Music in 1960's

Music in the 1960's varied.Pink floyd was the first band to play psychedelic music. the "twist" was a popular song in the 1960's because it helped people let go the cold war tension. Also music back the consisted of long instrumental solo's and weird electronic effects. Etta james music seem to be popular to back in the 1960's. In 1961 Etta james at last was a real big success some people say it was because people felt like the world was changing and becoming something different and beautiful. Others simply say it was because it was just a good song. The beatles was popular two back then for there music, their music was mainly about having peace or finding peace. That was a good thing about their music because hippies was very big in the 1960's.I think music in the 60's was very important to have, because of going through so much and needing something that you could hear and enjoy, that can get you through hard times.

  1. Also included in the 1960s was The British Invasion; it was a very successful movement during the mid-1960s in which several bands in the UK were creating a buzz in the United States. The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Animals, and The Beatles were some of the good bands that played music during this time. The Beatles was the most popular and they are also one of the most bands in history in terms of success. They began a trend in the United States and the UK because of their nice tunes and there fashion.
