A Sixties Playlist

[PapaJacques]

I recently put this together. It features mostly British artists. Its really more like two playlists running in chronological order. I've limited it to one song per artist, and I've not included anything by the Beatles, the Rolling Stones or Bob Dylan, as it would be too difficult to pick just one song by each. Sacrilege, I know. I didn't include anything by the Doors, either, seeing as the playlist is very British-centric and the Doors never had the same popularity in the UK as in the US. Anyway, here it is:

1: My Generation.******************* -The Who
