On a video that I can't find right now (this is one of the downsides of having only 15 minutes to write my morning posts, anyway I think it was related to the documentary "If this walls could sing"), I heard an interesting theory on why the 60s have been such a defining period music-wise. Back there, the world was recovering from two devasting wars, so the music scene wasn't so rich, and musicians didn't have much to build upon. That's why they were so creative. They had to. Over the decades, plenty of music has been created and released, so musicians now have way more history on their minds when they sit to compose new stuff. According to that video, this is why it's harder nowadays to create something as defining as the music of the 60s.
