I was in 6th grade when "I want to hold your hand" came out and I didn't like it at all. But in 7th grade, I remember liking "Eight Days A Week" and then I started buying them all.
I also listened to a lot Motown back then and Sun, so bands like The Four Tops and the Supremes, along with great singers like Otis Redding. Stevie Wonder was great.
But my first singles 45's were Satisfaction by the Stones and The Letter by the Box Tops.
That's pretty awesome to have lived through the 60s and watched as The Beatles and all those other great artists developed. Perhaps the decade gets romanticised at times, but it's definitely a time that I'd love to visit if I had a time machine.
