No i wasnt there but luckily I can still listen to the music. Im sure there are, but Traditional music isnt as strong as it use to be. Musicians were walking down the same traditional path for a while until the revolutionaries of the late 50s and 60s came along. It was those people who broke that traditional boundary and set off a creative revolution who really opened up that artistic freedom for music ever since. How can anyone deny that artists like The Velvet Underground, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors and Led Zeppelin, just to name a few, didnt change things? They certainly did, and their music remains very unique and creative to this day. They continue to inspire and they always will. I dont think many bands will ever be able to match the influence that bands like that had on music.

My parents lived through the sixties as well, and they think that the music was highly revolutionary. The sixties were a wild time and that had its affect on the music.
