The flattened tones of the Beach Boys, the sophistication of the Fifth Dimension, the soft rock harmonies of America, the rockier harmonies of the Eagles: these were the soundtracks of the Boomers' lives. The folksy chords of Crosby, Stills, and Nash, the rhythm & blues style of the Spinners, the bluegrass influence on the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and the gospel inspired harmonies of the Oak Ridge Boys all contributed to a buffet of styles and techniques that we will listen to, celebrate, and compare.
