  1. I always think that the best music of the 60’s was from ‘66-‘69…unfortunately, I think I will be dead before you get around to doing the charts for those years 😢, regards, Jay

      Cheers

    2. I just love the music recorded prior to the British invasion. Do not get me wrong, there was more great music from that era also. Personally, and even though a portion of the music during the rock and roll era was music first written and recorded back in the 30's and 40's ( think "Blue Moon" for starters ) I do have wholeheartedly agree with freebie 6969 -- I want the stuff from '66!!!!
