Call 'em folk, call 'em pop, call 'em white North American 1960s - but (speaking as a white North American child of the 60s) I call 'em a list of mostly terrific songs which have been (warning: cliche coming) the soundtrack of my life. A few odd comments:

The "most essential" instrumental appears to be No Regrets, at #48.

I'm happy to see Phil Ochs on the list, but surprised to see There But For Fortune (#25) as his top-ranked song.

Someone spelled Bogle wrong (#40).

I would have found room for Requiem, Eileen McGann.

Goodnight Irene (#15), listed as Weavers (Trad.), was not actually trad, but Leadbelly, no?

Is #58 supposed to be 500 Miles? I don't think I know a PPM song just called Miles.

Interesting that Urge For Going is associated with Tom Rush and not Joni Mitchell.
