Probably me but if I were to list what I mainly listened to in the sixties it was probably nursery rhymes as I was in my 20s with two littlies. Jack Jones was definitely sixties, Neil Diamond and Glen Campbell may have been 70s.

I think some of you are getting your 60s and 70s mixed up :-D

The songs I picked I was much too young to remember them when they came out, but have always prefered the music from the late 50s and early 60s

I also have a lot I loved during the early to mid 70s when I was a teenager, it all went downhill after that

So many of the above titles bring back nostalgic memories.

My main one is Mr Tambourine Man by the Byrds

Another is
If I were a carpenter - The Four Tops version 1967



Too many others to choose!

That time had the best songs altho I do enjoy some modern day stuff.
