Back in the late 60's I had a small radio and at night the am stations from the states would "skip" in.
Used to listen to WLS I think it was from Chicago.Some of the songs I heard were-Bee Gees -"you dont know what its like",Friend and lover-"reach out in the darkness" Donovan-"hurdy gurdy man" and lots of others-they played those songs a lot.

LOL, us youngsters had the best music when we were in high school in the 80's.

Of course some of the best stuff was remakes from you old guy's era...

Boco.WLS was indeed from Chicago,I used to pick it up late nights in MN. I really liked the Bee Gees during their pre disco times.
My Donovan cassette bit the dust not long ago--Sunshine superman and Atlantis ,were as good as Hurdy gurdy man.
ADC--I saw that one of tour 80s groups --did cherry pie. The only song of cherry pie I heard was by Skip and Flip and I doubt they were anywhere near the same song.
Skip went on to become the Byrds bass player from 1970 to 1973,he died a couple years ago.

I was subjected to everything from Tony Bennett to Steppenwolf to the Archie's. It was a difficult time.

Joe Walsh, Ian Dury, Black Sabb, and of course Led Zep.

i dont think Mick Jagger and Keith Richards had to wear make up to get peoples attention . Dont remember seeing Eric Clapton wear it either. AC/DC showed up in the 70's and Angus was/is a real character in that school boy outfit, running around like a chicken on meth. The guy can play that guitar though and I always like listening to them.

P.S. how can you not like this?

is this Red Ohearn?

All good music but nothing compared to Back Street Boys and N*Sync.

Trying to pick a fight, huh?

There was this young crew that started out in Jacksonville Florida in the mid 60s. Not known as a 60s band but exploded in popularity in the 70s. They did settle on the name for the band by 1969. Surprised they haven't received honourable mention on this thread. I think I new every lyric to all the big numbers in my teens, lol.

Borrowing a quote from Young Guns...I gotta part with a nasty secret...there is a Back Street Boys song I Iike. Just one, and my man card remains intact.

Looking at little girls with bad intent, I don't like any song he does,[/quote]

Just describing the character in the song as evil nothing more. IMO

But he had snot running down his nose. Bungle in the Jungle wasn't too bad.

And greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.

I agree...Simply describing an ill intended person...

Perhaps fewer people these days in our "main stream" should have sand castle virtues

And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away
In the tidal destruction the moral melee
The elastic retreat rings the close of play
As the last wave uncovers the new-fangled way

But your new shoes are worn at the heels
And your suntan does rapidly peel
And your wise men don't know how it feels
To be thick as a brick
