Sixties music song suggestions -> ! Thread

Howdy folklers. I'm currently going through a 1960's and early '70s music binge, trying to digest as much as I can. I think I've reached a dead end, as there aren't many other songs I can think of, and I've already gone through all my older albums and 'best of' collections ripping tracks. So I'm just seeking some suggestions from any other people who've gone through this phase to share your gained knowledge with me, on what you've listened to and loved. Thanks.

Here's a playlist of the current songs I have assembled:

HERE

And yes, I am aware a select few of those songs aren't from the sixties, but they fit in nonetheless.

Where the hell is your Simon & Garfunkel at

or Ray Charles, or The Clash, or Def Leppard, or Duran Duran, or The Beatles, or The Doors, or The Who, or Led Zeppelin?

Led Zepplin isn't 60's, and he does have The Doors up there

Well, he said he was on a 60's/70's binge, and some of the artists up there are 70's, so I just thought he'd be interested in those, too.

early 70's.

Try Velvet Underground out... Other than that, I'd recommend Fleetwood Mac, and Jefferson Airplane. And of course the obvious ones, but those have all been mentioned.

Get Blues at Sunrise the version with Janis Joplin, BB King, and Jimi Hendrix... awesome song

[EDIT]oh yeah and where does everyone get those winamp playlist hosting sites?? I mean you may host yours yourself but where else could you get it??

He's got Jimi Hendrix on the playlist

yeah but not with BB king and Janis Joplin plus BB King pwns Hendrix.

BB King and Hendrix are in two different genres You can't really compare the two. BB King was a Blues King (what a coincidence) and Hendrix was a rock n roll king

yeah but BB King has played with everyone from Hendrix to SRV (if Christianity was not my religion I would worship SRV) and Janis Joplin was a huge artist in the 60s

Go into Winamp and click the Misc Options and Generate Playlist to make the playlist. If you want hosting, look at my sig ^_^

Also I offer hosting as well

I host 4 friends

The Birds, The Mama And The Papas, Sam Cooke! just some of them!

Aww no hosting for me wait isnt the signs a 60's band? lol just guess a random noun and it probably is... the windshield wipers, the pillow cases, the beatles... lol who would call a band the beatles

Oh yeah, talking of 60s instrumentals, check out Rich Ragsdale - No One Lives Forever. It isn't truely an instrumental, as there is a short singing segment, but it is dominated by the instrumental melody.

I personally think that the name "Beatles" is quite humorous. In case you didn't get the pun in the name (I'm not implying that you didn't, but I'm just pointing it out), its like "Beetles", but with "beat" instead of "beet". Like the Beetles of the Beat (Rock). But everyone already knew that 50 years ago, so leave me alone. lol.

wuts the -les then???? Oh yeah I know you already have Hendrix but do you have "Little Wing"? Thats a great instrumental/guitar solo, except for the SRV version is better

Any song by the Yardbirds - they had eric clapton and jimmy page at one time so you know they were good

Black Sabbeth? The Who?

Already got first two of the three (the songs I got from Birds have the band as "The Byrds", not sure if they are the same band). None from Sam Cooke though. What are some of his most well known songs?

Would that happen also be from the game NOLF perchance?

I have "Experience Hendrix", which includes Little Wing amongst other greats (Fire, Dolly Dagger, Hey Joe and the other two in my playlist). Little Wing reminds me a lot of the 60's rock in Vietcong.

Pfft Beetles. My folks have some greatest hits of the Beetles or something, but I don't know which tracks I'd include if I ripped it.
