The 60s! A great decade in our history I'd say. Great musical decade too. I mean, you have all those great bands who were just a skiffle band before the 60s and grew into such big hits in the 60s onwards (The Who, The Beatles, Yes.... ) .

What made the 60s so great, i suppose, is that musicians were fresher. Like, the War was over, the conflicts in the 50s were over, wnad how long can one listen to songs about ones country, the army, all those patriotic nationalistic songs, and the typical love songs? Those rockers in the 60s sang of something different!

Keep em coming them songs, Mr K!

He`s a bit of a charmer isnt he .

Joni s song writing even in her early years still pulls my heart strings , she would go on to write
more personal songs and in my opinion one of the best albums ever recorded Blue .
Joni is another reason why the 60s was ,in my opinion the greatest decade in music .

Honey_Tree · by **Honey_Tree** on Wed Apr 16, 2008 12:56 am

She's brilliant Joni is. Love the Circle game - beautiful lyrics and amazing voice!

Here's Simon and Garfunkel, 1966, Sound of Silence

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaSFzp6IDgw[/youtube]

brings back memories, eh octie?

*sigh*

Octie · by **Octie** on Wed Apr 16, 2008 9:15 am

Brings back memories indeed... I'm surprised I still remember the words

Yeh, I Heard That was a good book (it had Hey Jude and Blowing in the Wind too

) But, imagine hearing this song when you're still learning English... that was quite hard, but I learned a whole lot of new words from it... cobalt stones!

Really sad song though, I thought back then. And I still do. But a really good one too

Honey_Tree · by **Honey_Tree** on Sun Apr 20, 2008 12:27 am

Sorry, but, umm... who is Grafunkel and who is Simon?

I saw them doing this song recently, they still got it!

Q. Who is the guitarist front left hand side ? [ not the one in the glasses ] :wink:

mr kite · by **mr kite** on Sat Jun 28, 2008 3:53 pm

No one got the question yet .

Heres a clue he played Woodstock with his new supergroup and he was appeared in HOOK movie as a pirate and is the farther of Melissa Etheridge and Julie Cypher s children .
Thats got you thinkin i bet :lol:

Heres Joni Mitchell song i have just found and its from a film i havnt seen for over 30 years and its the song that got me into Joni and i just had a shock of my life as i allways thought its was the Circle Game :oops:

Well , thats me wrong again! the song is Aging Children from the film Alices Resturaunt .
Still its a beautiful song and it still got me into Joni even though i got it wrong . :oops:

Aging Children

Honey_Tree · by **Honey_Tree** on Sun Jun 29, 2008 11:03 am

Its too late to listen to the music but I will soon!

The question - is that David Crosby? Here's something I found,

Roger McGuinn originated The Byrds' trademark 12 string guitar sound (which he in turn took from George Harrison on "A Hard Day's Night")

Honey_Tree · by **Honey_Tree** on Tue Jul 01, 2008 10:39 pm

Bloody hell! I love the 60s! Great music! Each one of those youtubes are excellent! Love Simon and Garfie!
Still need to get into Joni...
Say, how did you get the tubies to be in different colours?
