OMG Gawayne! The Cowsills, now there's a blast from the past! I actually had this 45. The flip side was Ship Of Fools, if I remember correctly.

Funny how some music (like Soul) live on for decades and others .... just date. These are soooooo dated! They were okay then, but not now!

Julia I think their charm is in that they ARE dated-they represent a time long gone. Soul (which I never could stand) is more timeless in that it doesn't
represent a certain era. My sister was a big soul fan in the 60's and 70's and we were always arguing as I was a folk and rock fan! I gained a strong
dislike for soul which has slightly abated now as I get older -but I still find it (paradoxically) rather soulless music! Anyway more of the dated stuff from
the UK this time:

I see your point, Wayne, and can't argue with that. 
I used to love the Zombies 'She's Not There'. The Small Faces were okay and the Move 'Flowers in the rain' was good too. Here's one I don't think has dated. I still like it after all these years. The Kinks - Waterloo Sunset |

I loved all these. I think the music that we loved when we were younger,had a lot to do with what we were doing at the time.
I loved Itchyco Park. Lazy Sunday afternoon. The kings. Always think of sunday afternoon sat around in the park,with lots of other people,playing the radio. The weather always seemed sunny. |

Great Mellow Yellow-quite rightly! Here's the last from me by Donovan before it becomes a Donovan thread! PS There's no hidden message-just a
joke by the guy who posted it - I think! ��

Also a good one!
I guess we have kind of 'Donovanized' the thread, eh?

I like the Jefferson Airplane and Buffalo Springfield but I much preferred Dylan to Donovan.
�My two Dylan faves which I still love after all these years - in fact they're on my Playlist. � � |

I agree. I have most of Dylans stuff. Loved him since i was a girl. Never knew you liked him Julia. Although i adored him. I wasn't into all the protest
stuff at such a young age.

I was never really a Dylan fan- I am the opposite, I preferred Donovan! I liked Dylans songs performed by others-but never really took to his voice-great
songwriter, but better when others did them! I like Buffalo Springfield though and Crosby Stills Nash (and Young ).� In some ways the Doors were the "bad boys" of the Flower Power period-but Jim Morrison was such an amazing character that I had to include this:
