Here's my fav single from that year (and probably one of my favourite Moody Blues songs in general):

'Something' by The Beatles is okay, but I'm not a fan of much of the other stuff they were bringing out by then. Oh, and 'Space Oddity' by Bowie is still great.

I didnt see Polk Salad Annie on the list, released in 69 but took a while to chart

I've checked a few of them out and pleasantly surprised how many I knew.

As a little kid, the only music was the very occasional playing of a Charley pride or Johnny Cash record on the radiogram. The kitchen radio was fixed on the ABC. The only reason I got given music lessons was the parents used to go to a particular pub each Friday night for a counter meal, there was an old upright piano there and once I'd eaten (at 5 or 6) I'd either go behind the bar and help wash glasses or much around on the old piano.

Only once we got the milk bar in '71 I had a Juke Box to play with, when I could pinch the keys.

Overall, I think you've just created the soundtrack for Guardians of the Galaxy 3.

Thanks. I would have listed it if I'd realised it was released in '69 - I actually thought it came out in '68. But you're quite correct.

Really? I went out and bought To Our Children's etc a couple of years back when you mentioned it somewhere on here. I did listen to it but I have no memory at all of "Watching and Waiting".

Don't much like "Something". Space Oddity is in my list - there are not too many tracks that can boast of having Terry Cox and Herbie Flowers as the rhythm section.

Here's the "B" side: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mytfk3FFa_o

And here's one I did miss - the first track and single from Led Zeppelin I, released earlier in 1969. The first sounds any of us heard of Zep: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIArJ8OuFR4
