1960s

The 1960s marked a revolutionary decade in rock music, with bands that redefined culture and sound. The Beatles led the British Invasion and changed pop and rock forever with their innovative songwriting and studio experimentation. The Rolling Stones brought raw blues-rock energy, while The Who and The Kinks added aggression and theatrical flair. In the U.S., The Beach Boys crafted lush harmonies and complex arrangements, and bands like Jefferson Airplane and The Doors pushed psychedelic and countercultural boundaries. This era laid the foundation for modern rock, fusing rebellion, creativity, and mass appeal like never before.
