American Bandstand Top 10 - 20 Sep 1969

10: Hurt So Bad - Lettermen
09: Get Together - Youngbloods
08: Jean - Oliver
07: Sugar, Sugar - Archies
06: Lay Lady Lay - Bob Dylan
05: I Can't Get Next To You - Temptations
04: I'll Never Fall In Love Again - Tom Jones
03: Easy To Be Hard - Three Dog Night
02: Honky Tonk Women - Rolling Stones
01: Green River - Credence Clearwater Revival (CCR)

This was 50 years ago this week and I was a senior in high school at the time. My favorite songs on this list are "Green River" and "Get Together". "Easy To Be Hard" and "Honky Tonk Women" are okay, but the rest of the songs belonged in the trash; especially Sugar, Sugar.

My favorite groups in the 60's are the Kinks, Yardbirds, Beatles, Animals, Doors, and CCR. The 70's saw me getting more into hard rock, prog rock, and heavy metal. Today, my two favorite genres are hard rock and alternative (esp grunge) and my favorite groups are the Kinks, Pink Floyd, Beatles, Soundgarden, Yardbirds, and Led Zeppelin. I still like the others, but they're further down the list. I never liked the Who and the Stones were good when they first started. But as time went on, they got worse. By the end of the 60's, I stopped listening to their new material altogether.
