The best songs of the 60s? Surely an impossible task. And it is. Two important things that are worth mentioning.

The pirate radio stations helped a little to redress the balance, but there have always been 24 hours in a day, and that means only so many 45 got played across the world. The result of all this? Lots of great s music slipped through the radio sifting process, and have become lost over time.
