The Byrds were one of the bands that pioneered the Sunset Strip rock scene in Hollywood, opening a pathway for other bands such as the Doors.
The jangle of Roger McGuinn’s 12-string Rickenbacker guitar combined with his and David Crosby’s rich harmonies to create a signature sound.
Covers such as Dylan’s “Mr. Tambourine Man” and Pete Seeger’s “Turn! Turn! Turn!” as well as originals like the psychedelic “Eight Miles High” and “So You Want to Be a Rock n’ Roll Star” were huge hits for the Byrds, as they broke the Top 40 seven times from 1965 to 1967.
In a foreshadowing of problems experienced by the Doors and Rolling Stones in 1967, “Eight Miles High” was banned by some radio stations in 1966 due to the lyrics’ alleged drug references.
Formed in Los Angeles in 1964, the Byrds blended the melodic rock stylings popularized by the Beatles with the socially conscious lyrics of Bob Dylan, to create an original and popular sound that was dubbed folk rock.
