The best decade for pop music has been revealed – according to science

S E E D E D   C O N T E N T



A new study from a team at New York University saw 643 subjects aged between 18 and 25 being quizzed on their pop song knowledge throughout the last 50 years.

And, in a major victory for fans of the 1960s, it seems that chart toppers from that decade proved to be a whole lot more memorable than the songs from the years 2000 to 2015.

Was always worried about those guys. Friends of Charlie Manson were scary.

If I understood the articles correctly , a group of 600 and some millennials recognized pop music from the sixties more readily pop songs from their own generation. 

Make of it what you will. 

Interestingly, these young people had a hard time identifying music from before 1960.

Yep!   The sixties had Rock and Soul.   Some of my favorite music of that time was Motown.

And Aretha even though she wasn't Motown ..... she had the sound

What a great decade of music.  

Those of us who grew up in that decade were lucky!

I think you'd do better if you redefined the decade as 1965-1975. I think there's more to recommend the early 70s than the early 60s.

Depends om what you are looking for. If you leave out 1960-64, you leave out the girl groups for the most past, you leave out Dion, you leave out the Everly Bros. And you leave out virtually all of Roy Orbison's biggest hits. And the first year of the Beatles.

Here are  songs that are classic 1960's pop hits from before 1965.

Heatwave, Be My Baby and Runaround Sue are all on Rolling Stones list of the greatest songs of "all time" . I'm not sure about In Dreams

Almost useless article for me. It's no use for me to scroll through a whole bunch of totally blank comments under the posters' avatars in most cases.  Sometimes members actually take the trouble to post titles and artists.

As for me, the pop music of the 50s for romancing, and the 60s for the most memorable of all.

I can still remember watching Sly and the Family Stone in an outdoor live concert in Toronto about half a century ago - Everyday People still runs through my head.

Lots of good music that group! I listened to the music, but I could not travel yet (in school). I never understood fully his troubles with the law and didn't follow up. Just have felt all my life that Sly's music was prematurely ended!

I really loved the Fifth Dimension song, too! I listened to it on a transistor radio!
