Hey Davey,

Man , the 60s' were a confusing time for me musically...I was just learning to play in the late 60s and would have to do a bunch of googling to find out whether alot of material that liked then was late 60's OR early 70s'...
Wilson Picketts "Land of a 1000 dances " really stands out..Most of what you listed I got into in the 70s'.Since didnt "really" play(jam to records with actually knowing the arragement ) till 70-71 alot my favs kinda fuse the decades...BUT NOW, I listen to a 60s' station they call the 60s' channal...Ill be ridin my bike just like I did in 68, listenin to AM radio, blastin the 60s' channel.(ass starts hurtin after about an hr now though )..Most bands with heavy harmony I get into now...THEN , I could care less about vocals.... ...Sounds like you have a well rounded appreciation for all the genres that were out then....Its funny how 35 yrs changes your tastes in music...I like some of the 60's bubble gum stuff now I couldnt stand then GAWD ,Im embarrassed to say who...
I still jam regularly to The Who"and alot of who you listed....
The 70's is MY decade though which really included alot of 60s' but try tellin ME that Ok , Ill shut up now....I cant help reminiscing on these posts...
