Know almost all 30 and still listen to most of them



I don’t think I would recognize five from last year

There is very little originality in music these days. In the 60s artists worked hard crafting their own music and sound.

We Boomers had the best of everything

I started to make some comparison between that and today's music, but why bother?

I haven't run the video but I know for a fact that Bobbie Gentry, pictured in its screenshot, put out the record that knocked the Beatles off the #1 LP spot. The LP was Sargent Pepper. She might have knocked off the single as well.

I don't think Capitol records was too concerned since they were both on their label.

Now I can't quote posts for some reason, but re 'No Beatles' is actually a great thing; they were just a glorified barbershop quartet.

Beatles was number 30

Modern Top 40 is formulaic but some of it is much better than the earlier crap, though it's nearly all aimed at the same market demographic it's alwasy been aimed at since the 1950's, 11 year year old girls. Whitney Houston and Adele and the like are far superior vocalists.

Amazing how many of those songs are still active in popular culture appearing in soundtracks and theme songs.
Most young people are very familiar with most of the songs on that list.

Beatles was number 30

And number 1 was "To Sir With Love" so clearly there was some voter fraud goin' on.

Not sure how they were ranked

I suspect it was on record sales rather than which were the best songs.

You are most likely correct.

Don't get me wrong I had a mad crush on Marie MacDonald McLaughlin Lawrie, but that one doesn't even play well with others.
