Top 100 Songs of the 1960s, #60 - 51

Van Morrison!

After this post we're halfway through our 60s countdown! Let's look at ten songs that just missed out on making the top 50 songs of the 1960s. You know they're going to be pretty gosh darn awesome. 'Gosh darn' was essentially the f-bomb in the 60s, right?

#60 - You Can't Hurry Love (1966)

by The Supremes

The Supremes 7th #1 song in America and their second single to make an impact on our countdown. 'You Can't Hurry Love' perfectly sums up the sound of Motown; powerful vocals and catchy hooks delivered by not acts that were more than just the best in rhythm and blues. They were the best in music... period.

#59 - Unchained Melody (1965)

by The Righteous Brothers

You're already thinking, "OMG, it's because of Ghost, right?" WRONG. So very, very wrong. Ghost sucked and you know it. 

Top 100 Songs of the 1960s, #80 - 71



The Temptations: Music that makes you think of kids dying from bee stings.


Oh, hey groovers... totally didn't see you there. Far out. Before I get too spacey, let's check out the next ten songs on our 60s countdown!

#80 - People Get Ready (1965)

by The Impressions

Easy-listening music promoting positive social change. It should be enough to make you sick, but The Impressions deliver the lyrics with such sincerity you can't help but love it. 

#79 - Happy Together (1967)

by The Turtles

That video is just too much. Don't you feel like you're watching some ridiculous montage in a Will Ferrell movie?
