Editing San Francisco Sound (section)

=== Legacy ===

The San Francisco Sound's influence on rock music has been far-reaching and enduring. San Francisco was once called "the Liverpool of the United States", and after the 1960s and 1970s, punk rock and new wave became further staple genres in the city, carrying forward its tradition of countercultural music-making. 

Soon after the Monterey Pop Festival, Ralph J. Gleason and Jann Wenner, based in San Francisco, established ''Rolling Stone'' magazine (first issue dated November 1967), which became the defining publication of the rock era and carried the values and aesthetics of the San Francisco scene into the wider culture. 

Coming of age in the San Francisco Bay Area, singer-songwriter Stevie Nicks gained her first performing experience there in the 1960s, before going on to bring that San Francisco sound to Fleetwood Mac when she and Lindsey Buckingham both joined in 1975.
