2. Phil Ochs' take on the wonderful madness of the late sixties.
3. Recently discovered a lovely cover of this song by a group called Sylkie.
4. From the terrific soundtrack to "Valley Girl."
5. "Another year for me and you/Another year with nothin' to do.."
6. Love this song. I also have a great cover by Killdozer.
7. Funny, I was singing Ben E. King's "Spanish Harlem" earlier today.
8. Downloaded this one after hearing in "The Family Stone." It's in the bar scene.
9. Love the original and this inspired cover, which of course included Aerosmith playing along.
10. I'm working on a list of my top favorite "Un-PC songs" for this blog. I think this one's going on the list.

Good ones. Hard to beat "1969" ;->
I was just jamming out to The Plimsouls this evening. I do prefer those Josie Cotton songs though!
Kajagoogoo was/were a two-hit wonder. I count lead singer Limahl, who had a hit for a while with the "Neverending Story" theme song.
I love every song on the list this week.
good call, dMarks...Lihmal!
The Silkie version of "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" was a big hit in the summer of '65 on WLS...check out http://www.users.uswest.net/~oldiesloon/wls101565.htm
first hit the Top 40 during the week of Oct. 15, 1965 an made it up to #15.
This is a great website, having all the Silver Dollar Surveys from 1960 thru 1982! Check out the variety of music we listened to in the 60s...the kids today are so deprived!
