The old timers give the young'ns tips on the 60s.

My top 3: Beatles, Beach Boys and Doors...in that order - for me.

Some groups off the top of my head:

Airplane, Cream, Frigid Pink, Blue Cheer, Steppenwolf, Yardbirds, DC5, Kinks, Beau Brummels, Neil Young, Hermans Hermits, Animals, Hendrix, Butterfly, Blind Faith, Who, Canned Heat, Donovan, Zeppelin, Blues Magoos, Chambers Brothers, Standells, Grassroots, Association, Great Society (pre Airplane), Status Quo (I think they were in the 60's), Sabbath (pre first album).....

"Cheap Thrills" (Janis Joplin, Big Brother and the Holding Company) - a defining 60's album - (and of course the Beatles White Album and Sgt. Peppers)

"Nuggets" box set (4 cd). This has great early-mid sixties garage rock (beginning of punk) such as "Louie, Louie," "Wooly Bully", "Pushin too Hard," "Liar, Liar" etc.

Also, Wishbone Ash, "Argus" great guitar work for a prog-rock album.

Ok. All of you other old geezers have filled in the music. The best tip I can give from the 60's is:

"Don't bogart that joint, my friend! Pass it over to me. You've been hangin' on to it, and I sure would like a hit!"

Come to think of it, it has worked in every decade since. ;-)
