Every time we get into the car I push the 60's-70's rock stations and my wife and daughter hate it and roll their eyes. I continually let them know that my music at least has a good beat...and their hip hop mombo jombo sounds like crap to me.....They usually get their way and I suffer through it....There are so many songs I love from the 60s to 70s I don't know where to start....Hey Jude, Stairway to Heaven almost anything Beatles and the list goes on and on....BTW, I like 50's quite a bit too.....

If you guys haven't heard of BR-549 you need to go to YouTube and listen to them....they are a great throwback to Buddy Holly type music, with their own twang.....really good stuff imo.....

Barry - Some real good ones in there. Shapes of Things and She's Not There could easily be on my list too.

Leon - I will definitely check them out on YouTube when I get home. I am a huge Buddy Holly fan, and I like some other 50's music as well. I feel Buddy Holly is fairly underrated in regards to his place in Rock N Roll history.

Rob- all the Yardbirds songs were great. They are among the most underappreciated groups from the 60's. They are virtually never played, not even on the classic rock station in NY Q1043. I tried to get them to play a set a couple of years back but they never did.

[Robextend]

I agree, 104.3 should absolutely play some Yardbirds tunes. I think it would be more fitting then hearing a 90's group like Pearl Jam (who I like) on a "classic" rock station.

The Yardbirds seem to garner more fame because of Clapton, Beck and Page, but they were a great group.

No time to list the thousands of favorites from one of the most productive decades in the history of music, but here's one from each of my favorite categories.

Because the Yardbirds had those three legendary guitarists, it shocks me that they are never played.

And I added The Doors Light My Fire to my list. That's just about my favorite song.

Jason- Pet Sounds is a truly amazing album. It was # 2 on Rolling Stone Magazine's All-Time list.

I loved the results of the competition between The Beatles and The Beach Boys in that era. "Sgt. Pepper" may not have been what it is without "Pet Sounds".

Here's my favorite from that group Jimmy Page was in before Led Zeppelin.

Tsaiko- also check out on youtube the 1959 version of Miles doing So What. It's with John Coltrane.

And thanks for that Wooly Bully clip- never saw it before.

Hmm...

The Beatles - I'll let my handle speak for my love of the Beatles
Zeppelin - Anything off of Zeppelin I is great
Pink Floyd - Astronomy Domine
The Who - Can't Explain
The Beach Boys - Anything from Pet Sounds
Hendrix - Pretty much anything
The Doors - L.A. Woman

The list goes on...
