Agreed. I remember them well. They were at the top right at the beginning of Vietnam. Your last link didn't post so I'll take the liberty and add one that may fit. This 1962 song by Peter, Paul and Mary was uncanny in timing and a portent for the intensity soon to follow.

Played some Beach Boys for the five year old grand daughter while she was playing with her shell collection on a make believe beach...she liked them.
Hawl & Oates brings back memories.

Music trivia factoid. Chloe Chua plays a Guarneri, on loan, made in 1729. Niccolo Paganini played a Guarneri made in 1743.

Market value of either unknown. I’m certain insured for 10s of millions USD each.

If you try to listen to any music with inferior audio, like cell phone speakers, you are wasting your time.

For those who expect or prefer a symphony orchestra to play continental music with regular and dramatic booming crescendos, stereotypical of many German compositions, here ya go. Chloe Chua and Singapore Symphony performing Bruch finale.

Interesting thread for sure. For myself, being a kid in the 70s and 80s I’m pretty partial to the music from that era. Particularly heavy metal and rock. But a quirky trait about my tastes is if The Rolling Stone loves a certain artist, it’s more than likely I won’t. Not always of course but quite often. To me the very pinnacle of the music mountain is Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. But they are getting old and that depresses me. And of course being a Canadian I have to mention the greatness of Rush. Back in the decades I mentioned, Canada had a LOT of fantastic rock bands and solo artists. Not so much anymore. Don’t know why.
