As someone who lived through it I can tell you the Beatles changed everything. Listening to White Album & Sgt Peppers for the first time was awesome.
But not to forget the contribution made by these.
Bob Dylan, suddenly lyrics could mean something.
The Who or more Pete Townsend. Tommy is a masterpiece.
Pink Floyd, look at the sales of Dark Side and not a "Pop" record.
The Stones, Santana, Steppenwolf, The Who and Zepplin were all great live bands.
Clapton, Hendrix, Skynard, Alvin Lee, Page were all great guitarists.
Unfortunately I can hardly think of two bands formed after 75 who hold a candle to any of these. Any ideas why this was a Golden Time for music and now it's just dross?
