Timeless Gems - Sixties & Seventies

Hi everyone!

I'm a massive music-lover and like a multitude of genres. Apart from my boyfriend, I don't know any people who share the same interests, so I decided to start a new, returning topic here on my blog: Timeless gems.

Every decade has its own sound, a representation of those habbits, trends and topics. I grew up with music from 40-50-60 years ago and would like to share my picks of timeless classics. I tried to divide it in different time frames, but please keep in mind that I might be a few years off :)

 

First up: The sixties and seventies, if I could use a time machine, these are the years I want to return to. Love, peace and rock 'n roll, no strict rules about every little thing, the youngsters could experiment freely. This period definitely has some of the best music ever made, the era of rock bands with idealistic lads, using their lyrics to dream about a war-free future: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, The Doors and much much more.

Here are my most loved tracks of those years.

Ben E. King - Stand by Me

 

Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge over troubled water

The Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody

The Doors - The End

The Ronettes - Be my Baby

Terry Jacks - Seasons in the Sun

Louis Armstrong - What a wondeful World

Simon & Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence

 
Procol Harum - A Whiter Shade of Pale

The Mama's and the Papa's - California Dreamin'

The Beatles - Yesterday

The Doors - Riders on the Storm

Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven

Scott McKenzie - San Francisco

If you like "older" music, have a listen to the above! This is only an extremely small selection, leaving out many great talents such as Janis Joplin or The Byrds. I might do a par 2 later on :)

Let me know what you think, are you a sixties/seventies lover? Or maybe you're obsessed with an other period? Just comment below and we can share thoughts and opinions! Xoxo
