Nostalgia overload!

I can't help but wonder how many of today's hits will be as fondly remembered in 40-50 years.

57 seconds. If I hadn't of stumbled my fingers typing Jefferson Airplane and Rolling Stones, it might have been a bit shorter. Good quiz, but do you have anything a bit more challenging? How about one or more authors of these same songs? or The lead singer(s)?

Could we get a little spelling mercy for Procol Harum? For some reason, I kept using 'Procul' and having the 'Harum' part right wasn't enough to get the point.

could we get a couple of alternate spellings of Led Zeppelin I always forget the second e, and if you're going to accept "stones" for rolling stones or bowie for david bowie I think I should be forgiven for missing an e

Just being pedantic here but I think the song is "The Sound of Silence", the subsequent album was called "Sounds of Silence".

Accept Neil Diamond for I'm a Believer? He wrote it, and recorded it in '67.

Perhaps you should enter a caveat that you'll only accept the most famous version of a song? As mentioned, there are earlier, albeit much less famous, versions of a couple of these songs. IN fact, there's a Quiz Idea: Songs where the cover versions eclipsed their original versions!

Thinking I might do well I had no expectation of getting them all. Though I always have trouble spelling it I'm pretty sure this is the first time I ever tried 'Led Leppelin'.

For "Blowin' In The Wind" I entered "Peter, Paul & Mary" because when you compare the relative Billboard Top 100 lists theirs hit #2 in the nation. Granted, we (oldsters, anyway) are fully aware that Bob Dylan wrote it but as a recorded version his didn't make the Billboard Top 100 at all. Not complaining, because my entry was accepted, even though the answer showed Dylan's name.

Are you honestly trying to tell me that there were no high selling female artists in this decade - because this entire list is of nothing but male artists! Add some equality!
