    I was 14 in 1967 I was spoiled in those days cause just about every other day a great new song would be played on the radio. I feel sorry for today's youth, today's music stinks.

      I totally agree. Mom and I had that conversation the other day as we were talking plans of when we go see Toto and Journey and then I said about if I was born in the 70's and went through my teens in the 80's that I'd be smack dab in the best era of music and I'm sure I'd still hear the great songs of the 50's and 60's too. To me as a 32 year old the music that is out there now sucks! The 90's-early 2010's weren't too bad, but now its like what happened?

      You will miss it terribly????? I'm 70, and I know any day could be my last, so I figure, what's the point of worrying. I try to enjoy every day, and not let anything bother me. I don't go to the doctor anymore, since I lost my sweetie 10 yrs ago to cancer, what's the point? Be told I have a life ending disease, so spend the rest of whatever time I have left, worrying, when right now I chalk it up to getting old.

      I know, mija. But sit somewhere quietly. Close your eyes, and play all that great music that you loved. See yourself young, healthy, and happy. It will refresh your mind. Try to remember just the good for a few minutes. Count your blessings then. And as difficult as it seems sometimes, count your blessings today. God really does love you. ❤ I wish you well.

    I thought that I would play this video to relive the music that was being played when in June of that year I met my husband. We were both 16 and were married in 1971. We celebrated 50 years of marriage last August. It's true, just listening to this music has made me feel young as I am now 71!

      I don't know. Some of these original tracks are pretty harsh and not all that good once you take off your rose colored glasses (or earphones). Most would never make it today - not necessarily because of the artists, but because the expectations of the audience. Remember, "Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road" was a top 10 hit in 1972.

    “To Sir with Love”. First movie date with my future husband. His Dad drove us. We were 16. Now 54 years later, we’ve been married for 46 years and have 2 beautiful daughters, and 2 beautiful granddaughters. I really really miss those days. We weren’t perfect, and the times weren’t perfect, but life was simpler and love meant a lot. Music is a big big part of emotional memories and so important to share with elderly loved ones.

      Some 50’s but 60’s and then 70’s where amazing. The eclectic aspect is certainly missed. The 80’s began the decline for sure. It’s never recovered. Obviously some great songs scattered through the years, but really too manufactured and way too sleazy. Just after this came Carol King, James Taylor, Eagles, Creedence Clearwater, Don McLean, more Soul the Beatles where still being played for 20yrs the Stones kept going… just off the top of my head without seriously composing a list….. Mammas and Poppas, Neil Diamond, Carpenters, Bread, Chicago, John Denver… it’s an enormous list of creative genius and talent…My adult sons all listen to the best from those eras and virtually nothing from 90’s onwards. So it’s not just what you heard in your formative years, there is a difference between eras.

    By ‘67 music in America was absolutely incredible. I recall hearing all these songs non-stop on the radio as they were first released. Nearly every genre anyone might imagine all in the top 40 all at the same time. It was simply incredible and kept getting better and better year after year until the 80s when MTV took over. At the same time all this was unfolding hi-fidelity, stereo, stereo on FM, and multi-track recording were all coming together. It seemed like everyday brought some kind of amazing breakthrough that helped make music sound even better and great music sound greater. Amazing times!!

      @cosmo1eleven855 5 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      Yes the whole decade of the 60's was indeed exceptional. I don't know the criteria by which this person chose these songs. Because although they were waaay ahead of their times with their landmark 1967 album Days of Future Passed, the Moody Blues did release two songs off that album which were important. Nights in White Satin and Tuesday Afternoon. Those tunes got heavy airplay on the FM stations that were exploding at that time. But It wasn't until 1972 that those two songs were released to AM stations and the masses became aware of them. Again, they were ahead of their times. But too often they get ignored or overlooked for their great contributions of the 60's, 70's and into the 80's they were still producing hits. Just had to get that off my chest.

I am German and he was American visiting Berlin where i lived . We experienced a trilling moment in time it was never duplicated ! I received 2 letters from him(i still have them) asking me to come to America , but i could not go at that time . So needless to say we went on with our life's me in Berlin and he in NY , we never saw each other again . Many years later i married an American and immigrated to America . Sad to say we got divorced after 7 years . Then i started to search for my handsome stranger i could never forget . I found his Legacy /Obituary in 2018 and i was in shock he died suddenly of a fatal cardiac arrest alone he also was divorced . There was a phone # on his Obituary that led me to his wife . I called her and told her who i was and she was very gracious to me and we actually became friends . She also introduced me to their handsome grown son and after telling him my story he welcomed me into the family . I was overwhelmed i never thought in my wildest dream something like this could happen , i deem it a miracle ! His Son also told me that his father shared with him before he died our love story and he said that he could never forget this beautiful German Lady it was the happiest time of his life he spent with her (me). Take care and God bless you !

    There will never be another era in music as explosively creative and innovative as the 60s decade it had good solid sounds for every genre. My favorite was from around 66-70. That late 60s era had more talent and more deep meaning to the music that sadly will never be repeated again. They say time marches on and styles and music changes,for the better?? I certainly think not!! Music today is as dead as Janis,Jimi,Jim but can't hold a flicker of a candle to their brilliance! Rock is truly dead today,thank goodness we have our old tapes and records and now youtube to take us back to a much better time and place where skill and talent along with unbridled creativity reigned supreme! Damn I miss it so!!!!

      I agree. In the USA, the 60s began with President Kennedy, and with it a new hope and vision for a better Earth. But sadly his death, shed the cloak of the 50's and there then arose a culture ready to challenge and face the real world, unveiling the myths of cultural expectations (as depicted on TV). The explosion you speak of, begotten of a shared consciousness, unlike that never known before.
      We were part of it. For once it seemed, that what we believed mattered, and the world would yield to our expectations of it. This was our time. Let it not be ever forgotten.

    I was 17 and a Junior in high school. 1967 was the best year in my life. I went into the USMC in 1968 and volunteered for the Nam in 1969. Danny was a risk taker and wanted to follow my dad like in WW2. I got what i came after in the Nam in 1969. It was intense all the time and i rock and rolled with the firepower of the USMC.
