16 Songs From The 1960s That Will Make You Pick Up Good Vibrations
Wikipedia

A lot of crazy stuff happened in the 1960s. Wars that should not have been, the assassination of major political figures, the fight for civil rights, and the Cuban missile crisis that could have started WWIII were just a few of the crazy happenings back then.

To say the least, it was a pretty conflicted decade.

But there were some positive notes. The 60s paved way for some of the most iconic muscle cars with the Mustang, Baracuda, Charger, and Camero hitting the road in those years. It’s when the hippy movement really took hold and spread across the world. And, of course, there is the great music we got from those years.

When I should have been studying during finals week, I instead alternated between doing nothing and compiling a list of old songs that I couldn’t get enough of.

Now I present to you 16 of the best songs from the 1960s. You can find the playlist on Spotify here!

1. "Hit The Road Jack" by Ray Charles, 1961.

2. "Green Onions" by Booker T & the MG's, 1962.

3. "Louie Louie" by The Kingsmen, 1963.

4. "Ring of Fire" by Johnny Cash, 1963.

5. "House of the Rising Sun" by The Animals, 1964.

6. "Sympathy for the Devil" by The Rolling Stones, 1964.

7. "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" by The Rolling Stones, 1965.

8. "Good Vibrations" by The Beach Boys, 1966.

9. "These Boots Are Made For Walking" by Nancy Sinatra, 1966.

10. "Ain’t No Mountain High Enough" by Marvin Gaye, 1967.

11. "I'm A Believer" by The Monkees, 1967.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
