Pickpick

The 1960s are clearly the best decade ever as far as music is concerned and Savage makes a good case for 1966 being the pivotal year of that tumultuous decade. This is a superb musical and social history, showing how the music both reflected the times and served as an inspiration for its movers and shakers. I thought I knew the period and its soundtrack pretty well, but Savage had me exploring gems that had hitherto passed me by.
