The Byrds Were A Popular American Rock Band Formed In Los Angeles California In 1964. They Are Considered One Of The Most Important And Influential Bands Of The 1960s. Their Music Bridged The Gaps Between The Socially And Spiritually Conscious Folk Music Of Bob Dylan The Studio Trickery Of The Beach Boys And The Sardonic Rock Of The Beatles. Some Of Their Trademark Songs Include Pop Versions Of Bob Dylan's Mr. Tambourine Man And Pete Seeger’s Turn! Turn! Turn! To Everything There Is A Season And The Originals I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better And Eight Miles High. Throughout Their Career They Helped Forge Such Subgenres As Folk Rock Raga Rock Psychedelic Rock Jangle Pop And – On Their 1968 Classic Sweetheart Of The Rodeo – Country Rock Inviting Gram Parsons On Rhythm Guitar. The Original And Most Successful Lineup Consisted Of Chris Hillman David Crosby Michael Clarke Roger McGuinn And Gene Clark.
