How is Pink Floyd differentiated from The Rolling Stones? Why is Jimi Hendrix considered as an immenselyinfluential rockguitarist? What is the role of the social and political aspects in theSan FranciscoHippies movement and the emergence of psychedelic rock?These are questions that can entail intriguing answers.
