BOB DYLAN





Bob Dylan
(born Robert Allen Zimmerman, May 24, 1941) is an American singer-songwriter, author, musician, poet and, of late, disc jockey who has been a major figure in popular music for five decades. Much of Dylan's most celebrated work dates from the 1960s, when he became an informal chronicler and a reluctant figurehead of American unrest. A number of his songs, such as "Blowin'in the wind" and "The times they are a-changin", became anthems of the anti-war and civil rights movents. His most recent studio album, Moderns Times, released on August 29, 2006, entered the U.S. album charts at #1, making him, at age 65, the oldest living person to top those charts. It was later named Album of the Year by Rolling Stones magazine...more

The Byrds


The Byrds (formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1964) were an American Rock band.


Bridging the gap between the Folk Music of Bob Dylan and the hybrid pop of The Beatles, The Byrds were popular and influential through the 1960s and early 1970. Throughout their career, they helped forge such subgenres as Folk rock, space rock, raga rock, psychedelic rock, jangle pop, and – on their 1968 album sweetheart of the rodeo - contry rock. After several line-up changes (with lead singer/guitarist Roger Mcguinn as the only consistent member), they broke up in 1973.
Some of their trademark songs include pop covers of Bob Dylan's " Mr. Tambourine Man" and Pete seeger's" Turn! Turn! Turn!", and the originals "I'll Feel a whole lot better", and " Eight miles high"...(More)

BEACH BOYS



The Beach Boys are an American rock and roll band. Formed in 1961, they gained popularity for their close vacal harmonies and lyrics reflecting a California youth culture of surfing, girls and cars. Brian Wilson's growing creative ambitions later transformed them into a more artistically innovative group that earned critical praise and influenced many later musicians.


The group initially comprised singer-musician-composer Brian Wilson, his brothers, Carl and Dennis, their cousin Mike love, and friend Al Jardine. This core quintet, along with early member David Marks and later bandmate Bruce Johnston, were inducted into the Rock and roll hall of fame in 1988. The Beach Boys have often been called "America's Band" and have had thirty-six U.S. Top 40 hits (the most of any U.S. rock band), including four number one singles...(more)
