what was music like in the 60's?
Some of the music of the 1960’s really was the definition of rebellion or the standing up to the establishment culture. Protest songs written and performed by the artists themselves “God On Our Side”and “Blowin' in the Wind” Bob Dylan, “I Ain't Marching Anymore” Phil Ochs, “Universal Soldier” Buffy Sainte-Marie, “A Change is Gonna Come” Sam Cooke, and “Give Peace A Chance” John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band. The words put to the music giving everybody a message which we all would sing along to.
Looking back through blurred glasses we see an explosion of color, images of youth Jean Shrimpton, Twiggy, Mick Jagger and of course the Beatles all expressing an exuberance and panache which we later related to the sixties decade.
Some of the best rock songs of all time because that was the beginning of rock and roll. In 1960, The Beatles, John Lennon, Bob Dylan, The Rascals, Rolling Stones, Led, Zeppelin, Beach Boys, Jackson 5, Four Tops, Zombies, The Who, Doors, and Dion all started to come out with rock music. It was basically a rock and roll breakthrough. Parents hated it and called it "noise". Everyone (mostly teenagers-high school students) would go to rock concerts and buy rock records and listen to it at parties and stuff. It was when a new genre of music was started.
