The 1960s had a lot of fuzzy, buzzy guitars at one point. A classic song that used the effect A LOT was “Too Much To Dream Last Night” by The Electric Prunes.
If I Wanted Someone by Dawes is reminiscent of the great music of the past of CSN and Neil Young and others, but freshly their own.
I keep finding awesome songs from the 1990s. Pete Droge’s “If You Don’t Love Me (I’ll Kill Myself)” is such a song from 1994.
Young man, old man, anybody should appreciate the lyrics of this Neil Young classic. “Old Man” is a song by a young man singing about how an old man used to be.
Keep Me Turning is a gem from the 1970s from Pete Townshend and Ronnie Lane. Not many know who Ronnie Lane was, but he was part of the very influential Small Faces and Faces in the 1960s and early 1970s.
The title track of Roxy Music’s “Avalon” album is a dreamy mellow favorite of mine. Sadly, this came from Roxy Music’s last studio album.
You Can Leave Your Hat On is a song you want to know. The Joe Cocker version is good. Randy Newman’s is better.
Is there a more passionate anti-war song performance than War by Edwin Starr?
That Tragic Kingdom album by No Doubt just kept churning out great singles. “Hey You” is definitely underrated and probably the least known by the US audience.
John Lydon, aka Johnny Rotten, came up with a great song in Rise as part of his Public Image, Ltd., project. Of course, it came a decade after the Pistols. I think Lydon blinks ONCE in this whole video.
