I can't come up with a lot of '60's rock drinking songs, 'off the top of my head'...
Well, there's "Tequila", if you consider that rock...and I most definitely do...

What about death songs
Tell Laura I love Her, Deadman's curve, Terry, My Death
Horse songs
Champion the Wonder horse 50's I know, Rawhide,Chestnut Mare, The Horse
Mental health songs
They're coming to take me away ha ha
Going out of my head
In other words think of any topic and at some point there will have been a song about it

"The Horse": great tune...could be about a horse, I s'pose...never really thought about the ambiguity, but it might belong in the Purple Haze category...
Not to mention the category-defying "Grazin' In The Grass"...

More Death Songs (funny how they're a dime-a-dozen nowadays...):
"D.O.A." by...Bloodwyn Pig, I think? (Not sure if that's sixties or very early seventies)...
and, of course, "The Ballad Of The Green Beret", if you consider that rock...and I most definitely do...

Home renovations - "Right Said Fred".
"Itchycoo Park" probably belongs in the 'Drug' category.
Days of the Week songs - "Friday On My Mind", "Monday, Monday", "Wednesday's Child", "Saturday Night At The Movies"
Etc, etc.......

And also Stormy Monday. Aitch that's the best Monday blues song ever recorded.
Oh I know you had that catch all etc. etc. in there.

And "Never On Sunday", if you consider that rock...and I most definitely do...
What about "Love Is Blue"...is that a Love song or a Mental Health song?
For sure, "Do I Hear A Waltz?" is about Mental Health...

And so, in my opinion, is "Don't Sleep In The Subway"...

Death songs... aww... what about "birth songs"? "Little girl" by the Troggs springs to mind...
And they got some for mental health category as well... "Butterflies and bees"... oh wait... it must be more about "Purple haze"... or "Animal songs" (if you don't mind Roy, i'll "extend" the horses to animals in general...)
Week days: "Ruby Tuesday", "Wednesday morning, 3 am"...
What about "weather" songs? Albeit it might belong to "everyday problems" as well - as well as death, mental health...

I bump my head every morning, Dane. It's the only way I can get into first gear.
Stormy Monday doesn't ring a bell, Brian. Is there a definitive version/artist?

Every morning, eh? Sounds like an "everyday problem", Aitch...but don't feel bad: I am "Everyday People", too...maybe yer bell's just ringin' all the time...
The version of "Stormy Monday" you might be able to put your hands on right away would be that of Stevie Ray Vaughn...
