Try Oldies Lyrics. This list isn't exactly the same for 1967, so they didn't use the same source, but at least you can play.

ELECTRIC PRUNES?!?!

Were they psychedelic vegetarins or constipated octagenarians?

I guess this would be followed up in the following year by "Classical Gas", which is #43 in 1968.

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

Scary name innit?

Late 60's Recording Artists

[wholeinmysoul.livejournal.com]

At this time the Psychedelic 60's were in full swing and actually starting to wind down. During this Hippy Trippy period names like this were rather common, though these groups were usually One Hit Wonders. Other such names that I can recall (I was pretty impaired at the time) are the Peanut Butter Conspiracy, Blues Magoos, Electric Flag, Moby Grape, Ultimate Spinach....... and many more I can't recall. I think I even still have some of these albums packed away somewhere. (Got a Bong, anyone?)

[silent-druid.livejournal.com]

1982 cant transfer bold over, so here are the ones i picked:


2. Eye Of The Tiger, Survivor
9. Abracadabra, Steve Miller Band
11. Tainted Love, Soft Cell - This is my underlined one!
12. Chariots Of Fire, Vangelis
19. Waiting For A Girl Like You, Foreigner
79. Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic, Police

Frightening.

My favorite, then and now: Major Tom.

How 'bout you? Any song that you just LOVED?

Re: As compared to say 1984

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

1984 was an *excellent* year!

[richneps.livejournal.com]

Tin will slay me for this but I really like Madonna. Any of her songs I love.
But Billy Squier was awesome, Duran Duran, Quiet Riot, Whitesnake (even thought they are not on the list) my fav band Pink Floyd.
But on this list I would say Lucky Star and Somebody's watchin me....Yep I am an 80's junkie....

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

Actually, I love Madonna. I didn't get into that whole Boy Toy thing but, when she came out with "Express Yourself," I was totally hooked.

The 80s ROCK...as do the 70s.

So you won't die...today.

[onyxblue1.livejournal.com]

"Ring of Fire" might well be my favorite Johnny Cash song.

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

Do you know that, at one time in the not-so-distant past, advertisers were keen on using Johnny's song for a hemorrhoid product?

[ealdthryth.livejournal.com]

Poo! I doesn't have my year.

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

Crapola...I'm sorry!

[ealdthryth.livejournal.com]

Not to worry. I found a list on another website, so I could still play!

[falkenna.livejournal.com]

OMG, how small the window of good music was! The 1963 list was crap, the 1971 list was crap, but your list, Tin -- wow, how could you not bold some of those wonderful amazing tunes?

And -- the Blues Magoos and Electric Prunes totally rocked, while Electric Flag was a cognoscenti-loved cult blues band whose Greatest Hits I picked up cheaply just a couple of years ago. (Although these Hits seemed to come from some unknown later soul period, and was mostly crap.)

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

There's a lot of them I don't know. Sad, innit?

[(Anonymous)]

Tragic. Here's just the ones that are well cool - there were more I would have bolded (I suspect you may be sick of hearing a couple that you didn't bold):

[falkenna.livejournal.com]

And as for my list, Geez, I now understand why your site doesn't even bother with them. I knew it was gonna be bad, but hey. Of the top 30 in the Oldies Lyrics site, far and away the best song, with no competition, is "Come On a My House" by Rosemary Clooney! (Who was George's aunt, by the way.)
