A time of transition and change from their parents' music of the 40s and 50s. Think Beatles, Cream, Janis Joplin, Iron Butterfly, Jimi Hendrix - these were the trend-setters of a new style of music. Part Jazz, part Classical plus tribal beats and new harmonies; something different and a bit defiant, loud and impossible to ignore. What's now considered Classic Rock grew from Elvis, the British Invasion and ethnic rhythms into a new genre. --rgouldtx
