The 200 Greatest 60s Rock Songs, some of which topped the charts, were chosen because their stories are fascinating, funny, or surprising. And they're great songs.
Rock music is diverse and constantly evolving. Psychedelic rock, British Invasion, protest songs, horn rock, surf rock, Motown, garage rock, pop, blues rock, the San Francisco Sound, blue-eyed soul, folk rock, and more are all represented. The musicians, songwriters, and producers explain how they created the music.
Throughout are interviews conducted by the author with some of the musicians who made the 1960s such a fertile period of rock and roll, including Felix Cavaliere of the Rascals, Connie Francis, Tommy James, Robby Krieger of the Doors, Roger McGuinn of the Byrds, Bobby Rydell, and Mark Volman of the Turtles.
