I’m in, but would have a hard time just to get a list to 10 top tunes.
I graduated in 75

Sure, I’ll do it! :-)

[moovova]

...and, thank you for being the "Leader Of The Pack".

[BlueLancer]

Count me in as well ... the bigger the playlist the better!

[kosciusko51]

I’m in.

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

Good. I would suggest that we limit number of contributions from any one act to 1 or 2. In the case of the Beatles, who dominated the decade, to one pre and one post drugs (e.g. "I Wanna Hold Your Hand"/"Hey, Jude")

Please add me to the list...I love this stuff. Thanks for doing it.

Unfortunately I just stick to the BB hot 100 on the year, which means only the top 7 get considered as a way to pare down to the 64 needed for a good play-off bracket. Yes we could do something that covers all thousand songs, but that’s a bit long-winded!

So yes, e.g., there are 4 Beatles and 2 Beach Boys.

I’m too young also, much less running it. But I am eclectic and have always loved all kinds and eras of music. Hell I know lots of American Revolution tunes and marches!

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Thanks for the Ping!

Even though I was BORN in 1960, my Mom ALWAYS had music on in the house, so I pretty much know all of the popular music of that time! :)

LOL yes. Also my niece’s BD.

The best Beatles song of all time is The Girl That I Love which, for some reason, didn't reach Number One.

[jjotto]

I had older sisters who had Top 40s on nonstop from the early ‘60s.

Unfortunately, I have a somewhat freakish memory and remember the crap with the good!

1961 hits included Lawrence Welk, Patsy Cline, and Dave Brubek. Fragmentation of markets was still ahead.

[the OlLine Rebel]

You are appropriately FR named, I see.

[Tax-chick]

Well, okay, I’ll give it a try. It’s not like it’s a quiz ;-).
