The 60s

In this tag you will find all the entries dedicated to the music of the 60s, the best groups of the decade and other types of lists for lovers of the genres of these 10 years. From the British invasion to soul, folk, crooners and much more. From black music to ye-ye girls. In short, all the great changes in culture, politics and fashion reflected in music.

Because, between second-wave feminism and the assassinations of important world leaders like John F. Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, Malcolm X or Martin Luther King Jr., this tumultuous decade had a direct connection to the way people chose to express themselves through music.

The counterculture in the United States is well known, where the 1960s were one of the most tumultuous in modern history, marked by the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War and anti-war protests, political assassinations, and the emerging “generation gap” between hippies and gentlemen. All of this would cross borders and even cross the pond, although it was the British who took the plunge with The Beatles, or so the sales of their records and singles indicate.

In Spain, on the other hand, in the 60s we lived through a period of political opening that gave way to the arrival of foreign tourists and new sounds very close to those that sounded in pop from France and the United Kingdom, with a lot of female voices that occupied during these years the first positions in the sales charts with songs that were successful in many countries translated into their corresponding languages.

Are you a rocker or a mod? Maybe mocker?
