yeah i am young......not born in the 60s....pshha im only 15.....anyways there neads to be a thread for 60s rock....so have fun!!

im only 16 n i like 60's music...... i think good music came frm the 60's anyways same with 50's music....

whats everyones fav 60's band?

yeah.....i think so too......they are like an instant happy!!! same with 50s music

ill havta say The Doors......but then their is The Beatles.....my myspace says that..

i think the beatles is my fav band ever

The Beatles - The definition of rock. Forever!
Black Sabbath - Never liked them...
Led Zeppelin - Legendary band!

But talking about 50's as well, there is nothing better than a tune of Chuck Berry once in a while!

Black Sabbath and Led Zepplin are more 70's bands, not 60's.

You're right, but i think they started in around 1969.

random Jim Morrison fact in 1969 he got arrested for public exposure!! i have no clue why i put that.....

ok lol .....

My point.
There is a whole debate on who is the first true "rock" band, Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin. One of them was formed before than the other (1967) but the other got an album out earlier before the other (1968).
I forgot which is which.

so that makes them a 60's band?

it really shouldn't

I really like 60s music: Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and all the other obvious names, plus a few I can't recall right now

then i guess black sabbath can be an 60s band!!!

The Kinks OMFG they rock that is all!!!

well not exactly...They're basically a 70's band. Technically they started in the late 60's, but that's about it.

The Doors!!!!!!!

I seriously wish I was alive at the 60s. not just alive but like, there. I wish I experienced the 60s, I mean. would have been the most fricken awesomest thing in the world. I would have been such a hippy!! lmfao. the doors and the beatles and led zep I love. and not just the music but the almost everything!!
er yeah, and im 15 too. hmmnn now I dont feel so young.

Velvet Underground, Nico, Pink Floyd... God I love the 60's.

as long as you don't say that the Doors are a hippy band, we're okay

Yeah, I wish lived in the 60's.
the Velvet Underground, The Who, Beatles, Strawberry Alarm Clock, Soft Machine, Cream, all that good stuff.

The Kinks > the rest of the 60's bands.

I love the Kinks! ...and alot of the british invasion..

Oh, yeah I forgot The Kinks! Damn, they are very good band.

I love the Kinks. A lot of power chords, but that's how they go for it. Grunge rock. I love it.

The Beatles are pretty much damn awesome. Yup.

(To step ahead a couple years, Pink Floyd, Led Zepp, and some other names come up as great bands)

the 60s was the best time for music ( that's my point of view of course ) but you know all the brand new bands are inspired by the old bands like the beatles, the kinks, the rolling stones ... look the vines before they played the kinks ! and you know know as well as me that craig loves the beatles ! seriously that was the best time for music but now with some bands like the vines it becomes one of the best time for music

couldnt be said better....the 60s were the best time for music..i mean it opened doors too many awesome bands ......like you said....truely thats what im looking for in a band..is the respect for the 60s

i think 60's music, made music what it is today...
eg The Kinks song "all day and all night" people say that was the first heavy metal riff...

yes soo true.....and it made other decades of rock good too ...i mean look at the eighties....like soixsie and the banshees... tthey did a remake of the Prudence by the beatles.....WAY OF TOPIC but yeah

thanks but i said what i thought !

Love.

Every generation should be looking forward in time, not backwards....

Everyone's so caught up in nostalgia, an forgetting that they can never truly relive that time, that they're completely neglecting the fact that they haven't really defined their own generation yet. I swear, who now has the same artistic strageness, yet is as lovable as Jim Morrison? Where's our Jimi Hendrix? Who has the same political impact as Bob Dylan? Who's as active as Janis Joplin once was?

They're all too busy working the capitalist machine....

Yes, but the music of the 60's/70's....(for the most part)...was MUCH better then most of todays crap.
I only like a VERY small handfull of todays bands, while i like shit loads of bands from yesteryear.
That should tell you something, ehhhh???

I do agree that we should have an appreciation for history, music-wise or other...

but, there's a fine line....and I think the majority of people are blindly crossing it

Probably cause for the most part, todays music sucks! Its all a throw-back to the 60's/70's. Most all the artists are influenced by that time period, and many bands/songs sound very yesteryear. Even the way they dress and their hairstyles are shades of the 60's/70's. Obviously those were the best years music-wise.

Well, if we think that today's music sucks, people should change that by making better music....

Can't do it, if they aint got it in them. Very few REAL talanted musicians these days.

therein lies the problem....

talent

Exactly! VERY few has it!

1) isn't technology great?

2) isn't it possible for great music to have an ugly face? I mean, admit it, we do have beauty standards along with music standards, now....they didn't back in the times you said were good in the 70s and especially in the 60s

You mean were they ugly back then?

some were, yes.....

...like Jim Croce. Not very pretty, but his music was phenomenal, his lyrics, too...

Yeah, MOST were ugly back then. But that didnt matter. It's the music that counts.
I mean, its nice when they can be good looking, but its not about that......

tell that to the millions of very shallow people

Pink Floyd arn't a 60's band though. I means, yes, they have a few albums in the 60s, but they only really made it big in he 70's.

Okay okay you're right but they did start in the 60's.

Anyway, all the 60's bands are great ! (compared to the 80's it was a hard time for music you know!)

I can't believe no one else has mentioned Love. What's wrong with you?

Nothing's wrong with me , but Love ... i dunno this band, sorry

You need to. Get Forever Changes.
