#1960s #Music #DoYouRemember

[DYR]

Which 1960s hit song do you feel doesn't get enough airplay? 🤔

[larrybrown]

None of these songs are forgotten. The 60's and 70's are easily the best decades for music.

[knightlyjamz]

Not a single song on this list is forgotten. Not even close. Fire whoever made this list.

[Daniel_Antonio_Arellano]

All these songs are still hits to people my age. Not forgotten at all.

[jeffburnham]

90% of these songs are not forgotten, it's just that they're being discovered by people who weren't around in the 1960's to enjoy them.

[donnebes]

I remember all of them. How could you forget when you lived it.

[freedapeeple]

Nobody from the 60s ever forgot how awesome this music was. We've been missing it for over 50 years!

[markkent]

Every song here brings back so many fantastic memories! It seems as if today's music simply cannot hold a candle to the 60's and 70's.

I was born in 59, but i was the last of our family so i had brothers that taught me the love of music. From Boxcar Willy to Jefferson Airplane/ Starship. Im blessed to grow up in the prime time of the best music ever made.

[DouglasJWilkening]

High school kid in the mid 60’s. Fell asleep with a transistor radio under my pillow every night listening to all of these. (Millennials ask, “Dude, what’s a transistor radio?”)

[wmgthilgen]

i'm 72 years old now; Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

"Incense & Peppermints" - by The Strawberry Alarm Clock. A true one hit wonder band. This single was released with little airplay. (I heard it and went crazy, and annoyed it didn't catch). Some months later it was re-released and bang! This time not to be ignored. Great days !

[diannespalding]

None of these songs or bands have been forgotten by those of us who were teens in the 60s. Still hear many of them on Jukebox Oldies on Stingray.

[georgecerulean]

You're preaching to the choir here. The 1960s is my absolute favorite decade for music. From 1960 to 1969, from Rhythm and Blues, to Surf Rock, to Folk Rock, to the British Invasion, Psychedelia, Bubblegum Pop, Hard Rock, early Heavy Metal, and even early Electronic Rock, the sheer amount of quality music that came from that decade is incredible. ✌☮

[patrickreilly]

"Ferry cross the Mersey",
"Don't let the sun catch you crying", my very first album I ever bought.

[patrickreilly]

Crimson and clover is still one of the best songs ever recorded. It's on my Pandora station that I play EVERYDAY.

[deronmays]

These are all great songs. They’re not forgotten. You can hear them on oldies stations all the time, especially House of the Rising Sun.

[victoriaballard]

No one who lived it had forgotten any of these songs.

[birdsfan]

RIP Gerry Marsden, lead singer of Gerry and the Pacemakers, who died last week at the age of 78...

[paulmartin]

Most of these songs are actually very well-known and often played on reaction channels. Some songs that have sadly disappeared and need to be heard and heard often would be Love is All Around by theTroggs, What theWorld Needs Now by Jackie DeSannon, Darlin BE Home Soon by Lovin Spoonful, and Easy To Be Hard by Three Dog Night, a powerful ballad important and as relevant today as it ever was.
