1960's GENTLE MUSIC. TODAY'S MUSIC IS NASTY & NEGATIVE. WE NEED MORE BEAUTY IN MUSIC AGAIN. THESE ARE GOOD EXAMPLES

OMG

My Fav 60's instrumental with singing sirens.

I'm currently distracted with this tune.

Funny how things change over time.

Yea, I was walking along the street a few days ago and a car drove by with speakers blaring loud rap music. Mean, profane, nasty lyr ics with a boom-box bass thumping beat heard for a good distance all around the driver.

That to me is the essence of what our culture has regressed into. Mean, nasty, profane cultural leftism.

That driver, incidentally, was not a black guy. I've seen people like him of all shades, colors and backgrounds driving around with rap blaring from their speakers.

WTH?

To OP and all that posted to this thread...

Thanks for the memories! The music of the 60s was very special and many of the tunes live in my heart to this day. No decade since has produced such a wealth of talent. The youth of today have no idea whatsoever of what great music is. I feel sorry for them.

LOL......just had to put this one down!

Derailment

New instrumental psychedelic weirdness.

This one could make you cry, if you actually listen to the words....

And let's not forget Watching Scotty Grow!

Surrealistic Pillow bloc!-

Sweet Judy Blue Eyes!

And what beautiful blue eyes!

I also think of Joni Mitchell and 'The Circle Game' with the sadness and melancholy of the passage of time:

If glp knew they were mostly HEBREW guys, would they then hate them?

Well there are plenty of singers today not making satanic crap - but they just don't get promoted.

Look at these two as good as anything past - but hardly anyone knows them.

Trad music. Lovely, heartfelt, melodic, full of heroes overcoming adversity...

the voices blend exquisitely ....


here's a nice medley. technically 60s are over but it still has the vibe ...

one of the prettiest love songs I know ... covered by Elvis, Rpberta Flack and also by A Jamaican chick, Bob Marley's background singer who did a great reggae version ...

the writer of the tune, who also wrote famous "the dirty old town" was a hardcore leftist Labour/trade union guy, who
later regretted having written such a soft, apolitical emo love song in a moment of weakness

how can you hate hippies?
(sound quality leaves something to be desired, though)

Who remembers Dominique?
