The 1960s

Okay, after last week, here is a quick introduction to the sixties.

*It is an incomplete list and yes, I have probably missed the best*

You see? I must defend myself!

Ladies, you will find, if you fall into conversation about the sixties, that everything becomes personal and polemic about this decade. Quickly. You had to make political and social judgements and be prepared to defend them.

Does that seem radical?

Know that any conversation about music from the sixties (especially with the old folks like Big Bro) is a similar minefield of opinion, judgement, scorn, and recommendation.

Then someone will end it all with, I blame the sixties.

Joni Mitchell
Bob Dylan
Rolling Stones
The Animals
The Kinks
The Monkees (I'm sorry, I had to put them in)
Traffic
Creedence Clearwater Revival (one of Big Bro's favourites)
The Hollies
Pink Floyd
The Who (I daren't leave them off)
The Move (I have to stop this list; it will become ridiculously lengthy)

Go off and find your favourite. Plenty to choose from.
