re: 60's music: Better musicianship?

With regard to the so-called "cultural significance of the 60s music," ummmm no. That's liberal revisionist history

So the music of Dylan, Lennon and others had no impact on the youth movement to get out of Vietnam? OK.

I know it pains your Pat Boone sensibilities to accept what happened, but que sera sera.

To the OP... I don't know if the musicianship was better or worse, but it was certainly a time of experimentation. Be it Phil Spector's Wall of Sound, Brian Wilson's marriage of Four Freshmen and Chuck Berry or his Pet Sounds evolution with The Wrecking Crew, to the birth of Heavy Metal, Funk, etc.

It's amazing to consider where music (and culture) was on January 1st, 1960 to where it ended on December 31st, 1969.

As a fan of music I enjoy all of it, but the sea change in the 1960s set the tone for everything after.
