I have to do an extra credit assingment for history and I need help. Heres the assingment:
America in the 1960s and 1970s was changing rapidly. A younger generation began to challenege the norms and values of their parents generation on a wide range of issues including the war in vietnam, the behavior of women,clothing and hair styles,black-white race relations, and the value of material things. The generation gap was further widend by the fact that young people frequently rejected the norms of civil dialogue and engagement that their parents valued. This peroid of conflict, challenge , and change was promoted by and reflrected in the music of the time.(This is just not protest music)

Your task:Create a "counterculture" cd that includes the songs that best reflect the age of the counteculture.

I need a list of 10 songs. The first person to respond shall win all of my points. I need the list by Sunday,June 5

You don't need to give me all your points. I'm not exactly an expert on this sort of thing, and I don't remember when this movie came out, but I would think that the songs from Rocky Horror Picture Show would be good examples. You know, songs like Sweet Transvestite, a song that also reflects a change in our views toward sexuality. Once a month at a local theatre, they have Rocky Horror Night which is full of people who are part of what you might call "counterculture."
Please, sit down before you fall down.

Almost anything by Elvis Presley; if your teacher was around when Elvis first became popular, he/she will know.

Maybe Beatles' songs too.

Sing lustily and with a good courage. Beware of singing as if you were half dead, or half asleep; but lift up your voice with strength.
