I still get a kick out of hearing, Puff the Magic Draggon.

Not so popular groups.....
I use to love Wang Chung: Hyponotize me, Let's Go and Live and Die in LA was a stand out, even for the 80's
And what about Chilliwack's: My Girl or sometimes called Gone, Gone, Gone
And from Ferris Bueller : "Oh Yeah", from a group called Yello:smilewinkgrin:

So many songs, but here are a few-
Suite Judy Blue Eye's-CSN
I heard it on the grape vine-Marvin Gaye
Foxy Lady and All Along The Watch Tower- J. Hendrix
Satisfaction- Stones
Hard Days Night- Beatles
Ricky Don't Lose That Number- Steely Dan
Much of Motown and CCR's recordings

Reading some of everyones list brings a few more to my mind:
California Dreaming Mamas & Papas
Voodoo Child Jimi Hendrix
Papa was a rolling stone The Temptations
Lets Dance David Bowe
Can this be Real Cheryl Lynn
Jamaica Funk Tom Brown
-
"Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast"
-
Foo Fighters- Learn to Fly
Level 42- Something About You
Bush- Machinehead
The Cars- Drive
Eric Clapton- Tears in Heaven
Dobie Gray- Drift Away
The Beatles- Hey Jude
Elton John- Crocodile Rock
The Fixx- One Thing Leads to Another
Three Dog Night- Joy to the World
Obviously, many of these were recorded some years before I was born, but loved these songs when I was growing up.

I still love much of the 60's music from my grade school years and the 70's music from my high school and college years. This would of course include the Beatles, Stones, Who, CSNY, Jethro Tull and on and on.
I just got seriously back into music in the last five years, and have been able to obtain high quality vintage gear that I could never have afforded in my youth. I have also been able to significantly multiply my music collection via the thrifts and other second-hand sources, in LPs CDs and Cassettes. The improved gear lets me hear those long loved songs as if they were new to me.
I would guess that the one album from my youth that gets the most regular play in the rotation is Tull's Thick as a Brick.
