I think that you have failed to note that the British Invasion was a crucial aspect of the American zeitgeist in the 1960s, creating many of the bands you chose to mention. British bands such as the Beatles – considered one of the greatest bands of all time – created the American music scene of the 60s and today. Furthermore, you failed to note the developments of a pop culture surrounding strict family life in the 1950s which the 60s was a direct response to. Regardless, you did an alright job I guess.
