Most of the essential albums of my childhood are Beatles, with some Paul Simon and Don Henley tossed in. But the Mamas and the Papas too; the song "Dancing Bear" frequently gets played on repeat when I'm trying to write.
I have a Peter, Paul and Mary favorite, too: "Day is Done." That's the song I listen to whenever I really need to believe that the world can be made into a better place than it is.
(I sat next to Peter Yarrow on a plane once, or more accurately next to his wife while he slept in the window seat. She and I chatted up a storm; I only found out later who they were, which is perhaps just as well!)
