Your favorite 60s rock song

Bozo · 09-20-2013

I've been on a major 60s kick. I want to discover more stuff, so I'm going to whore out this thread for ideas.

Rules:
-Put down ONE song only, and the band that recorded the version you like.
-Look to make sure it hasn't been listed already. If it has, pick a different one.
-It's okay if it's from like 70 or 71...it's more about the feel and the sound. Just don't get really into the mid or late 70s. Use your judgement.
-Doesn't matter if it was/is really mainstream or not.
-Has to be rock and fucking roll. Real shit. Includes the psychedelic stuff. I like "Good Vibrations" by the Beach Boys, too, but that band doesn't belong in this thread.

Obviously no body has ONE favorite song, but I want to limit it so people get a chance to post some of the more obvious ones. Please don't just post esoteric for esoteric's sake. Don't put up some weird King Crimson song because you think you'll look all knowledgeable, but do put it up if it kicks your ass up and down your block. Let it be a song that really moves you.

I'll start with one of my old faves that I rediscovered after watching the Ginger Baker documentary:

"White Room" by Cream

Gosh, you're social right now. What the hell?

I don't know, ever since I came back from the clinical trial I've just been super motivated. I got myself on my old schedule, waking up at the crack of ass, going to the gym, then doing my shit. I even shower at school after and just spend 9-5 there studying, treating it like a job like I always wanted. I'm studying at like a rate of 10 lectures/day now thanks to having my life more organized. Went and jammed with some classmates earlier last week, had a damn near orgasmic experience just unleashing hell on that mic so that was mind-blowing. So, paradoxically, I've been more productive than ever yet managed to discover free time. The whole bettering yourself thing does wonders.

NOW PUT DOWN A GODDAMN SONG

I think you're doing alright without me.

White Rabbit
Jefferson Airplane

It's a toss-up between Green Onions, by Booker T & the MG's; Dazed and Confused or Whole Lotta Love, by Led Zeppelin; Sympathy for the Devil, (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction or Paint It Black, by the Rolling Stones; My Generation, by the Who; Sittin' on the Dock by the Bay, by Ottis Redding (listened to this A LOT with my dad); or Space Oddity, by David Bowie.

...I had to skim through this site to pick out songs I can recognize from their title. Also, I listen to a lot more music than I thought I did.

Jbird, are you mad?! You have violated DEM RULES THO

But all good songs from everybody. Since we've got some Zeppelin mentions, let me toss this one in there, "Ten Years Gone." That's my favorite Zep song
