60's - I could probably list 5 Beatles songs here... Buuut... I won't.

 

Helter Skelter - Beatles

19th Nervous Breakdown - Rolling Stones

The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down - The Band

White Light White Heat - Velvet Underground

Folsom Prison Blues - Johnny Cash... debated whether this belongs on a 50's or 60's list. Original recording was in '55, the version I really love was released in '68. So since I don't plan on doing a 50's list, I'm sneaking it in here.
