The 1960’s Were A Very Turbulent Time In Our Nation’s History.
Compared to today, think of it as 3 times the chaos, with no social media! There was, however, social change. From the fight for equal rights for minorities to the fight for equal rights for women, the Cold War, the generation gap, the war raging in Vietnam, and more. The 1960s were defined by change in America. No more so than in the world of music. Artists like the Beatles and Bob Dylan gave direction to a generation confused about where they belonged. It all came to a head one August weekend in upstate New York, at the famed Woodstock Music & Arts Festival at Bethel Woods.
Once You Get Through The ’60s, Check Out These One Hit Wonders Of The ’70s!
Not all the music was life-changing or decade-defining, however. Some songs like the the ones on our groovy list of One Hit Wonder Rock Songs Of The 60s, are just fun novelty songs. Others were written to be as impactful protest anthems as songs from the Beatles, Dylan, The Stones, or Crosby Stills Nash, and Young, but just didn’t have the staying power of those artists, for whatever reason.
One song on this list has gone on to be a well-known novelty hit generations over. Another has been covered by legendary bands like The Who, and Rush. Still, another is heard today in sports stadiums across the country. Nope, our One Hit Wonder Rock Songs Of The 60’s have staying power in their way. These artists might not be remembered for their long catalog of hits, but they are at least remembered once. Now that’s groovy man, so let’s turn it up!
