The first rock song I remember was Three Dog Night Joy To The World[^], I was a wee 5 years old.

To this day I have a soft spot for that tune. They indeed had some great songs.

Nice, my son (now 18) is just now interested in vinyl, I've been showing and playing him my albums since birth, seems like my hard work is beginning to pay off.

My sister (born 1955) got a real kick as an adult when she listened to the Beat-less (why where they called that - they certainly had the beat?) She loves you[^]"She loves you", discovered that the song actually had a verse, not just the refrain? The lyrics certainly is above par for its time. The harmonics are not the very most sophisticated delivered by The Beatles, a magnitude above her memory of the "yeah, yeah, yeah"-refrain from twenty years earlier.

The Beatles were the first rock I really got into, I would listen to them for hours, kinda worried my mother. Little did she know what I would listen to when I got older. I still love the Beatles.

I certainly remember the song, but this recording/artist is unfamiliar. I don't think it would have turned up as my favorite in those days - or today. I wish I knew who made the recording of my childhood!

Got it in 5, but after try 3 I had 4 green letters and 5 possible words ... had to post a word I knew it wasn't going to be to eliminate options!
Spoiler: highlight the following for my guesses:
AEROS Yellow A
PLAIN Yellow A
MATCH GREEN A, T,C, & H
Bugger. That leaves me BATCH, CATCH, GATCH, HATCH, and WATCH
BEWIG Yellow W - If it had been all grey, then I have two options left: CATCH and HATCH with two slots open.
WATCH All green.

Well done! 
I was trying to work back from that to the words you tried, but it's too much for my puny brain ... too many combinations!

Got it in 3!
First guess identified two correct letters in the wrong locations.
Next guess, the same two letters in (different) wrong locations.
Third try was the charm!

Same here, and it took me six. I'll say no more for now.

I got it in 2 - for the first time ever!

Difficult to enforce ... Too easy to "cheat", particularly if you have a PC and a phone I think.
