  This reference book aims to offer a definitive guide to the groups and artists who created the music of the 1960s: from the early years of Del Shannon, Bobby Darin, Ricky Nelson and Cliff Richard; the Beach Boys, Jan and Dean and the Shangri-Las to the beat boom with the Beatles and the Rolling Stones; the Swinging London era of the Who and the Kinks, and the explosion of sound from California's west coast with the Byrds, the Doors, Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead. Folk protest, the blues boom, psychedelia, soul, jazz, ska and Merseybeat: all these musical genres and movements are featured, while there are features on pirate radio and the impact on a whole generation of Bob Dylan. From those who survived to those lost in the mists of time, the musicians, songwriters and personalities of the 1960s are all featured here.
