The Byrds, Simon and Garfunkel, The Mamas and the Papas, that stuff?
@Leucrotta I... have a pretty mixed relationship to the music of the '60s and '70s, honestly. On one hand, it had a big influence on what came after it, and provided the foundation for a wide variety of stuff we enjoy today that simply wouldn't exist without it, and I appreciate it for that.
... On the other hand, being subjected to that shit all the time by parents who basically don't listen to anything composed after '85, you can only tolerate actually listening to any more of it for so long.
@Thaminga okay indulge my curiosity please, I know Shocking Blue made it big here in the 60s, and they were from the Netherlands, did your folks listen to *them* a lot?
@Leucrotta Yes, but ironically not more than any other band in particular from the time? Don't get me wrong, they were popular here too and a bunch of their stuff is considered part of the classics here all the same, but not like... Beatles level popularity, y'know? Not any *more* popular than they were abroad, per se.
I wouldn't call "Turn Turn Turn", "The Boxer", "I am a Rock", and "California Dreamin'" a "feelgood" mix, but I'd still listen to it.
@xinjinmeng @Thaminga considering that my response to "Interstate Love Song," "Welcome to Paradise" and "Black Hole Sun" is "oh yeah feel-good tunes from a happier time"?
@Thaminga Cool! Perspective I didn't have. Thanks!
