When it all comes down to it, the 60's are absolutely my favorite decade for modern pop and everything music. Except for the occasional stale stuff, everything was so original. There were no boundaries, the 50's were escaped, and absolutely nothing was defined.
The claws of business would keep trying to entrench, but for a brief, shining, moment... they didn't know what the ***** to do, and the music was all over the place.
I took an uber ride to the airport recently and Modest Mouse's 'Dashboard' came on. Ryan said it was a great classic, and I said... classic? ***** I remember when it was brand new...
Point being, nothing is a classic- it all dropped for the first time at some point. I love to imagine how a song sounded as a listener the moment that needle first hit the vinyl on the radio station... when nothing like it had ever been discovered before. The 60's are just amazing for that, like no other decade.
Looking forward to your finest psychedelic Kenny Rogers memories, pale rabbits, soundtracks and maybe a Perry Como gem.
Cheers
