13 Songs From The 60s You Forgot Were Awesome 

Fun fact: The organ solo in House of the Rising Sun had to be shortened in order for the song to be played on the radio. Years later, the same thing happened with the Doors Light My Fire

No way these are forgotten songs….

I enjoyed the snippets of the songs - maybe not forgotten, but always nice to remember. So thank you. However, I stopped watching due to the puzzling and intrusive honkytonk piano background music. Not really conducive to the soulful, psychedelic sixties :)

What I find most bemusing is the fact Megadeth is not pronounced MEga-deth, as it is supposed to be, but M'GAH-deth... 🤨

I don't know what Planet you're from but I remember ALL of these songs! These were all Top 10 or Top 20 Hits. I already have these songs in my Offline Collection.

Yeah played all the time on sirius xm

Hear, hear!

I hear them frequently on Accuradio.

Agreed, however, maybe America Retract only listens to traditional over-the-air radio and sadly these songs have disappeared from the radio dial. (Compared to when Gen X and Boomers grew up).

The headline is pure click bait. These are all rightly regarded as classics.

I grew up in the 60s and I forgot about most these songs. I was too busy listening to the Tijuana Brass.

@@glennso47 What do you know, that makes 2 people in this thread who forgot about songs they grew up with. I guess that makes me special.

never forgot them EITHER @@glennso47

@@glennso47 my condolences ...

I stopped watching after the first three. Hilarious. Can certainly name scores of awesome '60s songs that people "forgot," but certainly none by the gigantic, massively successful artists on this list.

I'm 72... I agree with you!!

Hey going on 76 dude, I I like your style youngen'

To forget something you'd have to have heard it first ...as you say...so...the title is misleading, unless of those who never heard the songs, watched this vid, forgot all about the vid, and came back to watch it again and said "Geez, i forgot all about these". Ok, so now I'm just being difficult.

Right !!

Even young people know these boots are made for walking.

@@spankynater4242 Never heard it.

I remember some of them, but I guess I never really liked a lot of this music.

So, you lived through the 60's twice. Congratulations!

Liked a lot of the girl groups and solo artists liked Nancy but her “talent” was questionable. W /O Frank Little Nancy probably wouldn’t have made it.

@@robertcialone6609 Doesn't matter...songs are great

I'm always amused when I see kids today listening to songs that were hits 50-60 years ago. When we were kids, we were not listening to music from the 1910s and 1920s!

Thanks @budlistar5312. Can relate to what you say. i’m a bit older than you, but not by much. We listened to the same songs back in the day. I’m thinking the Narrator’s “voice” is AI. It pronounces too many words wrong, like “pursuit.” Per Soo It. ??

WHO COULD RUSTY

Correction; what they CALL music today.

That's what the 60yr Olds said about our music.

Absolutely ❤

I remember lining up at the music store it with my allowance in hand on the morning of the first day many of these albums went on sale - you had a choice of mono or stereo sound - brilliant either way, but luckier if you had an actual stereo machine

Remember though, to millennials and Gen Z, The Beatles are like Tennessee Ernie Ford was to us. Something their parents mention. I'm sorry for them. The music pundits now call the years around 1967 the best gold mine of music of all time.

Ive got a story about each one that I wont bore you with, because each of you have one of you own.

Absolut, I'm 50 - and know them all very well.

SO RIGHT MS CATHERINE....FORGOT THEY WHERE "AWSOME" CAUSE YOU WERE ON ANOTHER PLANET,,,STAY WELL

@@thomasfisher5742 Don't use all caps. Your statement just seem moronic when ignoring standard internet manners. You aren't more important than others.

Corporate Radio playlists are the ones TRYING to get us to forget these songs, rewrite history, make these songs disappear based on demographic studies and use an ever changing list and definition of what is "Classic Rock." And turn America into what it is already but even more so...a nation full of musical ignoramuses of narrow musical taste....thanks for fighting that with this you tube post. From a retired music teacher.

Not a person

The more I listen to videos on this channel, the more obvious that becomes. Feh.@@Katherine-rq8mk

Chat GPT?

@@kb7clx Didn't you notice the strange pronunciation? It's a robot talking to you.

None of us who were alive at the time forgot them.

Shoot. I was in elementary school then and remember these songs 😂😂

Even if you weren't quite a teen back in the '60s you can, and very often do, remember them.

Yup

He didn’t want to pay up, hence the 5 second snippets…😢😢😢

Tell me!!

Rats!! I quit watching after your comment… I want to hear the songs

The rag time piano audio track is awful. Otherwise, song selection is OK, though not really forgotten.

Late,but that's what I tell folks. I might have lost my mind,but I haven't lost my memory.

I was 16 then, it's still my favourite song ever.

​@lizboo2867 I was 17, and Brian Wilson was a genius; 12:53 Pet Sounds was his masterpiece. Brian had been inspired by The Beatles' Rubber Soul and in turn, Pet Sounds pushed The Beatles toward their masterpiece Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

@@charlesbireland1780 totally agree, brilliant music.

Shangrala is forgotten for sure---- by the kinks 🎯💯🥴

Bob Dyla's angry love letter to his ex-girlfriend Edie Sedgewick who dumped him and went off to be part of Andy Warhol's entourage. Andy Warhol drained her of her wealth.

Gebe dir recht!!

Maybe they're not aiming that at you...?

NO

but we who were there remember every single one, word for word. That has to count for something...

@LazloMortimor I know many songs from the 1940’s, and I was born in 1966.

@@loreleigoldman2460 im your age and the music i listened to in the 80s was 50-70s music but today's young people dont know or care about music from the past, i met a girl in her early 30s whod never heard of van halen, she was a wild druggie type too.

The sheer number of songs released boggles the mind. All it took, was to cut a demo, make 50 copies, and drive around to the local radio stations and get a DJ to play it on the air during the evenings when kids were listening. Then wait and see what happens. No 'video' needed to release a song, like later after the MTV generation came about. By the 1990's, there were sometimes only 13 songs to reach #1 FOR A WHOLE YEAR. This doesn't mean those songs were so great, just that there simply weren't many good songs being released.

Not everyone knows it.

@@jeffthevideoguy23 You should also tell these people Paul McCartney was in a band before he was in Wings, too.

​@@zaq55he was??? You're kidding lol!!

@@mrJimCharles Some people might not even have heard of Wings

You mean the Quarrymen, right?@@zaq55

Many don't know them, because some people aren't exposed to them. When my 20-year-old nephew came to live with me (in 2008), he had never heard of Stairway to Heaven. He had heard of Led Zeppelin but couldn't name a single song of theirs.But he knew all of the pop muisic coming out at the time. I tried to educate him on some of the better Classic Rock & pop from the 60s through the 80s, but sadly, he wasn't too interested.

@@screwyootube1 Sure, I understand that. But I consider “never heard” to be different than “forgotten.” I thought this video was going to dig deep and find some good old songs that faded away over the decades - including from airplay on oldies stations and classic rock stations. This could include songs that fans liked from the albums, but that for whatever reason never were big hits as singles (or maybe never even released as singles). I think we all can think of those kinds of songs. South City Midnight Lady from the Doobie Brothers pops into my mind as a song that I think could fit into this category. I’d be interested in a video like that, because I’ll admit I have a pretty shallow knowledge of music myself, mostly just knowing the biggest hits.

Rolled slums???

W. Zeven was great !! Saw him in Bochum....(zevon)

@@jurgenwille135 👍

👍

Exactly!

Don't forget Waterloo Sunset, All Day and All the Night, Dead End Street, You Really Got Me, Father Christmas, Celluloid Heroes, etc...

The ‘doctors’ too
