Just a matter of opinion and who you were. Most of the music of that period sucked - sounded nothing like music. Again it’s a quesrion of how you define “the 60s” There were at least two, and possibly more, things that defined it. What is this Cow Patti thing - much later.
The music was great until the British Invasion of the Beatles and other groups.
Most of the music then went to crap, teen angst and sexual innuendo songs abounded.
Even today I have bad flashbacks when the oldies radio plays the post 1963 music. Music of the late 1950s is great!
