I can't believe I forgot the Rolling Stones and The Who

I was hesitant to list the Stones, only because I'm more of a fan of their 70's output moreso than their 60's stuff. Same deal with the Who.

Ditto. Same reason I didn't include Bowie or Alice Cooper

I love some of the Stone's 60's stuff like " Begger's Banquet" " Aftermath" to just name two, I agree with the Who prefer the 70's releases than the 60's, also should add the Kinks but I like their 70's and 80's material over the 60's material but they had some solid albums released in thr 60's also.

There were bands in the 1960s?

Nah, but seriously folks, I dig the Doors on occasion, as well as some of the latter period Beatles stuff (when they were dropping all kinds of acid and hanging with the Maharishi Yoga and so forth)... and would Creedence Clearwater Revival be a 60s band or were they 70s? I heard a lotta C.C.R. growing up, my Mom is a big fan so she was constantly playing their records.

CCR is 60s. Good call.

I've had that one going thru my head ever since I heard it in "Twilight Zone: The Movie" one night last week.

I frequently get Down On The Corner or Lookin' Out My Back Door stuck in my head.

Ever hear the Leatherwolf cover of Bad Moon Rising or the Hanoi Rocks version of Up Around The Bend?

Dang, forgot about CCR.

I heard the HR version first and at the time I didn't even know it was a cover. I used to think CCR was too "countrified". I've only appreciated them in my old age.

CCR
Cream
Hendrix
