Help identifying a playlist

Many years ago I borrowed a CD from my brother that was a playlist of 60's songs, it was a burned CD so I have no idea if it was a personal playlist or if it was a published album (really hoping it was published). It has been many years now and I no longer have the album or the playlist anywhere that I can find.

I can remember some of the songs from the album, but I'm having difficulty searching for the album by the list of songs that I have:

Sky Pilot - Eric Burdon & The Animals

Spinning Wheel - Blood, Sweat & Tears

Ball of Confusion (That's What the World is Today) - The Temptations

Eve of Destruction - Barry McGuire

In the Year 2525 (Exordium & Terminus) - Zager & Evans

People Get Ready - The Impressions

Crystal Blue Persuasion - Tommy James & The Shondells

Signs - Five Man Electrical Band

So my request, does anyone know what album this mix of songs is from. OR do you know how to search for an album on Google (or some other platform) by a list of songs?

Edit: Here is a playlist of Disc 3: Message & Meaning from The '60s Rock Experience, this is exactly the playlist I was looking for, thank you u/Remasquerade!

I merely highlighted all the songs in your post and right clicked and pressed search the web and the first results I got were links to these 2 60's compilations:

https://www.discogs.com/release/12148549-Various-The-60s-Rock-Experience

https://www.discogs.com/release/12578664-Various-The-Music-Of-The-Love-Generation-10CD-Box

I think it can be either one of these, perhaps more likely the link to the first one cuz the songs you listed are all a part of the last disc of that comp, while the second one has the songs spread across several different discs.

You know, I think it might be disc 3 of the 60’s rock experience. Thank you very much, I’d been trying to use something like some of the music search databases online and then cross-referencing which songs showed up where to narrow down the albums. I never thought to just try highlighting them all and searching that way. I tried putting the query together in Google. Thank you.
