I thought I'd scan my memory of different musical acts I've enjoyed over the span of my listening lifetime and came up with a list of my favorites from some of them. Now I've already put out some pretty long lists of personal favorite songs from acts like the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, the Doors, the Who, Yes, the Moody Blues, the Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley, the Monkees, Electric Light Orchestra, etc...maybe on a future date I'll place links to those lists on this blog..or you can find them for yourself by using the search engine provided in the upper left corner within the blog page. For today, I'm listing my favorites from other artists...it's not a comprehensive list and I plan to come up with more later on...
Well, here's the list...for this one I stuck to acts (I like) with origins going back to the 1960s or earlier. How many of these songs do you recognize?
