Do you prefer ?
Obviously there were massive changes in music styles from the early sixties to the psychedelic weirdness of the flower power years, no bands work shows this more than The Beatles, from the suit wearing, black & white, 3 minute pop songs of Please Please Me and Hard Days Night to the multi coloured drug influenced crazy world of Sgt Pepper which one could say were much more inventive and creative.
But looking back now, which do you think were the best of the 60's

Well, I am not very knowledgeable on the sixties apart from the Beatles (!) but I tens to prefer the early stuff, like say 1960-1967 or even just up to 65? I think music such as Lonnie Donnegan (sp?) was in the early sixties... I like that: crazy, colourful anf fun.

Ah yeah, Lonnie, early 60's and the skiffle craze, I think he inspired a lot of people, I remember my older brother being in a skiffle group, homemade instruments ......lots of mothers lost their washboards  |

Washboards!  Yes, I did read about that (something to do with how John Lennon started). Love this one: |

It's all good, but music and pop culture in general took huge strides forward - and sideways - in the mid to late 60's. Most interesting to me. |

The late sixties are the time I actually remember so that's my favorite. I was very young but I remember quite a bit about the culture, at least what a kid under the age 7 can grasp. There was always lots of music in our house and I liked staying up and watching TV shows like Laugh-In and the Smothers Brothers with the family. My mom always said that I was afraid I'd miss something and that's true! I was lucky to have an older sister and brother who spent a lot of time with me. Lots of good memories with a great soundtrack.I always went back to that music, no matter what my friends were listening to.

1965, 1966, 1967, the level of creativity of those three years was unique.

I just love it all, I really like the early suit wearing sixties with more simplistic music, I like early R & B by The Yardbirds, The Pretty Things, & the blues of John Mayall, who later spawned Cream & Fleetwood Mac, loved bands like The Searchers, Animals, Kinks, Merseybeats, Spencer Davies...... and then there was all the great Soul music of the 60's, then prog rock with King Crimson, Moody Blues, its all just fantastico |

Yes, the whole decade was great, but during those three years several new styles of music appeared, they were a solid base for everything to come after. I think music never changed as much as during those years. |
