The 1960s

After Elvis, hundreds of groups and singers came and disappeared. But performers like the Rolling Stones,* the Beatles* and Michael Jackson* went down to history. The Rolling Stones offered aggressive rock. The Beatles, or the Fab Four (fab is from fabulous), made a breakthrough in pop and rock because they took all that was good about early rock, and changed it into something original and even more exciting.
