Top 100 Music Albums of 1962 by Moondance
In 1962, I turned 6 and began primary school. I was absorbing modern music from wherever it came and my favourite songs from that year were: Working For The Man; Can't Help Falling In Love; I Can't Stop Loving You; I Remember You; and the iconic Aussie song 'I've Been Everywhere'.
This was also the year that my all time favourite songwriter Bob Dylan released his debut album - not that I knew it at the time. In fact it would take another 8 years before I would discover Dylan.
The Greenwich Village folk scene was getting a foothold in the commercial marketplace and this would be a destination I would visit in my musical journey in the not too distant future.
As far as ranking 1962, in the context of ranking the 63 years between 1960 - 2022, it would come in at #61 out of 63.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
We work very hard to ensure our site is as fast (and FREE!) as possible, and we respect your privacy.
