That seems a little "knives out, blood libel" for a barmy song discussion post.

Best 60s Who song is “I Can See For Miles”.

written like somebody who wasn’t even alive in the 60’s...

I’d put “Hey Jude” above “A Day In The Life”.

Almost anything by Bob Dylan or Joan Baez.

Just goes to show, you can't please everyone.

So you gotta please yourself.

First time I heard it was on a good stereo using headphones. Listened to the whole album nonstop. Last song being day in a life. Stunning experience.

I grew up in 60s with The Beatles - always THE best group ever.

That said, I once read their most prolific period began with the iconic opening chord of AHDN (UK) album and ending with the even more iconic closing chord of Pepper album.

I grew up im the 50s and 60s. Don’t know where this lost came from, but only a few of them were really great, many I never heard of and more thsn a few really s***ked.

[lee martell]

That’s a good one too. (Miles). I think The Who did it.

When John Lennon was murdered in NYC writer Pete Hamill wrote a piece on it and the aftermath. He managed to get into the morgue where Lennons body was as a writer/reporter. He wrote there on a slab lay the 1960s. One of the most haunting lines I’ve ever read. It might be an exaggeration but not by much.

If “Purple People Eater” isn’t on the list then it’s not complete.....oh wait that was ‘58... carry on...
