List Monday - Best of the '60's

So, the decade of my birth is not my most favorite musically.  The only worse decade is the bankrupt 90's.  Yet the 1960's were sonically important - less so for the specific songs that came out, but more so for the bands/artists that emerged.  Therefore, I am listing my top 10 important musical acts, their most influential tunes, and my favorites from their repertoire.  Yeah, yeah, yeah - I know I left out Dylan, Hendrix, Jefferson Starship, Hollies, all of Motown....not my cup of tea.  And the Dead, they're in a special category, to be discussed later.....


  1. Beatles -  Day in the life or Hey Jude.......my fav:  Tomorrow Never Knows
  2. Stones - Satisfaction.......Moonlight Mile (and setimental fav Emotional Rescue)
  3. Who - My Generation or Baba .......  Love Reign O'er Me (Emminence Front, close behind)
  4. Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven......Boogie with Stu
  5. Beach Boys - Good Vibrations......In My Room
  6. Doors - Break on Through......Riders on the Storm
  7. Kinks - Lola........Apeman
  8. Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Waters.......Late in the Evening
  9. Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl..........Into the Mystic
  10. Neil Diamond - Solitary Man/I am I said/Holly Holy..........too many to choose from...I'll go with:  Morningside
