Editorial Review:
To many, this is what the '60s are all about: classic tunes by the Angels, Marvin Gaye, the Temptations, Lovin' Spoonful, and others. But thankfully, not all the tunes found on The '60s can be heard during our morning-commute radio scans. "Draft Morning" by the Byrds gives this collection a political edginess, and James Brown's "Say It Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud (Part 1)" is a welcome, funky addition. Bob Dylan's collaboration with Joan Osborne on his classic "Chimes of Freedom" is this disc's real gem, a must-have for Dylan connoisseurs. Sure, there are more critically acclaimed collections of '60s music out there--the Nuggets box set and The Big Chill soundtrack are two oft-praised classics--but this disc, if nothing else, contains the best of the bunch. --Jason Verlinde

Rating:  - Excellent Anthology
I bought this video to show it to my High School students and it was a hit. They enjoy the history, music and the story behind the whole 60's theme. What I liked about this video is that has real footage of the events that shaped the decade. There is also two families involved and they evolve with the history, which made the students really interested in the subject. After I showed them this film everyone was into the whole theme and music.
Rating: - Great collection of the 60's
I own several collections of popular music from America in the 1960's, and this is definitely one of the best I've heard. I don't consider myself an "expert" on music from then, but one way this collection is better than most is the nice balance it has of various styles. It's got several that are lighter and more fun, yet not frivolous, such as "My Boyfriend's Back" by The Angels, and also has many serious and philosophical songs, such as "Chimes of Freedom" by Bob Dylan and "Chicago/We Can Ghange ...

Rating:  - 'The '60's:Original NBC Motion Picture Soundtrack'(Polygram)
Loved the 3 1/2 hour made-for-TV movie as I just couldn't wait to lay my mitts on the soundtrack disc.Although it COULD have included a couple of MORE key songs from the era.There are several tunes on this fifteen track offering that I hadn't heard in years.Like Marvin Gaye's "Could I Get A Witness?"(one of the BEST Motown songs ever),Bob Dylan's "Chimes Of Freedom" and The Animal's "Winds Of Change".A few that I'll always hold close to my heart are Jefferson Airplane's "Somebody To Love" and Cream's ...

Rating:  - What is this song???? please help!!!!
There is a song on the miniseries, and all i remember is the main guy walking down the sidewalk ia suit and the instrumental part of the song. It has guitars kinda going down the scale then doing it again. I know it's not much, but if you know it, please help.
Rating: - Worth it for the first track
I've been reading the other reviews of The '60s, and first of all, I've noticed a LOT of people asking about a song that was played in the mini-series and not on the CD. That is probably the CD's biggest fault; not that it doesn't do justice to the 60s as a decade, but that it doesn't do justice to the 60s as a mini-series. Bob Dylan is sorely mis-represented on the CD while his songs get a lot of play in the movie, but I think that the first track (a duet with Joan Osborne) is worth the CD.
