habe auch meine 60-er-Liste aus einer bestehenden „Top-Songs of all Times“-Liste gestrickt und stelle fest, dass ich z.B. im Vergleich zu Mista doch auf wesentlich weniger Interpreten (nur 38 Interpreten haben es unter die Top 100 geschafft) beschränkt bin, was zum einen darauf zurückzuführen ist, dass ich einiges nicht so sehr mag, aber sicherlich auch darauf, dass mein Überblick über die 60-er bei weitem noch nicht ausgeprägt ist. Zumal ich sie, was die populäre Musik der 60-er angeht, nicht sehr bewusst, unmittelbar und direkt (Jahrgang 1960) erlebt habe.
