Common people, some of you must have seen American Graffiti, some of you must love the Beatles, and love the music from the Vietnam films. What are you favourite tracks from arguably the most revolutionary decades from the 20th century in terms of music?
Are my mates and I the only sad cunts that love this old shit?
Anything by simon and Garfunkel, or Paul Simon on his own. Bright Eyes makes alomst makes me cry and it's got fuck all to do with dirty rabbits. Kodachome reminds me of my mum for some reason (but that's 70's)

The Hollies - He Aint Heavy
Elvis - Devil In Disguise
Sam Cooke - Wonderful World
Animals - Gotta Get Out Of This Place
Beatles - Let It Be
Manfred Man - The Mighty Quinn http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsVm2VuAHYU
Ruby Tuesday - Marrianne Faithful :thumb: better than the Stones

Dusty Springfield - Son Of A Preacher
Ben E King - Stand By Me
The Crystals - Then He Kissed Me

Favourite Beatles songs have got to be Eleanor Rigby, Yesterday and Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.
Bits and pieces of other bands.
dion - runaround sue
melanie - ruby tuesday (just downloading the marianne faithful version)
mams and the paps - california dreaming
amen corner - if paradise is half as nice as
!:yes:
I can't remember what decade it is, but: Denise La Salle - Don't Mess With My Toot Toot. Best song EVER!
it's from the 80s and it needs reverb. not bad but what's a toot toot
Back to the thread (:D), I'm not all that clued up on 50s music but I have huge amounts of material (live and studio) from the 60s. The earlier music is a bit too 'pop' for my liking but from about 1965 things changed for the better; coinciding with the Beatles (and plenty of other bands) taking massive amounts of drugs by the looks of it. Lately I've been listening to CSNY, Jefferson Airplane (not only was Grace Slick stunning back then but she had an incredible voice), the Doors, Cream, Led Zep, the Kinks... Later Beatles stuff is far better than their I-Wanna-Hold-Your-Hand guff, particularly Revolver, Abbey Road and "The White Album". And last but definitely not least, Syd and Pink Floyd. Although despite them playing around 200 gigs in 1967, live recordings of that era are rare, sadly.
On a slight tangent, does it piss anyone else off when auld folk assume you only listen to chart crap like Razorlight, Snow Patrol and the Killers just because you're in your 20s?
The only 50s music that springs to mind is The Everly Brothers, a very guilty pleasure :razz:
Other than that:
Led Zep (obviously)
The Doors
Cream
The Beatles
Bob Dylan
Yeh.
We Gotta Get Out Of This Place - Animals
Cream
Beatles
Good stuff.
There's so much to choose from- Nina Simone, The Who, The Doors, The Kinks, Cream, Dylan, Beach Boys, Elvis, Cash, Marianna Faithful, The Beatles, The Stones, Pink Floyd, Mamas and the Papas...
Random songs that I include:
Jacques Brel - Ne Me Quitte Pas
Nina Simone - See Line Woman
The Who - I Can't Explain
The Stones - Paint it Black; She's a Rainbow
The Doors - Riders on the Storm
Dylan - Desolation Row
The Kinks - Days
Marianne Faithfull - As Tears Go By; Sister Morphine
Elvis - Suspicious Minds
Barry McGuire - Eve of Destruction
Mamas and the Papas - California Dreaming
The Beatles - A Day in the Life
Who?
Bob Dylan
13th Floor Elevators
Country Joe & The Fish
The Stooges
The Kinks - Village Green Preservation Society
And I like the Beatles, but I can't stand all the hype surrounding them. It's as if nothing new that anyone ever makes can possibly be as good or as influential, which is bullshit. They're like the music equivalent of Citizen Kane.
1967 - 1977 :thumb:
From The Piper At the Gates Of Dawn to Animals, including Zep II, IV, Houses of the Holy, five nights at Earl's Court, The White Album, Abbey Road, Let It Be, Woodstock, Free Bird, Hendrix, Neil Young, Cream, Surrealistic Pillow and Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow. It is by far the best decade of music I reckon.
The only 'era' I have enjoyed as much (although it can't touch the late 60s/70s for impact/creativity etc.) is the mid 90s, when Pink Floyd showed how a live show should be done and Oasis took over the (music) world.
Excuse me?
Anything from Astral Weeks.
What's so hard to understand?
Anyhow - I listened to the Beatles 1 album on my BriPod when I got in last night, and I enjoyed it very much :yes:
