I can't just name one so I'll name a few

Have you ever seent he rain
Folsom Prison Blues (it's originally from the 50s but I just love the 60s live version)

There are many other songs that I love from the 60s but these are the ones that I absolutely love. I'm a huge fan of Johnny Cash and CCR as you can see here. I'm not a huge fan of the british invasion though. I like The Beatles but I'm not a huge fan of the others, very contreversial opinion I know.

Anyways, thanks for reading!

Yeah I must admit I like the Rolling Stones song Lady Jane although it isn't a typical Stones song but I like it.

Another song that I actually like a lot is the quirky Cream song Wrapping Paper there first single and also the follow up single to Wrapping Paper the cool sounding I Feel Free that seems to sound better every time I hear it and also there last single Badge as well.

From Taste (Rory Gallagher's old band) Blister On The Moon & Born On The Wrong Side Of Time.

From the Jimi Hendrix Experience- Hey Joe, Purple Haze, The Wind Cries Mary, Burning Of The Midnight Lamp, Gypsy Eyes & All Along The Watchtower.
