Our Take

Jon Savage's 1968: The Year The World Burned is a time capsule of chaos, rebellion, and revolutionary spirit. The legendary music critic has curated a collection of songs that encapsulate the tumultuous year that was 1968, and boy, does it pack a punch.

From the opening track, The Rolling Stones' "Street Fighting Man," to the closing notes of The Kinks' "Days," Savage takes us on a wild ride through a year that saw political assassinations, student protests, and civil rights movements. Each song is a reminder of the power of music to unite, inspire, and ignite change.

Standout tracks include Aretha Franklin's powerful anthem "Think," Jimi Hendrix's electrifying "All Along the Watchtower," and The Doors' haunting "Hello, I Love You." These songs not only capture the spirit of 1968 but also resonate with the social and political issues we face today.

Savage's impeccable taste and deep knowledge of music history shine through in this meticulously curated collection. Whether you're a fan of classic rock, soul, or psychedelic music, 1968: The Year The World Burned has something for everyone.

So, sit back, turn up the volume, and let Jon Savage take you on a musical journey through one of the most turbulent years in history. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
