The Byrds是六０年代美國最重要的民謠搖滾樂隊之一，Jim McGuinn的十二弦吉他，Gene Clark與David Clark的和聲，今日聽來，仍鮮有匹敵者。1967年之前的三張專輯「Mr.Tambourine Man」(1965)、「Turn Turn Turn」(1966)和「Fifth Dimension」(1966)是我最喜歡的Byrds的階段，可以將Bob Dylan與一些經典民謠歌曲，以一種迷幻而單純的美感演繹出來，無愧於做為美國搖滾樂對於The Beatles等"英倫入侵"最美好的回應。之後，The Byrds的音樂逐步鄉村化、複雜化，取得經典樂隊的地位，影響了無數後輩。
