- Mr. Spaceman. The Byrds -Mr Spaceman( studio TV 1966) By 1966, The Byrds had already progressed from their folk-rock kick-off point to pure psychedelic bliss, and on 'Mr Spaceman' they started edging towards a touch of country, too.
- Ballad of Easy Rider. The Byrds: Ballad of Easy Rider. 'The Ballad of Easy Rider' was first recorded as a solo track by Roger McGuinn for the era-defining Easy Rider movie, but a full version by The Byrds came out a couple of months later.
- I’ll Feel a Whole Lot Better. I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better Byrds Stereo HiQ Hybrid JARichardsFilm 720p. 'I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better' was originally a B-side to The Byrds second single (a cover of Bob Dylan's 'All I Really Want to Do'), but emerged as a hit in its own right, too, and made its way on to the band's first album.
- So You Want to Be a Rock ‘n’ Roll Star. THE BYRDS 1967 - So You Want To Be A Rock n Roll Star. Written by McGuinn with Chris Hillman, 'So You Want To Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star' is a probably not-entirely-fair jab at The Monkees and their prefab origins ("And with your hair swung right / And your pants too tight, it's gonna be all right").

We open our Top 10 Byrds Songs list with this cool track from the Easy Rideralbum. Although the album shared the name as the classic film that was just released simultaneously, it had nothing to do with the movie except for the title song. The song is a cover of a traditional Christian hymn. The Byrds’ vocal performance on the song against a very s...
The great Byrds song “Long Live The King” was released on the band’s final album, Byrds, in 1973. David Crosby wrote the song. The song was released as the b-side to the singles “Cowgirl in the Sand” and Full Circle. The song opens immediately with that very familiar David Crosby vocal sound. This one is dark, gritty, and very much underrated. Echo...
The Byrds song “Glory, Glory” was released on the band’s 1971 album Byrdmaniax.The song “Glory, Glory” was the album’s opening track. The song was also released as a single. The song was unable to break into the Billboard Hot 100 as the song peaked at number 110.
Our favorite Byrds album featured the wonderful track “Wasn’t Born To Follow.” The song was one of two songs on the album written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin. The songs were featured in the film Easy Rider, which starred Peter Fonda and Jack Nicholson. Carole King’s original band, The City, also covered the song. Dusty Springfieldalso did a fab...
On an album that features many blockbuster hits, one of our favorite songs was one of the most ignored. The outstanding track “It’s No Use” sneaks in at six on our top 10 Byrds songs list. The song was released on the band’s third album entitled Mr. Tambourine Man. “It’s No Use” was written by Gene Clark and Jim McGuinn.
The song “Lady Friend” was initially released by the Byrds as a single between records. David Crosby wrote the beautiful song. The song was intended to be issued on The Notorious Byrd Brothers album but was left off due to David Crosby’s issues with the band before getting fired.
This is possibly the most popular song The Byrds ever released. When most fans are asked to name a Byrds song, “Turn! Turn! Turn!” is the one they will mention. The song was released on the album of the same name in 1965. The song was written by Pete Seeger, who borrowed lyrics from the Book of Ecclesiastes. As famous as the song was, it never brok...
As we close in on the number one spot on our top 10 Byrds songs list, we turn to a great song written by Chris Hillman. The excellent track “Have You Seen Her Face” was released on the album Younger Than Yesterday in 1968. The song was released as the third single from the album Younger Than Yesterday. As a single, “Have You Seen Her Face” broke in...
These next two spots are interchangeable, in our opinion. The great Byrds’ classic song “Eight Miles High” was released on the album Fifth Dimension in 1966. The song was written by Gene Clark, Jim McGuinn, and David Crosby. The song opened up side two of the record. It has become one of the most essential songs of the 1960s and remains a symbol of...
While “Mr. Tambourine Man” is not much of a surprise in the number one spot on our top 10 Byrds songs list, including “Going Back” in the tie probably is. Nonetheless, “Going Back,” is probably the most underrated song the band ever released. Its soaring melody and brilliant compositions deserve to be rated this high, in our humble opinion.
