about the 60's....leading to the "revolution", flower power..

Laugh Laugh, Beau Brummels.
The first US band after the British invasion to capture that wave for me. Though they had been around for a while doing that country rock thing even before Buffalo Springfield.

....and in the same vein, Ohio by CSNY. 1970 was like a coming of age...or loss of innocence for me. Music was no longer just what happened to be on Top of the Pops. |

i discovered retrospectivley in the 70,s.
I,ve never been much of a Beatles fan personaly...but i can remember one of my older siblings having the Strawberry Feilds- Penny Lane single at ours, and i played it over and over.
No- one mentioned the Doors either...or the Byrds. ??? |
