This is (I think) all the music mentioned by name in the book, mostly in order.
- Alice’s Restaurant
- Eleanor Rigby (Michael is canonically the kind of person who would think this was a reasonable way to name a baby, even though I don’t think I specify this is how she got her name)
- Greensleeves (Susan is playing it on the guitar)
- Love is All Around
- The Lovin Spoonful (I think I just mention the band, but assume it’s Summer in the City)
- A Sailor’s Life (traditional ballad that Susan recorded; the Fairport Convention version is similar in mood)
- The Byrds
- Jefferson Airplane
- The Doors ( I just mention that a Doors album is on, but assume it’s People are Strange)
- Sunny Afternoon (Kinks)
- A Well Respected Man (Kinks)
- America (Simon and Garfunkel)
- Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window (Jimi Hendrix)
- Heart and Soul (on the piano)
- Unchained Melody
- Mr. Sandman
- Only You
- Que Sera Sera
- I Was Made to Love Her (Stevie Wonder)
- Motown (in general)
- Frank Sinatra (in general)
- Latin music on somebody’s radio, heard through the window
- Rolling Stones (I just mention that there’s a Stones album on the turntable)
- Jefferson Airplane (again)
- Hey Jude
- Once I Was (Tim Buckley)
- Little Green Apples
- Big Brother and the Holding Company (Iris likes Janis Joplin)
- One song I fail to mention is Those Were the Days, which felt too on the nose, but Mary Hopkin’s cover was wildly popular in the fall of 68 and I think it would have been playing everywhere
