The Byrds could have gotten lost in the shuffle between the Beatles and Bob Dylan. The Byrds were a little bit of both. They held their own during the 1960's, turning Dylan's folkie songs into rock classics through the Beatles' sense of melody. But the Byrds were not a cover band. The song below, Eight Miles High is one of the all time greats, capturing the spirit of the era. The video was made before anyone had the technology to make serious videos. Ignore the scotch tape holding together the special effects. Music doesn't get any better than this.
