circumstantial tree Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 Eurthymics possibly sums up the 80's with their song "Shame" which came out in 1987. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thestand Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I know I was born in the 1990's, so I have an outside view, but if I thought of one song for the 60's, I would always think of Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young's "Ohio". Don't know why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandpa Grizz Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 60's--Revolution 1--The Beatles You would have had to be there to fully understand. We really were on the brink of an armed revolution in the late sixties. There was violence. The extreme revolutionaries were enlisting the help of the art community, especially popular musicians. Musicians were spreading their messages and it was having a profound impact. Music was a powerful social mover in the sixties, much moreso than today. The Beatles were the most admired musicians of the day. Millions were looking to them for leadership. The band took a stand with Revolution 1. Violence was not the answer. Individual transformation was what would change the world. If any song from the times had an historic impact it was that one. Revolution 1 Ohio is a good one too. And the songs Rush chose for feedback are also quite indicative of the times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was waiting for someone to say Revolution, and then would've went on a rant about 'how anybody could think a bunch of sounds put together is good'. Fun spoiler...

You're thinking of Revolution 9, also on the White Album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
