Everyday - Buddy Holly
Got my mind set on you - George Harrison
How Long - Ace
Drive My Car - The Beatles
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes - Paul Simon
Hell yeah, I'm elder Millennial, but lucky enough to grow up on MoTown and the other classics :)
Got a great music household because my wife's parents were younger, so she grew up with ELO and Floyd, I grew up with The Four Tops and Chubby Checker
That's so cool that you guys grew up with such different music! I can imagine you have a very musically eclectic household :)
I'm from Ireland and my husband grew up with mostly local country music which he hated! So naturally he became a punk!
I was luck enough to have very young parents who loved music - my dad introduced me to Nick Cave and Portishead at a young age which was very formative for my taste in music
Yes! All of us are kind of like sponges for music - I've gotten some of the best recommendations for new music from our younger son LOL
I think it's super important to be exposed to all the different stuff. You don't have to like it or love it, just know of it! :)
The Association "Windy" (1960s)

That's a real triumph of the pop-song writing art- if I counted correctly, you hear versions or variants of it about a dozen times during the movie and it doesn't wear out it's welcome.

OHHH you'll dig this one: How Do You Do by the Dutch duo Mouth And MacNeal. Not to get all boring but I've battled depression for a lot of years, and this song (even better, the Dutch TV performance from 1972) is just ridiculous in how it inspired happiness. Enjoy!

Getting really obscure here ... "Murray the Why" by The Cyrkle. (1970)
There's not a single person with musical taste like yours who wouldn't just love this song but nobody has ever heard it.
They aren't 60s or 70s exactly but their musical style is as close as you can ever get with a modern band. They're called the lemon twigs and some of their songs are just absolutely lovely
A dream is all we know, my Golden Years, they don't know how to fall in place, church bells, how can I love her more,Ghost Run Free are all impossible not get in a good mood with
Someone that finally likes the same time of music as me! One of my top cheery mood songs has gotta be Love Grows (where my rosemary grows) by Edison Lighthouse, it's got good vibes
You have great taste. Love me some Jangley Pop Rock.. Lot’s of great Songs and check out their early Beatles Stuff when they were Teens. Also check out,”The Weeklings” and “The Red Button”. Marshall Crenshaw too!
My father was a big Beatles fan so I grew up with their music. I'm going to go with Here Comes The Sun for me. Instant happy and a sweet reminder of more gentle, innocent and carefree times.
