Music from the 60's and 70's for project

[ARboy]

Hey guys, I'm currently sitting in the computer lab at school, and it was left up to me to find the music for the project. I need about 6 or 7 songs from the 60's and 70's that represent the era.

Thanks

Tough to narrow down to so few, but off the top of my head:

Otis Redding: "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay"
Beatles: "A Day in the Life"
Doors" "Light My Fire"
Dylan: "The Times They Are a-Changin'"
Rolling Stones: "Sympathy for the Devil"
The Who: "My Generation"
Marvin Gaye: What's Goin' On"

Rolling Stones: Paint it Black
Anything Jimi Hendrix

 

[Leonidas]

Fifth Dimension - Age of Aquarius
Quicksilver Messenger Service - What about Me
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young - Forget It Ohio

Quintessential anthems of the flower power generation.

Deep Purlpe, Smoke on the water.
Vanilla Fudge, You keep me hanging on.
Iron Butterfly, Inagaddadavidda
CSN&Y, Woodstock

Dylan is unlistenable! But if you are forced to use Dylan at gunpoint, you can pick ANY song he has, they ALL sound the same.

Creedence Clearwater Revival - "Fortunate Son"

Rolling Stones - "Satisfaction"

Hendrix - "Purple Haze"

Blue Oyster Cult - "Don't Fear the Reaper"

Black Sabbath - "Ironman" or "War Pigs" or "Paranoid"

Moody Blues - "Nights in White Satin"

Marvin Gaye - "Let's Get It On"

IMO, you need to at lease have something from The Rolling Stones and CCR

How Could I forget:

Zeppelin, Stariway to heaven

I can't listen to it anymore, but you young whippersnappers should aprreciate it for it's era.

Did I mention how terrible Bob Dylan music is?

If you are truly 16 years old, please don't allow this garbage into you young fertile ears.

It is aural rape!

 

[Pookie]

No Dylan? Yikes! The Byrds version of "Mr. Tambourine Man," then.

At this point, my group has agreed on:

Bob Dylan- tangled up in blue

billy joel-we didnt start the fire

5th dimension-age of aquarius

bill withers-lovely day

A very strong case could be made that music produced by Rush is at least listenable!
