A Long long time ago I got an e-mail from a person (which I will keep anonymous) asking me information on different groups from the 70's. And if I can find some Pictures of them.

In the early and middle 1960s, however, a number of influences combined to lift rock out of what by then had become a bland, sentimental, and basically mechanical format. In England the development of rock had been much slower, largely because of strict programming controls in radio and recording. When, at last, native performers did achieve a wide hearing, they were found to have retained the freshness and native excitement of the very early years of rock and roll. Their success at home became even greater in the United States, where a new generation of teenagers had grown up unaware of the music on which that of the new stars was based.
Preeminent among the new performers were the Beatles, whose remarkable musical abilities and growth enabled them to transform a merely popular music into an open field for genuine creativity. At the same time, Bob Dylan and other U.S. performers were developing "folk rock," a blending of traditional ballad and verse forms with rock rhythms and instrumentation. Although the Beatles' music had its origins in the rock and roll of the mid-1950s, whereas Dylan's musical roots lay in the tradition of American folk song, they both combined unusual melodic gifts with an ability to write complex and significant lyrics.
Rock music gathered momentum in the mid-1960s as young musicians began to explore rock's ability to deal with social and political themes. Such groups as the Rolling Stones, The Byrds, Cream, The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, The Doors, and the Allman Brothers Band combined imaginative lyrics with an unprecedented rock instrumental virtuosity, which was typified by the incorporation of long passages of solo improvisation into the increasingly complex textures and musical structures of rock songs.
Powerful vocalists like Janis Joplin and guitarists like Jimi Hendrix achieved large followings with their exotic elaboration on traditional rhythm-and-blues themes. Rock was further enriched by the rediscovery by white audiences of the black blues music from which it was originally derived, and by such groups as Crosby, Stills, and Nash, who evolved a gentler music using acoustic instruments and clear, sonorous vocals. In the shadow of the new experimentation, standard adolescent rock and roll was relegated to the background, although it was still commercially important.
