This 59-track, triple-disc anthology was loosely inspired by Public Television's examination of the turbulent '60s. Thus its three chapters ("The Vietnam Backbeat"/"There'll Be a 'Love-In' There"/"Message & Meaning") come not only organized around historical themes rather than musical ones, but focus almost exclusively on the decade's closing, Vietnam-war dominated third. Thus the only genuine artifacts from the Beatles-led British Invasion era (the movement that arguably defined much of the decade's music in one way or another) are the Kinks' proto-metal classic "You Really Got Me," Texan Bobby Fuller's roots-rousing answer to the shaggy Englishmen then dominating the charts, "I Fought the Law." Yet there's still enough leeway within that scope to showcase the era's rich eclecticism. Indeed, "rock" is a very loose term to describe a collection that includes classic soul (The Temptations, Jr. Walker, Percy Sledge and Martha and the Vandellas), sunny pop (Tommy James, The Monkees, Association), nascent psychedelia (Jefferson Airplane, Iron Butterfly, Strawberry Alarm Clock) and rootsy folk-rock (The Byrds, Grateful Dead). It's also a tribute to both a spirit of boundless musical possibilities and an inclusive, long-gone radio era where all of these disparate styles could and did thrive literally side-by-side. --Jerry McCulley

Album Description

59 hits from the decade that put the message in music!

The '60s were the most turbulent decade of the 20th century, with the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War, and the sexual revolution all upsetting the status quo that had settled in during the Eisenhower era. Luckily, turmoil makes for great music, and the artists of the `60s rose to the challenge by putting messages—of anger and fear, happiness and peace—into their music. The '60s Rock Explosion, a companion piece to the hit PBS special, collects some of the most memorable songs from that magical era into a blast from the past that still has the power to move us today.

Journey to the center of your mind.......2007-03-25

This CD digs pretty deep and doesn't just repeat what's on (and on and on and on!) classic rock radio stations. Good variety, good sound quality.

I like it!.......2007-02-17

I don't like to think too much about this stuff. No over-analyzing here. When I'm cruising down the road in my Mini-Van....this music takes me away from work and other nagging issues. Good tunes. Worthy of cranking up and testing the factory speakers.

Still waters run deep,... but not necessarily do the rapids.......2005-04-30

Ultimately a companion piece to the TV mini-series about the 60's,this collection of music treads rather familiar ground duplicated in one fashion or another on numerous other collections/compiliations (albiet with improved sound).

For the sake of brevity it is a quick way of purchasing a sampling of the mainstream music that dominated the Era, but falls way short of making any kind of definitive statement. The breakdown of the 3 cds into "themes" (ahem) is really quite arbitrary if anyone who live during that period examines the choices (frm 1960-1970 I was 8-18 yrs old,moving frm Ohio to San Francisco during the summer of love).

It seems the designers of this package emphasize Vietnam as a dominant "theme" (ahem) for at least 2 of the 3 disks...excluding other possible choices to focus on. In our age of terrorism and warfare in Iraq it seems too easy an association for convienience sake.

Other themes of equal importance (arguably), and perhaps a more interesting theme listing might include; The British Invasion, The Underground Scene, Consciousness Experimentation (non-drug), Consciousness Expansion (drug), Counter-culture kitsch, The Advent of FM radio,...to name a few. Sure,some of these tracks apply,but only in a radio friendly (MOR+AM) sense.

Nothing here really ventures into challenging territory, and if anything, challenge and confrontation were the essence of this Era besides the incense'n peppermints.
If only 1 track adventurously broke the 2-3min time restaints I'd of added a star.
Sure, I'm not expecting the full length 'Inna-godda-davita' of Iron Butterfly, but I'd a been more than thrilled with the full Chambers Brother's 'Time Has Come Today'.

Bottom line: this is The 60's Experience for the lazy. Seek and you shall find, better collections are out there. PEACE

Superb Collection.......2005-04-21

Nobody who lived through the 60s could fail to be moved and taken back by this collection!! It seriously kicks. Both the selections and the order of presentation are excellent. I would highly recommend this set to anybody who was of high school and/or college age during the period and particularly if you were both like me. The 60s was a seriously unique time that deserves the reflection this wonderful collection evokes.

Not full length songs.......2005-03-23

Just got this 3 set (CDs). (March 2005). Rip off if you are expecting full length songs....
