The 60's are the best Music ever. I'm 65 Years old and play many years in a Oldie Band this and other Songs from this great Time.

Very different from the music of today, I grew up with music from the 60's and early 70's and loved it!

Beam me back to the 60s Those were the days my friend <3

[rosswatson]

Back then, there was always a new song which seemed inspirational and totally new, and with a beaten lyrics that had never been heard before… Followed a few days later by another than another then another… They all filled the air like the first day of spring.

I think it's great how many of these songs have aged so well.

In 1966 I listened to these songs on Armed Forces Radio. I was stationed in Nha Trang Vietnam and I had a transistor radio.
Thank God I wasn't in a fighting unit.

[donnanash]

I would have thought wild thing would have been higher on the list too. Wow how I remember buying these 45s!!

Haven't known those years. Born in 1963 but something special get in me every times I hear these songs.

[Firefyta]

[mb]

A lot of good memories have returned listening to this compilation !

[bopechanga]

wow the 60s had the greatest music. so glad these where my teenage years. live in LA was the greatest ever

[RobertHoward-dg]

I'm 75 now, and could probably still remember the lyrics of most of those listed - although I'm convinced that these were listed for an American audience. As a Brit, I'm disappointed not to see any Small Faces, The Who, Spencer Davis Band, The Hollies (probably one of their best years), Ike & Tina Turner, The Kinks, and many many more.

1966 was a "coming of age" year for me. Brings back so many fun memories. . Thanks.
