I can understand why they wouldn't feel a part of it. But anyway I didn't make any comments on the Band's relationship to the counter-culture at the time. Usually people do not rebel against what comes after them, it's almost like you saying Madonna is somewhat of a rebellion against Adelle. The members in The Band were playing together before any scene of the late 60s arrived. You know they were a back-up band for Ronnie Hawkins (and also Bob Dylan) right?

It was a recommendation meant for Surell. I thought it was a good way to be introduced to Dylan's style of songwriting if one was not too familiar with his work. The Byrds were the one of the best of the American bands of 60s. They had two very influential guitar players: Roger McGuinn and Clarence White (who joined later). Bob definitely had a knack for songwriting, combine that with their guitar playing and it's great music even if it's not critically acclaimed by some...
