I suppose this would be the place for a thoughtful little essay on how music changed in the sixties, how different styles coexisted on the radio, how easy-listening was the last bastion of the aging Greatest Generation’s ossifying tastes, and all that.

But you didn’t click on a site about music to read words. Suffice to say it was probably the most eclectic decade of the 20th century, for good and for ill. These pages contain interesting songs - not necessarily great ones, but interesting ones. Some songs I love. Some I can't stand. But a promise: not the usual suspects.
