Far, far too many in that decade makes it impossible to narrow down, but here's a few favourites.

 

Keith West - Excerpt from a Teenage Opera

Pet Clark - A Sign of the Times

Richard Harris - MacArthur Park

Dusty - Some of Your Lovin

Bob Lind - Elusive Butterfly

Jefferson Airplane - Wooden Ships

Temps - Ball of Confusion

Bob Dylan - Positively 4th Street

Fire - Crazy World of Arthur Brown

Pink Floyd - See Emily Play

 

Sorry, but couldn't pick a single Beatles song! For the Stones probably I'd go for Gimme Shelter.

Ball of Confusion is a superb choice but released in 1970.
