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.
