And Beatles of course. After 1968 or so, I lost interest in “hit singles” and always wanted to dig deeper. WBCN in Boston helped in that regard.
I was only in Ocean City in '69 for four months, but we had no TV stations, Baltimore and DC were 150 miles away. No cable and one radio station. I never knew Woodstock happened until months later. I hadn't bought singles since the Castaways Liar Liar when I was about 15. I was only suggesting a way of grouping singles into a more memorable way because the OP posts pertain to singles or hits of the days.

I had 4,000 albums when I moved to TV in 2011. I sold or gave them all away. When DVD's got popular in 2003 I started collecting concerts DVD's and I got up to about 350 of them. Then in 2012 I bought my first smart TV and paired it with youtube.

Now I have over 6,500 live concert videos saved into 45 music files on youtube. Every week I go in and find more new ones, and every Friday night my wife and me watch live music concerts for about 3 hours. I use different themes for the files and now with a 75" TV and a 5.1 Sony amp and my speakers, it's like alive concert at home every week.

Here's a link to my youtube library, scroll down to 'playlists' and then click on show more.
