I post this for all of my readers, but for my musical readers especially. Let me have your honest opinion.
While surfing MSN the other day, I came across an article entitled “1960’s Pop Songs That Should Be Permanently Retired.” I agree with some of these, and I’m sure you can guess which ones. On the other hand there are a couple I actually like.
So here is the list. No commentary. What are your thoughts? I will post my own comments in an upcoming blog.
1960’s Pop Songs That Should Be Permanently Retired (From MSN.com)
Sugar, Sugar – The Archies
Green Tambourine – Lemon Pipers
In The Year 2525 – Zager and Evans
Cherish – The Association
Little Children – Billy J. Kramer
MacArthur Park – Richard Harris
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La Da – The Beatles
You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’ – Righteous Brothers
Eve of Destruction – Barry McGuire
Build Me Up Buttercup – The Foundations
Brown Eyed Girl – Van Morrison
The Ballad of the Green Berets – Sgt. Barry Sadler
Yummy, Yummy, Yummy – Ohio Express
There were a couple others on the list that were more late 1950’s, so I opted to not share those.
So, what do you think? Do you agree? Are there songs that should be on this list that aren’t? I’d love to hear your comments.
