Top 100 Songs of the 1960s, #70 - 61



The Doors!

The Beatles vs. The Rolling Stones, the King of rock and roll, the first lady of soul and double the Jim Morrison. Is that enough to get you excited for the next ten songs in our 60s countdown? Yeah, I thought so.


#70 - Can't Help Falling In Love (1961)
by Elvis Presley




Yes, I also like UB40's cover. What of it? 


#69 - Ruby Tuesday (1967)
by The Rolling Stones




Who do you prefer, The Beatles or The Rolling Stones? That questions was to the 60s as 'Britney or Christina' was to the early 2000s and... um... 'Nicki Minaj or Lil' Kim' is to today. Of course, in each of these face-off's one of the acts is insanely popular while the other is their slightly less successful, trashier big sister. Try to guess who falls into each category. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Anyway, enjoy 'Ruby Tuesday.'

Top 100 Songs of the 1960s, #90 - 81


James Brown!


#90 - Bad Moon Rising (1969)
by Creedence Clearwater Revival




Pub rock standard, road-trip necessity... classic rock and roll. I'm not a big Creedence fan, but how could you say no to a song this catchy?


#89 - Son of A Preacher Man (1968)
by Dusty Springfield




Springfield's silky smooth vocal stylings ensure that this definitive recording of 'Son of A Preacher Man' is actually a song you want to listen to. Unlike pretty much any other version of the song.

Top 100 Songs of the 1970s, #70 - 61



David Bowie: No longer the 'Space Oddity.'

After a long day at work there's nothing like sitting back and getting your chill on to some great music. Listening to the next ten songs has definitely left me feeling more relaxed! Hopefully you'll feel the same. The Top 100 Songs of the 1970s countdown continues now... enjoy!


#70 - Rhiannon (1976)
by Fleetwood Mac




Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?


Fleetwood Mac are the bomb. They define the classic tagline, 'Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll.' Their story puts Days of Our Lives to shame with all the fights, affairs and longing stares into the distance to end a scene. What separates them from the mass amount of rock stars that fade away is the quality of their music, which really is some of the best of all time. 'Rhiannon' marks their first appearance on the countdown and I can tell you what you already know... there's going to be a lot more.
