Updated April 16, 2023 1960s Best Songs It's love, rolling stones, beatles and beach, boys. _________________ 50 Top Hits of rock and roll Music video Hear the songs See the videos FREE Check the list below During the summer of love in 1967, young people descended on San Francisco and other destinations "with flowers in their hair" as the lyrics go. Paisley shirts, bell bottom trousers, fanciful caps and long hair (afros and shoulder-length) were prevailing garb for young men. Free-flowing dresses with country prints were popular among young women, with headbands, zodiac-love-charm jewelry, and minimal make-up rounding out their "flower children" apearance. It was a time to protest the war in Vietnam by day, then chill out in open parties at night where good music, gallon-jug wine, marijuana and relatively free sex could be experienced. Bob Dylan, the Doors and the Rolling Stones made the songs that captured the times. Mixed with this was the growing beach culture and its surfing music. It was drenched in surfing and sun all day, then beach parties all night -- around fire pits on the sand, empty beer bottles overflowing the trash cans, and the Beach Boys cranked up on portable radios. California merged the two cultures, and became one of the destinations for teens who wanted to get out on the open road and "see America," as evoked in movies like Easy Rider. Curiously added to this mixture was the arrival of a group from Liverpool to America and the rest of the world, know as the Beatles. They evolved alongside us from young-teen sounds like "I Want to Hold Your Hand" to the more grown-up strains of "Hey Jude." We grew up and changed during those years also, taking the first steps of what would become our life. With us we carried the sounds and images of those days.

Comments: Been searching for a site that contains music videos of the 1950s and 1960s for some time now and just ran across yours...so thanks to all of you. -- Ray N, Australia Great site. Ran across it as I was doing some research on music from the 60's. Love it. Although I think I prefer hippie. Keep up the good work. -- Todd G, Nebraska Love the website. 50 best songs is a kick and hard to argue with, though one could spend all night debating what songs belong. One I'd remove - "Proud Mary." Maybe replace with Zombies "She's Not There" or "Just A Little" by Beau Brummels. -- Tom A, Lake Bluff, IL Love the music compilations, thank you! Great site. -- Susan, Falls Church, VA Just love your website -- what a great idea to be able to listen to all these amazing hits with the click of a mouse -- puts you right back into the fun times you had when you were younger. -- Gudrun S, Sherman Oaks, CA __________________________________________________________ You can post a comment for this article, or for anything on our website.
