Thread Name: The Byrds... Your favorite songs
Subject: RE: The Byrds... Your favorite song...
Yeah, My Back Pages was great--love to hear them sing:    "I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now."

Bells of Rhymney perfectly fit the jangling guitars.

So many of their hits were fun to sing along with:    Mr. Tambourine Man, Turn, Turn Turn, So You Want to Be A Rock n Roll Star, etc.

All those songs about telling you how to become a rock n roll star were real fun-- like Bobby Bare's All American Boy, also.    Sure was easy to become a rock star--you could do it in 2 1/2 minutes.   Course Bobby Bare had to give up his guitar for a rifle.    The Byrds didn't make you do that.
