It didn’t even begin until 1963

Between 1960 and 1963 the charts were dominated by middle of the road crooning purveyed by jumper-wearing men like Pat Boone, Perry Como and Bobby Vinton and light jazz for cocktail parties. Elvis had sold his soul to Hollywood and the most dangerous artist of the era was Cliff Richard. The Beatles changed everything, of course, but at least one-third of the decade’s music is utter pish.

    I think its for sure that it's overrated, I'm sick of hearing about it! If you watch American TV you'd think the world began and ended with The Beatles, JFK and Woodstock! Boomers are terminally arrogant.
