The Sounds of The Times: Music and Society in the 1960s

Abstract

This is a study of the reciprocal influence of rock 'n' roll music and the movements of the 1960s. Focusing on three major movements, namely the civil rights movement, the anti-Vietnam War movement and the counterculture movement (concentrating on psychedelia), this document demonstrates how rock 'n' roll was influenced by these movements and vice versa.
