"White Lies Blue Eyes" is my all-time favorite one-hit wonder, with a proto-Brian May guitar solo!

I like to hear songs from the sixties that were played in regular rotation on radio stations but didn't crack the top 10. Oldies stations always ignore those even those they were part of the sound of the times.

#1, 6&10 are definitely #1's in my book!❤👍

[festidious]

Good list. Notice that Timothy was written by Rupert Holmes. I had the album and there was another really good song on it called, The Prince Of Thieves' also written by Rupert that got some air play here.

[ariinkeroinen]

So now we're up to my high school years near Oakland, California. A few of these didn't make it to the west coast. Some charted regionally but not state-wide. Songs that were on playlists in Sacramento or Fresno were often ignored in the bay area. Never heard The Buoys record. But a unique spelling of the name and a cool string hook that catches your ear. "Layla" peaked at #51, eh? But this song became the "King of the Super Surveys" in the 80's. KFRC (San Francisco's Big 610) used to run an annual "Firecracker 500" around July 4th and listeners sent in postcards listing their all time favorite top 10 songs (in hopes of winning cash prizes). "Layla" and "Stairway to Heaven" were #1 and 2 every year they ran it. (80 to 89. Then 610 changed formats). KYNO in Fresno had similar results. The Fortunes were a UK band that hit big with "You Got Your Troubles" in '65. Then nothing for years. They re-appeared in 1970 singing the Coca-Cola jingle ("It's The Real Thing")...pre "I'de Like To Teach The World"....and it was EVERYWHERE on every station in every market. "Rainy Day Feeling" was the result. The Glass Bottle song was produced by Dickie Goodman, who created and produced all those novelty records using clips of various records having wacky conversations with humans. Under the guise of Buchannan and Goodman, Buchannan and Greenfield, The Delegates and a few others we got "The Flying Saucer", "Ben Crazy" and "Convention '72" just to name three. But there was no Buchannon, or Greenfield. Goodman had done it all himself. Wasn't much into country music but Charlie Pride was perhaps the first black artist to break through that genre.
