The year 1968 - 1970
The late 1960s and early 1970s brought a musical revolution and a shift in youth culture. 1968 was the year The Beatles took psychedelic rock to a new level with "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," while Jimi Hendrix and The Doors continued to push the boundaries of rock. The hippie movement and protests shaped the political climate. In 1969, grunge took over with The Who and Woodstock, while David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust era and the disco wave paved the way for the years to come. In 1970, the music of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath laid the foundations for heavy metal, while the influence of punk slowly began to make its presence felt in the music scene. These three years were a time of musical upheaval, cultural change, and social rebellion that shaped the 1970s and beyond.
