I was over wasting time at Pitchfork.com and found some pretty cool lists. Their staff comes together every once in a while and votes on their favorite songs and albums from certain decades. Its no surprise that my eyes instantly went to the 1960s lists. I loved the music from this decade, I am lucky that I had parents that listened to a lot of it and made it part of my childhood. Can you imagine being a fan of music and watching it go through everything its been through over the last 50 years? Yeah me either...
Here are their favorite songs from the 1960s. Its not too bad either, just a few rearranging from me and I would be 100% cool with it.
