Doing some end of the month tidying up and I came across a list of songs thrown together to help the lad with that week’s homework: “listen to some music from the 1960s.” We’d had a thoroughly entertaining hour or so after dinner as I hunted around in Youtube and chose what I thought was an appropriate selection. Part way through I guessed — incorrectly — with Silver Machine, then we lapsed into a few songs that were recommended to be listened to, then dragged ourselves back to the task at hand:
- Nancy Sinatra - These Boots Are Made For Walking (1966)
- The Doors - Light My Fire (1967)
- Aretha Franklin - RESPECT (1967)
- The Monkees - I’m a Believer (1967)
- The Troggs - Wild Thing (1966)
- Procul Harum - Whiter Shade of Pale (1967)
- The Animals - House of the Rising Sun (1964)
- The Rolling Stones - (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction (1965)
- The Beach Boys - I get Around (1964)
- Hawkwind - Silver Machine (1972)
- Motorhead - Heroes (2017)
- The Clash - I Fought the Law (1979)
- Johnny Cash - Hurt (2002)
- Barry McGuire - Eve of Destruction (1965)
- Norman Greenbaum - Spirit in the Sky (1969)
- The Undertones - Teenage Kicks (1977)
Of course I had to finish off with Teenage Kicks, it was there in the recommendations and it lurks there in my .
Who knows what listening to that lot will do to my youtube recommendations next time I go there for music.
