It's a 1960s movie
Doing a lecture today on troublemaking youth in the 60s and it got me thinking about the mind-numbing obvious choices that moviemakers use for the soundtrack to let you know, hey, this is the 60s, man! Some that immediately came to mind:
Jimi - All Along the Watchtower
CCR - Fortunate Son (I have had this playing in my head all morning—so bloody good)
Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth (I really hate this song more than it deserves)
Stones - Street Fighting Man
Jeff Airplane - White Rabbit
Dylan - Blowin' in the Wind and/or Like a Rolling Stone
Simon & Garfunkel - Sound of Silence
What else?

Scott McKenzie - San Francisco
Fifth Dimension - Age of Aquarius
Oliver - Good Morning Starshine
Sonny and Cher - I Got You Babe
Pretty much any song you see in those Time Life ads.

Such a wide spectrum to choose from Velvet Underground to the Four Tops and everything in between

Re: It's a 1960s movie
VU is too outre for most 60s flicks, I'd say. As Inder put it, the songs from Time-Life ads—with aging Boomers grooving on their past, "when the music meant something."coffeepotman wrote: ↑08 Feb 2018, 3:23pmSuch a wide spectrum to choose from Velvet Underground to the Four Tops and everything in between

Shouldn't the Beatles be represented? I'd say "Revolution" would fit that hackneyed template.

Re: It's a 1960s movie
A few more:
Phil Ochs - I Ain't Marching Anymore
Zombies - She's Not There
Nancy Sinatra - These Boots Are Made for Walkin'
Four Tops - It's The Same Old Song
The Doors - Light My Fire
The Band - The Weight
And for the beginning scene, before the kid gets drafted and sent to 'Nam, Beach Boys - Good Vibrations
What would the 70s, 80s or (shudder) 90s equivalent be?

'70s: lots of disco
'80s: lots of stuff like Bryan Adams and (ahem) Depeche Mode.
'90s: whatever Hoy's been listening to this week.

Re: It's a 1960s movie
You'd think so, but I'd say no (if I'm on the same page as Doc). "My Generation" never got much airplay in the US, not even on FM radio, so it's less "iconic" in that sense, and most of that genre of film tends to be very America-centric

Yeah, I never read the question properly and was thinking documentaries as well as films.muppet hi fi wrote: ↑08 Feb 2018, 5:46pmYou'd think so, but I'd say no (if I'm on the same page as Doc).

Quite amazing it was never a hit in the US.
