@Lawdie peak hard soul era

ktt2.com/best-songs-of-every-year-taking-votes-for-56-80474/41

The Animals at least

ye its one of the contenders for #1 of the year for me

p. decent

Hes been in my top 20 for each year with both bangers and ballads since 1958 can't think of anyone else pulling that off then

I'm late but just wanted to add this

the paris concerts are as essential to mention as everything else

Del Shannon still going strong

i respect you guys for having the attention span to be able to go on a year by year basis

great year. this when the stones started out, so you know i had to be here

great chunes all round

also cannot forgot the witch

jackson c frank, grant green and some byrds for nxt yeat. perfect

Gene Clark era Byrds god level

Dang Me just found out about that one on Ken Burns Country documentary a while ago

Norma on there too

big country fan?

absolutely. i’m from the southern us, it’s like a law that you have to love country

we needed some country vets in here

im from way up north and its pretty country up here but i avoided everything but a few of the biggest icons till recently

thoughts on Bobby Bare? just got into him for 1963 and have already listened to 500 Miles From Home fifty times lol

bobby's amazing. great songwriter and the discogs pretty consistent. if you haven't already check out lullabys, streets of baltimore and cowboys and daddies

im gonna check them out as i go through the years with this thread also underway with Merle, Waylon, George, Loretta and Cash. Any other supreme goats worth a full dive?

P4k told me Streets of Baltimore was the beginning of the Outlaw movement concur?

speaking of The Stones, they were writing their own classic ballads right off the bat

kinda, the sound evolved from it.

others, well don gibson, freddy fender with some tejano splash, willie nelson ofc, johnny horton, some johnny paycheck for some more outlaw country
