[Eric]

Dude, youre a god. No need on the 70's I mis wrote. I got the 70's covered, meant to say 50-60's

And as far as the "Psycadelic/Vietnam/Peace" genre. I have all of that covered. So exclude beatles, doors, jimi

I guess really, im aiming mostly at the 50's and getting a good amount of Motown

[Eric]

Thanks for the help everyone.

Ty, you really hit the head of the nail on ALOT of what I was trying to find. Music ive heard so many times and loved but never knew the artists and names.

Ill post the album list once I get it organized

[Tyfighter]

Great, I'm glad I could help!

Once you got more specific, I isolated my own lists in accordance with your demands. I think everyone here should know this stuff, but I'm of course biased in that regard.

I can't wait to see what results from all this!
