Links to 1,082 Best Songs of 1950s and 1960s (The A’s – 23)

The primary purpose of this music blog was to find ways to demonstrate why the 1950s and 1960s was the best era for music recordings.

So, for the past two months I’ve looked up on Spotify 1,082 of the best individual recordings by 604 artists (354 groups, 165 male and 85 female singers). The majority of the songs have been charted in the Top50 or higher. I converted the original urls to shorten them and renamed them with the song names (I had to abbreviate the names as I was limited by having only 30 characters). Whenever available, I chose recordings that have been remastered which digitally upgrades the quality of sound.

After listening to these recordings, I believe you’ll agree with me that they represent the collective best music of all-time. I’ll have to limit the size of the posts. I’ll break them down in manageable size by individual alphabet groups.

Here are the 23 A’s: Barbara Acklin, The Action, Allman Brothers, Amboy Dukes, Amen Corner, American Breed, Amon Duul, Bill Anderson, Andromedia, The Angels, Paul Anka, The Animals, Aphrodites, Applejacks, Apple Pie Motherhood Band, The Archies, Louis Armstrong (pictured), Ginny Arnell, Eddie Arnold, The Astronauts, The Atlantics, The Attack and Frankie Avalon.
