Cool. Keep me in the loop.

[Alberta's Child]

Count me in! This was a lot of fun last time. The 60s are a bit far back for me, but I do have some favorites from that era!

Thank you. Count me in!

[Bullish]

Nahh, hell I’d just quit if somebody mentioned “in a gadda da vida”.

[bigbob]

The 60s on 6 chsnnel on SiriusXM just did a new years vote for the top 600 and then played them in sequence. It will be interesting to see hoe they compare.

Me me me me me!!!!!

[Kipp]

Please count me in.

[Clint N. Suhks]

I shouldn’t play because I’d win too easily.

hehehe...

[G Larry]

I’m in!

[dfwgator]

I would recommend two lists. One of the obvious major songs that were huge hits (”Hey Jude”, “Runaway”, “Good Vibrations”) and one for great songs that weren’t big sellers and didn’t get a lot of airplay.

Basically exclude any Beatles songs. That would probably make it a bit more interesting.

Oh I just heard the 50s doing top 500. Must be same principle on all the stations.

[Dr. Sivana]

Now, is it going to be ‘60s music, including Country, Adult Contemporary (e.g. Rat Pack, Dionne Warwick), pop, and rock and roll? Or is it limited to pop/Rock and Roll?

[the OlLine Rebel]

Pop. Which means popular.

Which means anything. Back then, the lists were much more eclectic than since the ‘60s. With some brief exceptions.
