The Byrds were an influential American rock group active in the 1960s and 70s. They are known for pioneering the folk rock genre, and for mixing elements of psychedelic rock and country music. The Byrds' harmonic vocals and 12-string guitar sound became significant to the band's music and had a major impact on the development of rock music. Their versions of Bob Dylan's songs, as well as their own material, have left a lasting impression on the music world.
