Подробнее о видео

Rediscover the hidden rock anthems of the 1960s that shaped music history but quietly faded from the mainstream. While the sixties brought us legendary hits from giants like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Jimi Hendrix, countless other tracks laid the groundwork for the future of rock and roll. These songs may not headline every playlist today, but their influence is unmistakable in garage rock, punk, psychedelic sounds, and more. Join us as we dive into ten forgotten tracks from the sixties that truly shaped a generation—one overlooked chord at a time.

We kick things off with “Dirty Water” by The Standells, a gritty anthem that captured the raw spirit of Boston’s underground scene and pioneered the rebellious garage rock sound. Up next, “We Ain’t Got Nothin’ Yet” by The Blues Magoos fused blues grit with psychedelic flair, paving the way for the experimentation that defined late sixties rock. Meanwhile, The Sonics’ “Psycho” blasted through with relentless intensity, a sound that would echo decades later in punk and grunge.

The psychedelic garage anthem “Pushin’ Too Hard” by The Seeds gave rock a platform to explore raw, unfiltered emotion, while “Friday On My Mind” by The Easybeats emerged as an infectious weekend anthem, influencing power-pop and new wave movements. Buffalo Springfield’s “Expecting To Fly” offered a softer, dreamlike side of rock, inspiring generations of introspective, poetic songwriting.

We then revisit “I’m A Man” by The Spencer Davis Group, a British rhythm-and-blues hit that blended soulful vocals with driving rock energy, refining rock’s edge for years to come. On the psychedelic front, The Amboy Dukes’ “Journey To The Center Of The Mind” epitomized the mind-bending experimentation of the era, inspiring future hard and progressive rock sounds.

Before their mainstream hits, The Guess Who’s “No Time” bridged the gap between classic rock roots and a polished, radio-friendly sound that defined rock in the seventies. Finally, we explore “Get Together” by The Youngbloods, a soulful call for unity and peace that embodied the idealism of the sixties and influenced socially conscious music for decades.

These ten overlooked rock tracks serve as a reminder of the unsung artists and songs that shaped the sound and soul of the sixties. Whether you’re a long-time rock enthusiast or a new listener, take a moment to revisit these forgotten gems and hear how they quietly changed the course of rock music.
