I get surprisingly nostalgic for the 60s some days, and it has been one of those this evening! Admittedly, I have also been painting the house without the windows open, so it's probably even more enjoyable this way This one could also feature in the "cover versions that you prefer to the originals" thread! How many before this becomes spam?

You can post these as much as you like Drakey. In fact, I'll post a couple I've been listening to earlier today.
Gene.

Some great stuff from the 60s there. I can just remember some 60s stuff from the time, the earliest song I remember liking was probably Downtown by Petula Clark, I would have been about 5 then!
some others I remember liking were Excerpt from a teenage opera by Keith West and Matthew and Son by Cat Stevens

And what a crap place to work Matthew and son would be, a five minute break, for a cup of cold coffee and a piece of cake!

I wholeheartedly agree with both of you!
I was listening to a playlist I've made on the way to work which starts in 1962 and ends in the modern day and there's a song or two for every year. Sometimes I play it forwards, sometimes backwards, depending on whether I want to travel forwards or backwards in time

Yes I’ve got a playlist, or rather lists. They are sort of in years, starts with 60s, then early 70s (70-mid 75) then gets individual, late 75, then individual ones for 76-80 (bloody great long lists for these years - see also retro charts thread in the music section!) then 81-4, followed by late 80s/early 90s (slim pickings for that period) then late 90s (getting better) and early 2000s, finally 2005 to date

I love the way that it changes slightly per track so you almost don't notice it happening - whereas if you were to pick a track from the 60s and immediately one from the 80s you'd think they were from different planets. Yes I must stress that there certainly isn't a track a year after the 80s in mine - probably a couple a decade.

Another classic I've just had on in the Quattro.
And this one....
