this podcast is going to be all about 60's music. the goal with this podcast is to educate a younger generation on one of the greatest decades of music of all time, and to prove to people that Millennials can love 60's music as well and it's not just for Baby boomers. Each week I"m going to review one song by one artist from the 60's and split the podcast into two halfs. first half is going to be my perspective and my opinion on the song and why I think it's so good or why I don't think it's ...

I'll be the first to admit this music isn't for everyone. So, if you try it and don't like it, no offense taken. But I will recommend you enter with the right frame of mind. This ain't Barry Manilow - these are songs that hearken back to Britain's rustic past. But don't think of Irish jigs and the Chieftains.
Let's just say the hippie movement brought about a sort of pastoral appreciation. Even the Kinks longed for the simple life of ages past. Pink Floyd sang about Hobbits, The Incredible String band sang about a witch's hat, and a bunch of bands recorded a song about a werefox (Reynardine). If this doesn't clue you in to what kind of music I'm talking about, maybe this podcast will clear it up.
Perhaps if the Beatles had latched onto the trend it would have gained more traction. The Fab Four were perhaps too entrenched in the smokestacks of Liverpool and Hamburg to really jump on the rustic bandwagon. Plus, their attempt to escape the urban world via the Maharishi had ended in spectacular failure.
Whatever the case, it was a very interesting moment in pop music history. And it is interesting to see the various angles it took. For instance, Kaleidoscope came with a psychedelic twist and Zeppelin brought a hard rock vibe. Some of this is not easy to swallow, even critics of the day couldn't tolerate Bert Jansch's voice "akin to dirty water finding its way down a partially clogged drain." Different strokes for different folks.
