How has she been involved in her music? Has she written any songs? Has she done any of her vocal arrangements? Has she decided on a theme of her album?

There are 60s artists I like, but in terms of popular music, I am more fond of newer stuff. (that kind of style is basically what i think of when i think of 60s pop; i know there is more)

There are a ton of great artists from that era.
Check out any of these The Drifters, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Dells, The Delphonics, Four Tops, James Brown, Temptations, Supremes, Tina and Ike Turner, Ray Charles, Jackson 5, Dina Washington, Doris Day, etc
If you prefer the music that is out now that is cool but there are other great artists from that era as well and outside of the rock genre.

Hell id even say Belle & Sebastian is a better baroque-pop band than anyone in the 60s. The 60s didnt have shoegaze, post punk, post rock, noise (rock or otherwise), synthpop, numerous sub genres of metal and electronic, and on and on. So even though the 60s obviously had an influence on music now, it's been better realized by the succeeding decades.

I agree but the decade is still way better than today's. For one thing, the bands and artists actually used live instruments. I wouldn't classify any of those subgenres besides metal and maybe electronic as mainstream. Most sub genres are not commercial.
