OK everyone, how about these songs to set the stage for more ‘interesting’ music to come in the next five volumes to be created? This is what I’ve put on my first CD (very mid-60s!):

The Mamas & The Papas – California Dreamin’
The Turtles – Happy Together
? and The Mysterians – 96 Tears
The Beatles – Day Tripper
The Beatles – We Can Work It Out
Barry McGuire – Eve of Destruction (a GREAT tune, as appropriate today as it was then)
The Rolling Stones – Out Of Time
Paul rever & The Raiders – Kicks
Strawberry Alarm Clock – Incense And Peppermints
Nancy Sinatra – These Boots Were Made For Walkin’
The Byrds – Mr. Tambourine Man
The Beatles – Nowhere Man
The Byrds – Turn! Turn! Turn!
The Beatles – Tomorrow Never Knows (early cut from “The Beatles Anthology”)
The Beatles – Love You To
Bob Dylan – Like A Rolling Stone
The Beach Boys – Good Vibrations
Creedence Clearwater Revival – Born On The Bayou
The Rolling Stones – Paint It Black
Canned Heat – Goin’ Up The Country
Buffalo Springfield – For What It’s Worth
Creedence Clearwater Revival – I Put A Spell On You
Manfred Mann – Quinn The Eskimo
The Turtles – Buzzsaw

Not too many bad cuts on that, wouldn’t you say? I’ll tell you this – it puts today’s so-called music (spelled N-O-I-S-E) to shame!

Watch in these parts for what I’ve put on Volume 2, but you better think about getting your granny glasses and Nehru jackets out first!
