The easy answer is that you can't have them back (at least not with all the original members), because most, if not all of the original members of those bands are dead now. Considering the fact that the average age of any members of a 60s rock band would be between the ages of 75 and 85, that is very real possibility. Even bands from the 70s are losing original members by the week to the grim reaper
Well, maybe NOT the Monkees! The Prefab-Four were roundly criticized as Singing Heads, and worse. That said, TIme is a one-way trip. We can't go back, and there is no guarantee the Beatles would connect with modern audiences, the same way they did in the 'Sixties. John and Paul, with George and Ringo's able assistance, spoke to the heart of the crowd of teenagers collectively known as the Baby Boomers, speaking a common language, facing similar problems, and writing songs that explored teen angst, sexual awakening, and the changing times. The times they have a'changed, taking that away, and sex is Big Business, further removing that link, so all the Lads from Liverpool would have going for themselves, would be their youth. Today's youth is as splintered as society, so entranced with "trance", some with rap and hip-hop, neither of which existed, sixty years ago, so it quickly becomes problematic. The Byrds were only the Byrds for a couple years. By 1968, when Chris Hillman left, following David Crosby, only Roger (Jim) McGuinn remained, and Jimmy was never the be-all, end-all of the Byrds, much as he wanted to be. Creedence, too, ran its course. There is no Top 40, today, so any band trying what CCR did would soon be up a proverbial creek without a roll of TP! Jimi, alone, could have continued on, recording impressive music, but it was not meant to be. Velvet Underground was a critic's darling kind of band, never selling a lot of records, nor reaching a wide audience. They were more storied, than accomplished, and very "New York", not exactly a comestible product outside the northeast. By the time they recorded Loaded, the band's best foray, the 'Sixties were over. The Airplane went on, into the 'Seventies, and beyond, with the Starship, but they ran out of gas, somewhere out beyond Neptune. How about if we find artists, like these, but fresh, with new perspectives, in an atmosphere meant to foster creativity, instead of the dog-eat-dog world the recording industry devolved into. The Dead took it as far as they could, but humans are frail vessels, and Jerry had diabetes, a bad drug habit, and, thanks to relentless touring, a bad diet, and worse physical condition, succumbing to time in the midst of another tour. For anyone who hasn't been "on tour" , it's a lot like being Sisyphus, with the stone on your back. If you're young, you shrug it off, but if you're well past 50, it's a like driving in a stock car race, with Grannie's 1929 Hupmobile. All of the acts you mention left lasting memories, but bringing them back would be as successful as Mary Shelley's narrative of the monster. Good intentions make bad ideas, writ large.

I grew up in Southern California and we used to cruise the Sunset Strip, Hollywood Blvd. and Laurel Canyon (where many of the rock stars lived). I remember all the rock stars' names on the marquees outside the clubs on Sunset Blvd. I think The Doors, were at first, the house band at the London Fog and later at The Whiskey before making it big. My first rock concert was in June 1968 right after I turned 18 was at the Kaleidoscope Theater and saw Canned Heat and Vanilla Fudge. We saw The Doors in concert in 1969 and 1970. The 1970 concert at the Long Beach Arena was historic when The Doors came out for a 2 hour encore. The Doors were my favorite 60's psychedelic era band and "Light My Fire" is still my all-time favorite song.
I am a Rock did NOT appear on Wednesday Morning 5 AM. It was an accustic version of the Sounds of Silence. I am A Rock appears on the Sounds of Silence album. Who does your fact checking pal?
If this list doesn't include the Animals and the Yardbirds then this list sucks!!!!. Well I guess it does suck I mean at one time or another The Yardbirds had Eric Clapton Jeff Beck and Jimmy Paige in their ranks and were the basic foundation for Led Zeppelin!!!!.As for alot of these other bands I still Like the Moody Blues better than just' bout all of these!!!!.
"The Beatles" changed the world for the better. They aren't "arguably" the most famous -- they still outsell "The Rolling Stones" and Elvis.

Mickey Dolenz is the on surviving member of the Monkees. MIKE NESMITH Davey Jones and Peter Tork passed away. GET IT RIGHT!!!!.
A whole bunch of inaccuracies of this video are noted in this comment section. One more to add: Turn, Turn, Turn was not a Bob Dylan song.
You talk about The Byrds and show clips of The Beatles.
Jefferson Airplane became Jefferson Starship in 1973.
In 1985, they changed their name again, dropping "Jefferson" and just calling themselves "Starship".

Hi how you doing this is Tony❤
"The Doors" are depressing.
“The Mid 60 S”
Thanks! This was a fun trip back in time. I was there, loved all these performers back in the day.
Thank you America Before for this video. The great thing is that these artists' music lives on today.
