3 Timeless Rock Songs From 1968 That Bring Back Memories of the Old Days

An article highlights three rock songs released in 1968 that it says have endured and can evoke memories of the era: The Beatles’ “Hey Jude”, The Doors’ “Hello, I Love You” and The Band’s “The Weight”. It points to their lasting musical appeal and chart success, while noting that “The Weight” became influential despite a modest chart position.

“Hey Jude” topped charts in the US, UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. “Hello, I Love You” reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK and European Top 40, though some fans criticised it as overly commercial. “The Weight”, from The Band’s debut album *Music From Big Pink*, peaked at No. 63 in the US but is described as influential in the growth of country and roots rock in the 1970s.
