Less than 5 tracks is cool, but try not to extend past that number. Also mixing up genres is encouraged (pop, experimental, jazz, etc).

The only rule is don't put 5 Beatles tracks. 4 Beatles tracks is cool, but not 5.

I should have said mixing up genres is encouraged, but not necessary. Especially since someone like me knows not too much about the non-pop of the mid-60's.

Tell Her No - The Zombies
My Boy Lollipop - Millie Small
Goin’ Out Of My Head - Little Anthony And The Imperials
Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right - Bob Dylan
Because - Dave Clark Five

Do you really like "Because" better than every Beatles song recorded or released in 1964?

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Sunday, 10 April 2005 16:29 (twenty years ago)

"Suggest" implies that they don't have to be your 5 favorite songs.

Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right - Bob Dylan

This is one of my favourite songs of all time, but it's from Freewheelin', which is 1963.

― Alba (Alba), Sunday, 10 April 2005 17:49 (twenty years ago)

Boo to that. Replace with "I Don't Want To Spoil The Party," from Beatles For Sale I guess.

"Suspicion"-Terry Stafford

I know fewer than 5 tracks that are definitely from 1964.

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 10 April 2005 19:00 (twenty years ago)

Thanks the the magic of obsessive mp3 tagging, I instantly know 82.

― Alba (Alba), Sunday, 10 April 2005 19:04 (twenty years ago)

MAGIC!

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 10 April 2005 19:18 (twenty years ago)

A Love Supreme - John Coltrane

All 4 Tracks. Tough to measure up against this one, arguably the greatest jazz work of all time.

― erklie, Sunday, 10 April 2005 19:44 (twenty years ago)

Fats Waller - "Digah's Stomp"
Annie Ross - "Twisted"

The Kinks: Stop Your Sobbing
The Beau Brummels: Laugh Laugh
The Zombies: She's Not There

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Sunday, 10 April 2005 20:55 (twenty years ago)

Tell Her No - The Zombies

Excellent choice, except it is from 1965

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Sunday, 10 April 2005 20:56 (twenty years ago)

"Laugh Laugh" is too, if not '66.

― edd s hurt (ddduncan), Sunday, 10 April 2005 21:18 (twenty years ago)

Actually, Fuzz, Acid and Flowers says "Laugh Laugh" was their first single and was indeed from '64.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Sunday, 10 April 2005 21:20 (twenty years ago)

No, "Laugh Laugh" was released in late 1964. Beau Brummels pre-dated The Byrds.

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Sunday, 10 April 2005 21:21 (twenty years ago)

Laugh, Laugh is my favorite put-down song of all-time.

― Cunga (Cunga), Sunday, 10 April 2005 21:31 (twenty years ago)

"Laugh Laugh" is December '64 according to the Nuggets boxed set.

Also the first Zombies record is December '64 according to allmusic.

― billstevejim, Sunday, 10 April 2005 22:32 (twenty years ago)

the discography in the "Zombie Heaven" box sez "Tell Her No" is Jan. '65. "She's Not There" was fall '64. Maybe "Tell Her" was indeed recorded late '64, not sure.

Dionne. Sorry Dionne.
-- Alba (albab...), April 10th, 2005.

No need to apologize, Alba - "Dione" herself spent half of her career misspelling her OWN last name, without anybody's help!

Here's five:

Beatles, "Baby's In Black"
Eric Dolphy, "Hat And Beard"
Betty Everett, "The Shoop Shoop Song (It's In His Kiss)"
Barbra Streisand, "People"
The Zombies, "She's Not There"

― Myonga Von Bontee (Myonga Von Bontee), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 06:51 (twenty years ago)

She didn't mis-spell her surname; the extra "e" was added on the advice of her astrologist. The only hit she had as Dionne "Warwicke" was the one with the Detroit Spinners. Then she got rid of the "e," hooked up with the Bee Gees and had the biggest hits of her career.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 07:42 (twenty years ago)

Professor Longhair 'Big Chief'
Dottie West 'Here comes my Baby'

― assseenontv (j22433), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 14:49 (twenty years ago)

She didn't mis-spell her surname; the extra "e" was added on the advice of her astrologist.

"Bacharach and David wrote and produced her first single, "Don't Make Me Over," in 1962. When the record was released, the performer credit contained a typo; it read "Dionne Warwick" instead of "Dionne Warrick," and she kept the new name."

Her birth name was Warrick, she changed it to Warwick and then later to Warwicke and then back to Warwick.

― peepee (peepee), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 15:33 (twenty years ago)

I'm sure I once heard that Sam Cook added the 'e' to his name because a numerologist or astrologer told him that it would be luckier. I can't find any corroboration of this story right now though.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 15:45 (twenty years ago)

Maybe he was just borrowing it from Dionne.

― walter kranz (walterkranz), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 17:08 (twenty years ago)

I need help on a couple date verifications for 1964..

I Can't Explain - The Who
You Didn't Have To Be So Nice - The Lovin' Spoonful (I swear I read somewhere this was released in '64)

― billstevejim, Saturday, 16 April 2005 17:54 (twenty years ago)

You Didn't Have To Be So Nice is 1965 according to http://www.lovinspoonful.com/disc.html
