Of course. I think so, Jimbo was more than a human. Don´t think he is not among us anymore.

 

Spooky Tooth, The Band, Iron Butterfly, Buffalo Springfield, The Beatles, The Doors, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Jefferson Airplane..

Buffalo Springfield made some great American Folk Pop. Hendrix and all his incarnations were obviously pioneers of hard rock. Pentangle, Fairport Convention, and Steeleye Span were great english folk rock bands. There are too many to mention! I would start writing paragraphs, but I won't.

There were dozens of great bands but two of the most influential were the Yardbirds and Buffalo Springfield.

 

Jimi Hendrix Experience, Fairport Convention, Big Brother/Janis Joplin, Sly & The Family Stone, Otis Redding, Jefferson Airplane, Sam & Dave, The Temptations (...soul in general.)

Then there are others such as Leonard Cohen, Stevie Wonder, and Grateful Dead who started in the 60s... but on the basis of their output in the 60s alone wouldn't be among my favorites.

 

The Rolling Stones, My fav band ever
