No picks were from memory... For a fresh 2006 perspective, all songs were listened to prior to making selections.
Only one version of a song was counted... live versions of studio recordings did not add to the number of songs.
The original vinyl releases were judged... bonus tracks on reissues were unavailable for listening.
After the periods I cover...
Cat Stevens, Traffic and Van Morrison continued to record new music.
The members of Cream (which broke up in '68) continued to record as solo artists and/or in different groups.
Eric Burdon formed Eric Burdon & War in 1969 and reunited with the original Animals (1964-1966) in 1977 and 1983.
Without Van Morrison, some members of Them continued the group and other members left to form the Belfast Gypsies.
