The '50's was the spawning ground for all the popular music that followed. Country & western, folk, jazz, R&B, and rock & roll all evolved after WWII and formed the base of today's music.
The 60's was when new technologies like multitrack recording and stereo players were really developed and made widely available.
The 70's put the stylistic influences and technology together to create the songs that are still some of the most popular recordings today.
