Counterculture/social revolution
Younger generations soon began to rebel against the conservative norms of the time, as well as disassociate themselves from mainstream liberalism. This created a counter-culture that eventually turned into a social revolution throughout much of the western world. It began in the United States as a reaction against the conservative social norms of the 1950s, the political conservatism (and social repression) of the Cold War period, and the US government's extensive military intervention in Vietnam. The main group from the movement were called hippies. Together they created a new liberated stance for society, including the Sexual Revolution, questioning authority and government, and demanding more freedoms and rights for women, gays, and minorities. The movement was marked by drug use (LSD, and marijuana), and psychedelic music.
Anti-war movement
A mass movement began rising in opposition to the Vietnam War, ending in the massive Moratorium protests in 1969, and also the movement of resistance to conscription (“the Draft”) for the war. The antiwar movement was initially based on the older 1950s Peace movement heavily influenced by the American Communist Party, but by the mid-1960s it outgrew this and became a broad-based mass movement centered on the universities and churches: one kind of protest was called a "sit-in." Other terms included the Draft, draft dodger, conscientious objector, and Vietnam vet. Voter age-limits were challenged by the phrase: "If you're old enough to die for your country, you're old enough to vote." ~~
Civil rights
Stimulated by this movement, but growing beyond it, were large numbers of student-age youth, beginning with the Free Speech Movement at the University of California, Berkeley in 1964, peaking in the riots at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago and reaching a climax with the shootings at Kent State University in 1970, which some claimed as proof that "police brutality" was rampant. The terms were: "The Establishment" referring to traditional management/government, and "pigs" referring to police using excessive force.
New left
The rapid rise of a "New Left" applied the class perspective of Marxist to postwar America, but had little organizational connection with older Marxist organizations such as the Communist Party, and even went as far as to reject organized labor as the basis of a unified left-wing movement. The New Left consisted of ephemeral campus-based Trotskyist, Maoist and anarchist groups, some of which by the end of the 1960s had turned to militancy.

CAPTAIN BEEFHEART AND HIS MAGIC BAND
Strangely entertaining.
BLIND FAITH
Consisted of four brilliant musicians:
Ginger Baker, Eric Clapton, Ric Grech, and Stevie Winwood
THE BAND
Started out as Dylan's backing band and consisted of:
Robbie Robertson, Richard Manuel,
Garth Hudson, Rick Danko and Levon Helm
THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE
with Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell, crossed over
into new musical territory, as we all know, and left us
with a mind-bending permanent streak in our gray matter.
JETHRO TULL
Initially, they were a strange kind of blues band.
The first musicians were: Mick Abrahams,
Glen Cornick, Clive Bunker and Ian Anderson
THE ZOMBIES
A successful English band consisting of Rod Argent,
Colin Blunstone, Paul Atkinson, Chris White and Hugh Grundy
THE DOORS
Jim Morrison certainly made a dent in my brain mass.
THE BYRDS
Formed in 1964 with Roger McGuinn,
Chris Hillman, Gene Clark, David Crosby
and Michael Clark.
How musically historical can you get?
THE YARDBIRDS
BIG BROTHER AND THE HOLDING COMPANY
Formed in San Francisco by Peter Albin, Sam Andrew,
James Gurley and Chuck Jones. Then Janis was added.
JONI MITCHELL
Joni's folksy, comfortable, natural look
suited her and her music. She's an amazing songwriter.
CROSBY, STILLS, AND NASH
They had an immediate impact as well as a lasting one.
JOE COCKER AND MAD DOGS AND ENGLISHMEN
The musicians included Leon Russell, Chris Stainton,
Don Preston, Jim Gordon, Jim Keltner,
Chuck Blackwell, Sandy Konikoff, Bobby Torres,
Jim Price and Bobby Keys.
The Choir members were Rita Coolidge,
Claudia Lennear,Daniel Moore, Donna Weiss,
Pamela Polland, Matthew Moore, Donna Washburn, Nicole Barclay and Bobby Jones
TRACY NELSON AND MOTHER EARTH
At seventeen years old, Tracy was one of
the greatest white vocalists then, as she still is today.
'LOVE'
They were probably Hollywood's signature
band. We claimed them as our own and
treated them like royalty.
ELTON JOHN
His first American album with Your Song,
No Shoestrings for Louise, Take Me to The Pilot--
I used to blast that album till the windows shook
while I cleaned my house. Funny, how I still do that.
Musicians were: Diana Lewis, Paul Buckmaster, Elton,
Bernie Taupin, Gus Dudgeon, Caleb Quaye, Steve Brown
FRED NEIL
Relatively unknown to most people, but not
to my neighbors back in the sixties.
BONNIE AND DELANEY AND FRIENDS
"I've got a never ending love for them, too"
Rita Coolidge, Bobby Keys, Jim Price,
Carl Radle, Jim Gordon, Bobby Whitlock,
Eric Clapton, George Harrison, and Dave Mason
were Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett's "friends"
THEM
Greatest verson of "It's All Over Now Baby Blue"
TRAFFIC
JOHN KAY AND STEPPENWOLF
along with Goldy McJohn, Michael Monarch,
Jerry Edmonton and Rushton Moreve.
PRETTY THINGS
Even their music wasn't pretty,
but it kicked ass.
BLUE CHEER
Dickie Peterson, Ralph, Holden, Paul Whaley
JOHN MAYALL
An icon, still going strong.
MANFRED MANN
ELVIN BISHOP
SMALL FACES
Ron Wood, Ronnie Lane, Kenney Jones, Rod Stewart
and Ian McLagan. Check out Ian's website: macspages.com
KINKS
VAN MORRISON
"Van the Man"
CREAM
MOODY BLUES
Original members: Ray Thomas, Graeme Edge,
Mike Pinder, Denny Laine, Clint Warwick
What would music sound like today without their influence?
Taj Mahal
Band: Chuck Blackwell, Bill Boatman,
Sandi Konikoff, Gary Gilmore, Jesse "Ed" Davis
THE BEE GEES
Those first albums were creative masterpieces.
ARETHA
THE ANIMALS
Eric Burdon, John Steel, Hilton Valentine,
Chas Chandler, Alan price
THE BEATLES
I bet I still have scorch marks deep in the center
of my cerebrum, from The White Album.
Buffalo Springfield
Richie Furay, Stephen Stills, Neil Young,
Bruce Palmer, Dewey Martin, Jimmy Messina
THE GROUPIES
Way ahead of their time.
They could have been rock icons.
TERRY REID
I will never forget that guy's voice--
absolutely incredible. Why he's not a household
word, I will never understand.
His voice could pierce right through you, boomerang
off the walls, and whiz back through again. He had
the most powerful, unforgettable voice
I've ever heard.
THE ROLLING STONES
Once the fathers, now the grandfathers of
rock and roll. I'm sure you could hear harmonious
zipper sounds all over Hollywood the day this
album was released.
JANIS JOPLIN
She's worth a second mention.
BIG BROTHER AND THE HOLDING COMPANY
with guess who?--Janis again.
CANNED HEAT
Canned Heat cooked at the Whisky.
Led Zep
That band was our musical fodder.
We had to have our daily rations of Led Zep.
CREDENCE CLEARWATER
Famous last words from a friend of mine:
"That band sucks! They won't last long.
SPENCER DAVIS GROUP
I brought Spencer home with me one night
so I have privileged memories for "I'm a Man"
DYLAN
What hasn't been said?
JOHN HAMMOND
This is one of my favorite albums of all time.
The side men on this album were:
Artie Butler, Rick Danko, Leonard Feather,
Jimmy Lewis, Charles 'Honeyman' Otis,
Robbie Robertson, and Bill Wyman.
SPIRIT
Formed in 1967 by Randy "California" Wolfe.
Jay Ferguson, Mark Andes
SMOKESTACK LIGHTNING
The vocalist, Ron Darling, had a blues "growl"
that was exceptional for a blonde white boy
VANILLA FUDGE
ELECTRIC PRUNES
The mighty Prunes were underrated by
everyone but us. The members were:
James Lowe, Mark Tulin, Ken Wiliams,
"Weasel" Spagnola. Michael Weakley, drummer
pictured in the photo on left, was replaced by
Preston Ritter in the right photo. Kenny Loggins
was in the band briefly in 1968.
THE WHO
Proud to be a member of "My Generation"
Badfinger, the Eagles, Kiss, Heart, Rush, The Who, The Doors, Uriah Heep, Deep Purple, Bob Marley as well as his band, The Wailers
