A short while back we did a #1 comparison list of records that topped the three most-prominent music trades, Billboard Magazine, Cash Box Magazine and Music Vendor / Record World Magazine. The series was inspired by the release of the new Joel Whitburn / Record Research Chart Comparison Book that lists, for the first time ever, the peak position of every record to make the list in all three of these publications.
After the series I mentioned that I might some day feel inspired to (by collecting the accumulated weeks at #1 of every record covered in these volumes, 1954 - 1982) to compile a list of The Top 1000 #1 Records Of All-Time.
To give readers some idea as to what that might look like, I ran the list of The Top 200 #1 Records of The Beatles Era (1964 -1970)
Frequent Forgotten Hits contributor (and mega-music fan) Chet Coppock was immediately concerned that a list such as this didn't accurately reflect the best music of the '60's ... too much bubblegum ... and none of the classic album tracks would be considered. This was true ... MY list was a mathematical ranking based on chart statistics ... but Chet felt that he could compile a more accurate list of '60's Favorites that would better represent this pivotal era in music. (Of course this would be a very personal list of favorites, based on nothing more than ones own opinion ... and, as I've been told COUNTLESS times in my lifetime, opinions are like assholes ... EVERYBODY'S got one!!!)
That being said, I told Chet, "Have At It" ... and, of course, he did!!!
So today we present The Top 200 Greatest Hits Of The '60's ...
Based on The World According To Chet Coppock!
It's sure to inspire debate (most of his lists usually do!!!) ... and we're not necessarily asking you to compile a list of your own ... but digest, reflect and comment as you see fit.
Kent,
Just about finished with my 1960's top 200 list ... bound to cause anger from coast to coast ... this may cause rioting of epic proportions!
Just remember, YOU asked for it, champ!
Chet
Chet later told me that the first 170 songs came to him immediately ... all he had to do then was put them in rank order. He actually compiled a list of 300 and then whittled it down to 200. The Top 50 are "absolute" ... #51 to about #150 have been given a fair amount of thought (and quite a bit of shuffling around was necessary to get these in order) ... and the last 50 are a bit more random ... but all are songs he felt HAD to be there.
That being said, I don't think I could have put together a list of my Top 200 Favorite Songs From 1967, much less the whole decade ... the year just meant too much to me to have to pick and choose a narrowed-down list of favorites (and still leave other favorites out) ... so I give him a lot of credit for his efforts ... despite the fact that many of these would have NEVER made my own personal list. (I do have to say thanks, however, for including ONE Monkees song in my honor!!! lol)
Here goes ...
Dear Kent:
You know why I've stopped at your bar and grill. Several months ago, you ran a piece about all the songs that reached #1 during the tumultuous, yet magical decade known as the 60's.
Frankly, the list of top tunes disturbed me for one reason. I had no qualm with the vast majority of songs on the list, but there was just too much bubble gum combined with other mindless drivel that had no business seeing the top of the Billboard Mountain. I told you I was going to send you my own list of top 200 songs from that magnificent era of sound.
Now, before we throw out the first pitch, let me give your F.H. readers a few grounds rules. My list actually begins in '61 and shuts down at the close of 1970. Hey, my house, my game.
Additionally, I do have handful of album cuts on my list for the simple fact that they are just terrific tunes, tunes that still resonate with me to this day ... songs that deserve recognition.
Kent, knowing how much you love The Monkees I managed to find a spot deep in the pack for Valleri. However, let’s also note that the Lemon Pipers, The Ohio Express and the Archies were never given consideration.
Green Tambourine? Gag me with a spoon.
I sat down this past Friday morning and jotted down 300 songs. After a series of cuts, here is my 60's rock 'n roll highway:
(Note: I am not listing full song names. Your readers don't have to be told that “I've Been Loving You Too Long”, the masterpiece by Otis Redding, is actually titled, “I've Been Loving You Too Long to Stop Now”. Capiche?)

200. The Blues image - Ride Captain Ride
201 - "Bear Down Chicago Bears"
What I find when I look at a list like this is that a song selected by a particular artist inspires me to pick alternate suggestions that I consider to be MUCH stronger recordings by that same artist.
Examples: "If I Were A Carpenter" by Bobby Darin is a great recording ... and gave his then fairly-dormant career a big boost ... but (if sticking only with the '60's) doesn't even come close to capturing the magic of "Beyond The Sea".
You've got a few Aretha tracks listed ... but for me some of her strongest were "Think", "Since You've Been Gone", "Baby I Love You", "A Natural Woman" and even "I Say A Little Prayer".
Nothing beats "Rag Doll" for pure impact power for The Four Seasons ... but I'd have to rank the complete "out of nowhere" sound of "Sherry" or the latter-day hit "C'mon Marianne" ahead of "Big Girl In Town", even if you DID list it twice!!!
Same with the James Brown selections ... NOTHING was more powerful for me than "It's A Man's, Man's, Man's World" ... or the classic monster hits "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag" and "I Got You". I didn't particularly care for "There Was A Time" or "Cold Sweat" when they first came out ... but I appreciate them SO much more today, especially after seeing the James Brown biopic last year.
And, if you're expanding the list to 1970, how on earth do you leave off "Bridge Over Troubled Water"??? Or (from 1965) Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come"? (You've got the A-Side of that record listed ... "Shake" ... but how do you ignore "A Change Is Gonna Come?")
See, THIS is why we could debate this list forever ... you say potatoe ... I say potahto ... you say "We Got Soul" by Dyke and the Blazers ... I say "Tracy" by The Cuff Links!
Speaking of which, you can make fun of The Monkees all you like ... and "Valleri" is a great choice, by the way ... but at the time "She" (which hasn't aged as well) or "Shades Of Gray" (which sounds more prophetic than ever 45 years later) certainly turned quite a few heads back in the day, too.
Once you add in album tracks, I'd have a hard time eliminating about 50-60 Beatles cuts. I'm not sure I could narrow my list down to The Top 2000 Greatest Songs Of The '60's (but man, what a GREAT radio play list that would be!!!) In fact, somebody give me a crack at it and I'll give you back a play list of 4000 songs that would build the greatest '60's radio station EVER!!!
That's another problem I have (personally) with ranking this stuff ... what the song meant to me THEN vs. what it means to me now. Some (like "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield) have only gotten stronger. Others (like "Yummy Yummy Yummy") leave me wondering "What the heck was I thinking when I bought that record???) Then again you get SOME songs that sucked then ("Harper Valley PTA") and will continue to suck for all eternity!!!
That being said ... I DEFY you to sit still for all two minutes of "Down At Lulu's" ... I just don't think it can be done!!! lol
I commend you for your efforts ... this is NOT an easy task. Like our "Soul Favorites" series a few months back, the "suggestion list" will continue to grow and grow as more feedback comes in ... but the truth is, it's all subjective. All I know is that MOST '60's music works for me ... and STILL does the trick some 50+ years later! (kk)
We should do a point / counter-point radio show!
Chet
Jane, you ignorant slut ...
Believe it or not, I think something like this could actually work! Each week, you could introduce me to half a dozen tracks that YOU think have stood the test of time that I may have missed the first time around ... and I'll introduce you to half a dozen INCREDIBLE tracks that probably slipped right past you because you were listening to "heavier" stuff than I was at the time. We could probably come up with a one hour radio show that folks around the world would listen to just to find out what we were going to butt heads about next!
In fact, I've already got a radio station lined up that'll air it! WRLR would LOVE to have us do this as a weekly debate on their station! You can ponder on for all infinity (well, 30 minutes anyway!) about the virtues of The Velvet Underground ... and then I can show you how amazing the music of Herman's Hermits and Gary Puckett and the Union Gap really was! I'm telling you ... it's a HIT in the making! (kk)
