Might be stupid but is this limited to original songs? Or will covers be counted?

 

covers are counted

 

Been away this week so will try and make one when I get back lol.

 

1. The Beach Boys - God Only Knows
2. King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man
3. King Crimson - Epitaph
4. King Crimson - The Court of the Crimson King
5. King Crimson - I Talk to the Wind

7. The Jimi Hendrix Experience - All Along the Watchtower
8. Etta James - At Last
9. The Jackson 5 - I Want You Back
10. Frank Zappa - Peaches en Regalia

I guess. I'm not overly familiar with 60's music yet haha. I love these songs though!

 

Yes they are

 

1) Heartbreaker - Led Zeppelin
2) Twist and Shout - The Beatles
3) Wouldn’t It be Nice - The Beach Boys
4) I Want You Back- Jackson 5
5) Evil Ways- Santana
6) My Girl- The Temptations
7) Brown Eyed Girl- Van Morrison
8) Baby I Need Your Loving- Four Tops
9) Build Me Up Buttercup- The Foundations
10) Ain’t No Mountain High Enough - Marvin Gaye


Definitely influenced by what I heard around the house with my parents.

 

we have a three way tie for last place of the top 10 so im gonna do a round robin type coin flip for it:

flip 1: Eleanor Rigby (heads) vs. Sitting on the Dock of the Bay (tails) = Tails
flip 2: Sweet Thing (heads) vs. Eleanor Rigby (tails) = Heads
flip 3: Sweet Thing (heads) vs. Sitting on the Dock of the Bay (tails) = Tails

Otis Redding's "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" will be the final song from the 60s moving on

solid list overall! surprised by no pink floyd and a few others but i think they'll be better represented in the 70s. which, reminder, won't go up until a week from tomorrow

 

My friend, do I have a bunch of threads for you. Hah

 

I've got a big "to listen" list haha.

 

Really hard to argue with that list!

 

You’re giving me too much time to tinker and turn it all to shit. I just took Marvin Gaye off my 70s list and put KISS on it for God’s sake. It has to end soon.

 

Don’t be afraid of sharing your favorite songs…shout it out loud.

 

My girlfriend has started a full on lobbying campaign to influence my 80s list

 

DETROIT

ROCK CITY

 

i cannot get into kiss no matter how hard i try

 

kiss rocks

 

Honestly, Destroyer and Alive! are probably sufficient in your collection, really.

 

KISS to me is a singles band, but yes Destroyer is *the* KISS album.

I don’t actually know why I like KISS in particular. I just kind of always have

 

self-titled, love gun, rock and roll over, lick it up. all better than destroyer. i think destroyer gets all the love because it doesn't really sound like a kiss album

 

You had me until Lick it Up. Destroyer is better than that. I'd replace it with Creatures of the Night.

 

that's very fair, but i raise you exciter on lick it up

 

I raise you the War Machine riff and Paul on I Still Love You

 

i'm gonna say paul on all hell's breaking loose and vinnie vincent's riffs on not for the innocent, but you win with i still love you
