Dan_Dare Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Not a bad list. I think you've chosen a few bands that I'd put elsewhere- like the stones. They wrote and recorded much better songs a few years later. I'd put the zep earlier, too, and pick from their first LP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McPhee Posted June 5, 2010 Author Share Posted June 5, 2010 Not a bad list. I think you've chosen a few bands that I'd put elsewhere- like the stones. They wrote and recorded much better songs a few years later. I'd put the zep earlier, too, and pick from their first LP. If I was picking the best tracks by those bands then yeah, I'd have done the same. Getting the whole thing to fit together made me change stuff though, the 60's really weren't that great so choices are a bit thin on the ground up to 68. By the 60's (imo) Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Ray Charles et all who were big in the 50's had lost it a bit, some very poor albums. That leaves The Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, The Who and The Yardbirds for the majority of the 60's. Not really a fan of The Yardbirds or Beachboys so it was either double dip or go with early Stones/Beatles/Who tracks. Might move Led Zep though, having the Jackson 5 in '69 is a bit of a disgrace given how good a year it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
