Top songs of the 60s

Since this is a new music blog, I figured my first order of business, was to do some sort of favorite songs list. I'll break the list up into stages of time and do a top 100 of all-time or something later on.

I started with my 30 favorite songs pre-1960 here. This time, It's my 100 favorite songs from the 1960s.


I stated in my previous post that I am a huge Robert Johnson fan and many of his influences appear in the British Invasion artists of the 60s. The Rolling Stones especially worshiped Johnson. Since Johnson is one of my favorite artists of all-time, it would make since that the Stones would be as well. They are well represented on this list.
