Actually, "The Band", started out as Ronnie Hawkins' backing band, The Hawks from about 1960 to 1964. This lineup of the Hawks, consists of four Canadian musicians: Robbie Robertson (guitar, Toronto, ON), Rick Danko (bass/vocals, Simcoe, ON), Richard Manuel (piano/vocals, Stratford, ON), and Garth Hudson (organ, London, ON) along with Arkansas-born drummer/vocalist Levon Helm. They get the name "The Band" around the time of the release of their first album, Music From Big Pink, which was not coincidentally, released on Canada Day (July 1st) 1968, but done as a nod to the "Band" being Canadian.
I enjoyed all your picks and I agree "A Day In The Life" is very special. I would add Bob Dylan and The Grateful Dead to the list. Dylan i]was the poet of Rock & Roll and The Grateful Dead created their own genre which lives on with descendant and cover bands playing the music of the genre.. Thanks
Light My Fire story: Summer before what became ninth grade. Either Saturday night or early Sunday morning neither sense matters; both was identical at the moment. Lying on huge couch used as a bed situated downstairs, which was a finished basement room called The TV Room, was one (a teenager) in bed amid basement darkness. To the right sits, on a little bedside table, an AM radio. An extension cord stretched out links the radio to power outlet. Beginning at midnight is Up All Night Am Radio Show, popular locally, for the DJ had allowance to spin his favorite 45s mixed with the Billboard top forty. Heard his voice sound -- This Next Band Is New. Named The Doors. This Record Played Now Is Heard For The First Time Here In. . .City. Then sliding sonic streaming from the tiny AM radio speaker is ththe opening keyboard refrain of Light My Fire. Consciousness glues to soaring sonic sanity amid basement darkness of outward now as vibrational flames danced like a fireplace-fire in the hearth of a teenage skull. . . .Come On Baby Light My Fire. Come On Set The World On Fire. . . .At that moment in time the only world aflame was a sonic blaze flowing like a river through a brain.
I couldn't even watch this video. When you start a "Forgotten Songs" video with A, the Beatles, and B, "A Day In The Life", the rest of the video is probably even stupider! Good luck and Good laughs to anyone who gets past this first song!
I heard that Paul Simon woke up in the middle of the night at his parents house and wrote "sounds of Silence" while sitting in the bathroom. Is this true? I don't know.
Loved the Airplane. HATE Starship! Their songs devolved into pretentious drivel. Saw Jeff Beck OPEN for Starship on his Wired tour. He was TREMENDOUS. My group walked out on JS. It was such a come down.
I would have thought that White Rabbit was a Jefferson Airplane was a bigger event then the song you mention. However, it was a great song, but I don't see it as JA top song.
I'm 32 and I have been listening and researching popular music and I strongly feel that the 60s, 70s and the 80s (up until 1987) were the best decades in music.
I have always said the artists of the 60s wrote the book for everything that followed.
The 60s music of songs will never be matched ever even today.
when did brian jones become brian wilson lol
I wondered about that too
I would love put on the list Sam And Dave's Soul Man! A song makes want to get up and dance while wearing sunglasses for sure period and that's that!
My time and my music
I hope you enjoy 🙏
@@WaybackUSAas long as keep them coming….
one of the ladies in our van club use to babysit for the airplane

Forgotten? I think not.
I guess by forgotten they mean played less often than Taylor Swift junk.
I grew up in San Francisco so all these songs were a big part of my life.

Roger Dalton IS 80 years old. I guess he really didn't want to die before he got old.
My rebellious sister liked Hendrix, Cream et al. Whereas I was (and am) a Simon & Garfunkle fan.
Not forgotten by me (except Velvet Underground who I never followed).
Forgotten my ass and I'm only 32 years old

Brian Jones really changed, didn't he???
So many choices they where all good , if I had to chose 1 it would be the Beach Boys
I would have thought that White Rabbit was a Jefferson Airplane was a bigger event then the song you mention. However, it was a great song, but I don't see it as JA top song.
How are the Beatles and Beach Boys forgotten along with all the others?
Other than the Velvet undergrounds Hereon , None uf these songs are forgotten
Who forgot these songs?
I think the Rolling Stones were a better band with Brian Jones
Get rid of the distracting background whistling!!
Good , but the 70’s
