The album also features Redding’s recording of the Sam & Dave hit Knock On Wood, which is also featured on this list. 84. Neil Diamond, Sweet Caroline This platinum-selling 1969 single was one of Neil Diamond’s biggest hits. Even if its demarcation of soft rock is a bit belittling, this sing-along has endured over the decades. Pickett’s version, which appeared on his 1966 album The Wicket Pickett is the most recognized, even getting adapted again in the early ‘90s in the music film The Commitments. Wilson Pickett - Mustang Sally 10/28/1994.

In the early 1960s, one of the most popular forms of rock and roll was Surf Rock, which was characterized by being nearly entirely instrumental and by heavy use of reverb on the guitars. The spring reverb featured in Fender amplifiers of the day, cranked to its maximum volume, produced a guitar tone shimmering with sustain and evoking surf and ocean imagery. Sales of records continued to rise as new artists and trends came to the forefront.

The Top 20 Billboard Hot 100 Hits of the 1960s. 10/27/2014 by Elias Leight. The '60s was the first full decade of rock and roll, and the top twenty singles of the decade reflect a battle between old and new forms. Elvis Presley and Ray Charles, who helped lay the foundation for the explosion of rock and soul in the '50s, each appear on the list; so does the smooth doo-wop of the Four Seasons. Louis Armstrong, the famous jazz musician who had been recording since the 1920s, had one of the biggest hit singles of the '60s. But the new era arrived quickly.

The 1960s came to be known as the decade for protest with the twin causes of the Vietnam War and the lack of civil rights for African Americans. Some of these songs became anthems and still resonate today. They were the inspiration in countless demonstrations and marches. I make no apologies for including three Dylan songs. They were also commercial hits for the artists involved. So, what makes a good protest song? Take a catchy melody, lyrics with a ring of truth, sincerity and passion, and the times will do the rest. 9. Blowin’ in the Wind. From the album, ‘The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan’. Bob Dylan’s most famous composition from 1963. This is a fine example of a song that can be applied to different situations as it is non-specific and not tied in to any particular conflict.

But so many top LPs from the 1960s continue to enthrall old and new listeners, and they're still re-discovered and re-assessed. This list is Pitchfork’s attempt to do just that. Ironically, the album’s two most famous tracks are a cover of Fred Neil’s Everybody’s Talkin’ and Nilsson’s own One, which the rock group Three Dog Night would turn into a major smash soon after. Both songs are the perfect encapsulations of Nilsson’s unusual yet direct approach to making music: embedding lyrical gut-punches into catchy folk-pop riffs and experimental production techniques.
