need some 50's, 60's, some 70's "classic" songs

[Warthog]

Once in a while I like to listen to some "classic" songs from said era. Some favorites are Ben E. King - "Stand By Me", Diana Ross & the Supremes - "Baby Love", Four Tops - "I Can't Help Myself", J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers - "Last Kiss" and Van Morrison - "Brown Eyed Girl". I like the "catchy" tunes.

What songs would any of you guys/gals recommend?

[canit]

How 'bout the Beatle's-"Here Comes The Sun", Buffalo Springfield's-"For What It's Worth", Kinks'-"Lola" and Blood, Sweat & Tears'-"And When I Die". http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

[El_Brio]

How about:

"Blueberry Hill" - Fats Domino
"Rocket Man" - Elton John
"Folsom Prison Blues" - Johnny Cash
"Kodachrome" - Paul Simon
"Message in a Bottle" - The Police
"Sympathy for the Devil" - The Rolling Stones
"All Along the Watchtower" - Hendrix (or Dylan)
"Rock the Casbah" - The Clash

Or perhaps the whole album "The Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd. If you don't have it you need it! Just a small list culled from my mp3 collection. To many others to list here. Even though I'm pretty young (25) I almost exclusively listen to 60's and 70's stuff. Music just sucks nowadays. (with a few exceptions)

A different approach...go to Rhino Records site and check out the "Nuggets" collections. DL the songs on these lists. You will end up with the cream of 60's garage band rock, not a small feat.

Barry White is cool
KISS-Detroit Rock City
Rock n Roll all night
Hard luck Woman
Black Diamond
Heck, anything by KISS.

Pat Benatar-Shadows of the Night

Lots of good suggestions here to add to my collection!
