What songs from the 1960's are still on your playlist?
The 1960's boasts a vast array of music styles and genres throughout the decade. Many genres crossed and blurred lines, and new sub-genres or were created.
Throughout the 60's, we had a variety of pop, rock, Motown / R&B and soul. There were all of those tragedy songs, muscle car songs, and surf songs playing on the radio. Then came The Beatles and the British invasion. Folk music evolved into folk-rock, and Bob Dylan became one of the most influential songwriters of the decade and beyond. Folk music became a popular genre for the counterculture and protest songs (anti-war, civil rights). Folk-rock segued into psychedelic rock and songs of the drug culture. Elvis made a comeback in '68. Later in the decade, progressive rock began to merge various genres and styles, including classical music. And by the end of the decade, blues rock was moving to hard rock and heavy rock territory.
So much happened? What did I miss?
Here's an article that I found for a memory refresher.

So, what songs from the 1960's are still on your playlist today?

@BobH07 - Your posts are a nice trip down memory lane, and there are a lot of songs I haven't heard in years. I had a Grass Roots (greatest hits?) album with those songs, and it was a favorite, back in the day. I had a tight budget, and often waited for a greatest hits or compilation album to come along, but otherwise had the radio on. And then they started changing the media every decade!
