Music Playlist: 1965 - Present Day

The only restriction is one song per artist, per decade. 1965 The Rolling Stones - (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction A title that everyone can relate to, set to a powerful simple guitar riff and drumbeat which are constant throughout the song. A defiant rant about life's frustrations that keeps you hooked to the end. https://youtu.be/nrIPxlFzDi0 The Temptations - My Girl Happy, sweet, catchy and above all uplifting. Flows smoothly from start to finish. https://youtu.be/swSytFVMHuU Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone The lyrics talk about someone who was rich and well connected, and then lost it all. A process which is obviously hard and desperate on one level, but at the same time has a certain freedom and truth to it which comes through in the song and lends to it's power.  The melody of the lyrics are put to the rhythm of the song in an ingenious fashion which influenced many later artists, and most importantly it works. https://youtu.be/IwOfCgkyEj0 Roy Or
