It's time! This thread will serve to nominate and discuss the tracks for the tournament that were released between January 1, 1960 and December 31, 1964. Keep in mind that your nomination must have been initially released within this time-frame. Singles can often be released earlier or later than the album, so double check things like Wikipedia. When nominating and seconding, please follow these guidelines:


You can nominate one track per post, and you can nominate another track after two other members have made their nominations (per thread).
You can second one track per post, and you can second another track after two other tracks have been seconded (per thread).
Each nomination should be supported by a video, illustrating the song being nominated.
The video must be the version of the track being nominated (so no live versions, covers, re-recordings, or remixes).


To reiterate from the announcement post (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?19369), to make a nomination, please use the following format: ARTIST - TITLE (YEAR). A nomination should also be supported by a video, illustrating the song being nominated (though not necessarily the song's official video, especially if it contains a lengthy pre-song scene). Most tracks can be found on YouTube, and that's preferred, but other video hosting services can be used, which can be embedded with your nomination. If you can't find your pick, send me a PM and I will try to locate it for you. However, please do not simply post a link or embed the video so it appears on the page. Since there will be lots of nominations per page and lots of videos, this will be too much to handle for most computers, slowing down the page tremendously. So to make your nomination, please hide the embedded video using the SPOIL tags (using this spoiler option: http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/images/icons/spoiler.gif) Don't forget to remove the s in https when embedding YouTube links. Also, the youtu.be sharing shortcut will not work. We need the full address (just without the s in https).

All you need to do is first click the "Insert Video" icon: http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/images/editor/video.png. Paste your YouTube link, remove the s in https and click OK. The link should stay selected, so click the black SPOIL button, enter your ARTIST - TITLE (YEAR) into the field which appears, click OK, and you're done.

To illustrate, a sample nomination should look like this (and this track is not eligible, since it's from 2015):

Or, simply use the below template (fill in the red placeholders):

A lot of Link Wray's stuff sounds similar but the best, I think, are "Rumble" and "Ace of Spades". But the "The Shadow Knows" is pretty creepy, so there's that.

I'll nominate a surf rock tune that's really beautifully melancholy as opposed to what those tracks usually are:

There's some discrepancy whether this came out in late 1961 or early 1962: http://www.45cat.com/record/a5034 But for our purposes it doesn't change much and 1962 is more likely. Still a great tune.

Yes, yes, I know, more Neil Sedaka. But what can I say? I'm a fan. Anyway, you can never trust a "gal with a cheatin' heart." Get the hell out of there!

One of the saddest songs I've ever heard. Admittedly, I like Pearl Jam's version better. This one is still quite good. It's better than the original by Wayne Cochran I think.

Interestingly, this was to be the main title theme for the John Wayne/Jimmy Stewart/Lee Marvin (absolutely classic) movie, but was not actually used in the film.

This is a very clever, almost novelty, song that I heard on the radio only once. I doubt anyone here is familiar with it. Basically, the song mimics the styles of several popular groups and songs of the day, and riffs on them by changing the lyrics.

The songs and groups parodied here are The Fleetwoods (Mr. Blue), the Hollywood Argyles (Alley Oop), the Platters (Smoke gets in Your Eyes), the Four Freshmen (In This Whole Wide World), the Kingston Trio (Tom Dooley) and Dion and the Belmonts (A Teenager in Love).

Whether this gets seconded or not, it is worth a listen to get a few smiles.
