Songs We Like

[fuzzi]

Of course. The Troggs, known for... * crickets *
Actually, now that I'm looking, I see a few other songs. Man, everyone wanted to be the Beatles back then. Or at least The Beatles capitalized on that style. It's fascinating to go back and look at what was popular. We need a 60's/70's person. I summon @BigBlueHen53!

Edit: My parents were more 70's/80's people. I try my best, but I'm out of time (ala Hall and Oates, which my mother loathed).

I loathed Hall & Oates, too.

Nah. It's just a great representation of 60's era music. There's a lot to choose from, and many modern genres saw their roots in 60's music.

It was such an experimental time in music, so I can respect anyone that came up with a catchy hit.

How can anyone hate Hall & Oates!?

Agreed! There’s some solid material there.

PS. I'm an 80's kid. I mentally block out most of the soft pop and disco of the 70's, and I regret nothing.

I don't consider most of that to be soft rock or disco. Except the Bee Gees. You are welcome to them. My dislike of 70's music is heavily influenced by Karen Carpenter, Barry Manilow, Neal Diamond, The Lettermen, etc. Hard pass on all of that.

Bee Gees got me with their harmonies and range, especially later in the 1970s with SNF.

If the Carpenters are too soft for you, okay, that's your opinion. I love listening to Karen Carpenter's voice, especially live. No studio, no autotune, just pure vocals.

Live...

She. Was. Amazing.
