Title: Nostalgia Machine
Post by: JuST Peter on March 10, 2015, 04:56:25 PM

One of the best websites I've seen.
Set at 1960 but you can change the year to view
YouTube clips of the hits of that particular year.
 
If you start a clip and don't want to watch it to the end
you need to pause it to move to another
video.
 
You can enlarge each video to full screen but you need to
press the ‘ escape’ button to go back to the main menu screen.
 
Enjoy.

I typed in 1970. found "the house of the rising sun" and found my music buff daughter couldn't pick the group singing, frijid pink - I hadn't heard of them either, but it's a good version  :thumb

Wow.
That 1960 to 69 collection just about sums up the selection on my GPS' music folder.    :grin
Excellent presentation. 
Amazing how many one hit wonders there have been down through the years.

3 Credence hits in '69 is where I'd start from. Quite a few other artists before that I have on CD/PC but rarely listen to.

Very popular stuff. What about The Stooges, MC5 and other alternative stuff (all 1969, predated punk and other heavy stuff by years)?  When I first came across these in 1977 I realised that I had a sheltered music upbringing in the country, perhaps one radio in the house and a local music station had something to do with it.
