  • YOU FORGOT THE WHO!!!!! WHAT A SHAME...

  • @heartofgoldmary I did not forget them. I just didn't have room for them. There are so many great songs from the 60s, and using just two songs per year, it is impossible to fit everyone in there. The obvious choice for the Who would be My Generation from 1965, but that would mean leaving out the Satisfaction or Like a RS. My Generation was a killer track, but I felt that those songs by Bob Dylan and the Stones were slightly more significant, and even more people would complain if I left them off

  • you wouldn't mind putting the entire list in the description like last time, would you?

  • @XZYOE I tried, but Youtube gives you a limit on how many words can fit in the video description, and the list was too long. If you'd like, I can put sections of the list with each video.

  • Hey Jude and I Wanna Hold Your Hand ?!

    That's all?

    What about Sgt Pepper, that one was fucking monumental, it changed people's perception of rock music!!

  • @SalmonelaKid I'm a huge Beatles fan and I had a really hard time leaving Sgt. Pepper off this video, particularly A Day in the Life. I went with two songs per year and 1967 was probably the toughest year to narrow it down to two. Respect is one of those all time great soul anthems and I really really didn't wan't to completely exclude Jimi Hendrix. I already had two Beatles songs so I decided to leave Day in the Life off at the last minute.

  • wow some songs here are a lot older than i imagined. i guess that tells me something about their immortality...

  • Great vídeo!

    Please the name is "Dire Straits" no "Dire Straights" ;)

  • 60s dongs were the best things happened to humans...

  • Elvis?

  • @heartofgoldmary I'm not sure The Who's My Generation really qualifies as the Best Song of the Century...

  • Being 14 has got some tolls. But I still no most of these songs.

  • Wow! What a tough choice to pick only 2 songs for each year! I have to say I like 'em all!

  • this is a great job!
