I guess it’s all a matter of taste, but it seems as though the most daring, inventive and engaging music came from the sixties and amazingly that music was in the mainstream, topping charts and being heard by everyone.
Although we weren’t there, it seems as though in those days there was a lot of post war optimism and posterity, a lot of new things to discover and try out and a lot old attitudes to speak out against … like imperialism, segregation, class, etc.
As well as the great bands of the decade like the Beatles, Hollies, Stones, Small Faces, etc many of the best seventies bands like Yes, Floyd, Zeppelin and Rush had started making great music.
So here’s to the sixties…
Having said all that - don't know about the dancing :-)
