SoTier Posted March 19 Posted March 19 I find it interesting that a thread about "The 60s Music" doesn't mention Bob Dylan whose folk songs became anthems for the civil rights and anti-war movements or the Beatles who had a profound influence on American music, including sparking the "British Invasion" of the US music.

The problem with the Beatles is that they wrote so many excellent songs in different styles that it is impossible to select one representing the full spectrum of their music. Perhaps the closest to a consensus, at least among professional critics, "A Day In The Life". My personal favorites (probably not shared by many), "Hey Bulldog"... ...and "The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill" (this one mostly because of the lyrics). Quote

Perhaps they go without mentioning because everyone knows how influential these artists were. Quote

Frickin awesome period for music as the 80's were getting blown out of the water. I'd go in off-shift just to listen through zillions of albums in total bliss. I'm a bit earlier on the 60's- maybe '64-'68 for the excitement phase, with '67 just hitting a beautiful pinnacle. Definitely still great stuff heading into the early 70's, but the rawness and thrill was starting to get more bloated and distorted to me. Not trying to get down on any period- there's been great stuff in every decade... including the 80''s and the 50's. Speaking of bloated, yet thrilling: 1 Quote

And that band just hasn't come up yet. If you want to see a music thread explode check out the "songs with a persons name" thread. Quote
