The passion, intensity and complexity of the popular music produced in England between 1965 75 is the work of an extraordinary generation of working-class and lower-middle-class men and women (in alliance with a handful of middle-class men and women) who saw in the new music the remaking of something bigger than themselves, or more precisely, something bigger than themselves that they could guide and shape and call their own. In this the "use-values" of popular music underwent an unprecedented expansion and diversity during this period.
