Acclaimed Music Top 20 Songs of 1965

(They're going to get a lot of) Satisfaction

According to the Acclaimed Music algorythm, the two best songs of all time have been both published in 1964: Bob Dylan's Like a Rolling Stone and Rolling Stones' (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction. As you know, unfortunately Bob Dylan is not on Spotify. So his songs, along with those by Beatles, are the only missing tunes from a really great playlist, that tells us how incredible must have been to listen to new music in 1964... Enjoy!

(This is a kind of "history of music" project, based on aggregated charts found on Acclaimed Music. It features Top 20 playlists for decades 1920s, 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, and yearly Top 20 playlists (both songs and albums) for each year from 1960 to 2010. In a perfect world, it should be a weekly project...)
