Last year some of the best songs I heard were crafted by artists who were rediscovering the experimental pop sensibilities of the late 1960s. I'm hoping a musical renaissance takes place because of musicians like these, and the next generation learns how to play instruments with virtuosity, pushing the boundaries of sound and visuals toward an ever-expanding consciousness.
At the very least, I recommend you open your ears and minds and have a personal freak-out.
