The Byrds is a Psychedelic rock act. Their sound grew out of Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II, See My Friends, Charlie McCoy, Tim Rose and All I Really Want to Do.

They run in the same orbit as Buffalo Springfield, Jefferson Airplane, Moby Grape, Crosby, Stills & Nash and Donovan, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Rain Parade, Richie Furay, Moonshake, Big Star and Rockfour, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
