Rock History Project, Episode 11 - 1965

Join us at the Rock History Project as we explore 1965: a pivotal year for rock and roll. This was the year The Rolling Stones released "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," an iconic track that resonated deeply. The year also marked a pivotal moment with Bob Dylan famously "going electric" at the Newport Folk Festival, and the shaping of new folk rock and garage rock sounds with The Byrds also making their mark!

This intense musical evolution occurred amidst the ongoing British Invasion, deeply connected to the burgeoning 1960s counterculture movement, with music profoundly reflecting and influencing societal shifts, and pirate radio stations playing a key role in its dissemination.

Sit back and relax as we uncover the forces behind this explosion of creativity.
