Comment:

The beauty of '60s rock is the fact it was all over the map, an aural "Magic Carpet Ride" emanating from the tiny transistor radio under your pillow. Emerging from the innocent Brill Building girl group sounds, classic AM Top 40 was never better than just before and after the British Invasion, when regional novelty nuggets ("Wild Thing," "Wooly Bully") coexisted with heavy slabs of psych ("Purple Haze," "In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida") and generational anthems ("Like a Rolling Stone," "For What's It's Worth," "Sounds of Silence"). From sex to drugs to revolution, these songs mark a moment when music was both medium and message.
