The whole appeal of the sixties sound is the merging of harmony and cacophony for an interesting, full bodied sound. It's the grit, lust, emotion, and darkness of the blues, mixed with the sweet innocence of old school pop. It's a driving beat that is equally at home in the dance hall as it is in the bedroom, as well as in back alley brawls. It's The Beatles holding your hand, and then ditching you when they see someone better standing there. It's The Kinks asking you to set them free, then having fun with you all day and all of the night.
Try some songs like Je N'attens Plus Personne by Francoise Hardy, The Hurtin' Kind by The Bittersweets, Sweet and Tender Romance by The McKinleys, and Laisser Tomber les Filles by France Gall, and maybe you'll start to warm up to The Like (pretty sure you're already down with Hardy, but I'm guessing you prefer her later work).

It's true that I like Hardy. I don't know much about her discography as a whole, I pretty much just have these 5 albums:
I especially like the second one in that row.
When it comes to 50's and 60's vocal pop of varying descriptions, it's quite possible there would be some things that I could like, but generally, those genre areas tend not to be my thing.
I'm finding exceptions in most genres, really.
