5.0 out of 5 stars The Musical Turning Point of a Generation, November 14, 2008

This review is from: 1964 Classic Rock (Audio CD)

1964 marked a definitive turning point in rock and roll. The British invasion swept across the United States, drastically changing the music charts within six months, and American radio would never be the same. Doowop and teen idols were out, and a harder version of rock and roll was in. Time Life's "1964 Classic Rock" collection highlights the best from one of the most unique years in music history. Included are British invasion hits from Gerry and the Pacemakers, sun and surf sounds from the Beach Boys, a beautiful soul ballad from the Impressions, instrumentals by the Markettes, and even a beach music selection by The Tams. This CD is well over an hour long, and it will open a door into this fascinating musical landscape. It's an essential disc for anyone who loves music of the 1960's.
