10 Rock Songs From 1968 That Changed Rock Forever
1968 was a year when rock music seemed to change almost overnight. Guitars grew louder, songwriting became bolder, and a new generation of artists began creating records that would still be playing more than half a century later.
In this episode of Pure Nostalgia Radio, we’re turning the clock back to 10 unforgettable rock songs from 1968 — from The Beatles and Jimi Hendrix to The Rolling Stones, Steppenwolf, Cream, Janis Joplin, Simon & Garfunkel, and Deep Purple.
You’ll hear the stories behind classics like “Hey Jude,” “Born to Be Wild,” “All Along the Watchtower,” “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” and more... songs that captured a changing America and helped push rock music into an entirely new era.
Some became enormous hits. Others introduced sounds that generations of musicians would build upon. But all ten still have that rare ability to make the years disappear the moment the music begins.
