I know that it's sacrilegious to some people, but I never liked the Beatles! In my opinion the end of good ol' Rock'n Roll music.
The Beatles, The Dave Clark Five, The Rolling Stones, Herman's Hermits.....Yuck!
At that time a lot of people turned away from popular music and found an alternative. Some turned to Country Music....that's why it's so popular today. I know it was popular then, but this is when it really took off. Others, like myself, turned to Folk Music. I spent a lot of time listening to the music of Peter, Paul and Mary, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, The Brothers Four, The Chad Mitchell trio. I still have those albums. Most of these artist's I have several of their albums. One item of interest, on the last album, the Chad Mitchell Trio album, John Denver was a member late in their career and early in his. Some of the other people I listened to, and have albums by, are Gordon Lightfoot, Gale Garnett, Judy Collins, Joe and Eddie, Dave Von Ronk. I doubt any of my albums are worth any money, most are pretty worn, but I'm still hanging on to them. If you want to listen to a good Folk Album, played on the 'Record Player', come on over.

Those are some great albums there, BB.
Riding the MTA (Kingston Trio), Blowin' In the Wind (PP&M - saw them in concert), Sloop John B (Kingston Trio), A Rollin' Stone (?) (Bob Dylan), Long Black Veil (Joan Baez)
Hadn't thought of those in a long time. I need to get that music back on - it really was great!
