  5. The Fugs - Tenderness Junction The poem is Dover Beach (1851) and the text is beautiful and melancholic. The Fugs sing only the last part, from "Ah, love...": The sea is calm to-night. The tide is full, the moon lies fair Upon the straits; on the French coast the light Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand; Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay. Come to the window, sweet is the night-air! Only, from the long line of spray Where the sea meets the moon-blanched land, Listen! you hear the grating roar Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling, At their return, up the high strand, Begin, and cease, and then again begin, With tremulous cadence slow, and bring The eternal note of sadness in. Sophocles long ago Heard it on the A gaean, and it brought Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow Of human misery; we Find also in the sound a thought, Hearing it by this distant northern sea. The Sea of Faith Was once, too, at the full, and round earth's shore Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled. But now I only hear Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar, Retreating, to the breath Of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear And naked shingles of the world. Ah, love, let us be true To one another! for the world, which seems To lie before us like a land of dreams, So various, so beautiful, so new, Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light, Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain; And we are here as on a darkling plain Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, Where ignorant armies clash by night.
  6. Keep on guessing. These guys haven't been mentioned here in Songfacts that I know of so it's kind of hard. Here's another pic of the album: A clue: They did a good song out of a poem by Matthew Arnold! I'm back in a few hours

  12. The songfacts topten spreadsheet is updated. You can find it here Which year is the most popular? To find out I listed all songs that placed 1st, 2nd or 3rd in our 26 top tens. Not surprisingly it's 1967 with 13 songs in the top. Here's the complete list: 1951 1 song 1958 2 songs 1959 1 song 1960 1 song 1963 2 songs 1964 3 songs 1965 5 songs 1966 5 songs 1967 13 songs 1968 10 songs 1969 3 songs 1970 9 songs 1971 7 songs 1972 3 songs 1973 5 songs 1974 1 song 1975 2 songs 1976 1 song 1979 2 songs 1991 1 song 1997 1 song IMO musically the 60s comprise the years 1963 - 1972. The most memorable songs were recorded in those years. 60 out of 78 songs are from that "decade"!
