Hearing today’s popular music, I realize how lucky we were in the 1960s. Such variety. Such richness. Music was so alive. At age 77 years old, I still know every word to every song.

I was fourteen in '65. What a time to be alive! Everything was clear and bigger than life.

I was 15 that year, lived in the coutryside of southern Denmark near the border to Germany - with only gravel roads to the world - got a tape recorder and a tube radio. The "awakening" of that year was not just about `65, but about AWAKENINGS as such! In this video You brought back all that for real. THANK YOU !

Nothing beats the 60's music, I am 67 but my foster son just turned 21. I smile when my playlist fills the home and he sings along and even knows the words. What a funny world.

1965- My all time favorite year for music. I was 13 years old, and feel so fortunate to be alive during that wonderful time! It's hard to pick out my favorites songs, there were so many. However, offhand I would say "My Girl", "Satisfaction", "I Feel Fine", "I can't help myself", and probably my number one favorite, "Like A Rolling Stone". What a time to be alive!

My favorite 5 years of music is 1965 to 1969. Those years had everything you could want.

As a London kid back then it felt like I had been born in paradise. A beautiful time to be alive.

In January, 1965, I was in the middle of my junior year in high school.
This is our music.

I was 7 years old in 65 but still remember hearing the music of that year. I began saving allowance money to buy 45's throughout the 60s. I grew up on it and bet I know every word to every hit released that year. We listened to the radio nearly every day so memorized every song. There was something for everyone with the music of the 60s

[garypautard]

Only people in my generation who lived through the sixties can tell you what an amazing decade it was. It was a new beginning, not just music but in art and fashion . There was a euphoria felt by everyone and being British was very cool. And talking about music did you notice the influx of Tamala Motown and Soul and Blues and how popular black music was back then. That's one in the eye for the modern myth about racism during this period.

"One hit song after another, all day long" that sums up the era!

[TimesTimes]

We experienced the best of rock radio in 1965. Too bad that young kids will never get that feeling today.

[peterfoster]

I feel priviledged to have lived in that magic era, I was 19 in 65. We thought we could change the world but when I look at my contemoraries now it seems the world has changed them.

In 1965 I was 9 years old. Both my parents worked so during summer break from school a teenage girl from the neighborhood would keep an eye on (baby sit?) me & my younger bro. Those were the days when those watching over kids would say "You've finished breakfast, get out of here, don't come back 'til lunch!". After lunch it was, "Go play outside, don't come back 'til dinner!". I used to beg that girl to let me stay inside so I could hear the r&r & r&b that she constantly cranked on the radio. That was when I became obsessed with a sound that I later learned was a bass guitar. Later still I became quite a good bass guitarist myself. Thank you Carolyn & thank you 1965!!!

I turned nine on the 20th of January, 1956. In those days we had ‘transistor radios’. We turned them way down and held them to our ears as we pretended to be sleeping. We listened to the world changing.

Every town of any size had a ‘record store’. They contained zillions of 45rpm record. The teenagers in the neighborhood had ‘record players’ where we spent our afternoons listening to The Beatles and The Stones.

We were dipped in rock-and-roll and folk and country-western. There were TV shows in the late afternoon that featured every act. We sat spellbound watching them change the world.

It would have been magical had it not been for Vietnam.

[jamesdrynan]

I was fourteen that year, with my own group playing covers of most of the songs mentioned. It was a great time with a diverse musical world.

[boris]

Who is still watching 6 decades later - *1965 to 2025.*

[enshrinehd]

I was very young in the 60's but I remember how I felt hearing these songs on the radio. I still feel excited listening to them.

[fredkrissman]

This looks really GROOVY! I was only 11 yrs young, but the music of 1965 changed ME forever... For the good!

65-69 living in Los Angeles and listening to 93-KHJ 'Boss Radio'' every day. Great memories!
