"The ambitious triple-CD box set I'd Love to Turn You On outlines some of the key inspirations of 1960s rock counter-culture beyond the genre's roots in blues and R&B, particularly in the realm of classical music and the avant-garde, as well as film scores, jazz, Indian ragas, and more. Pinpointing in detail how rock & roll moved beyond simple, repetitive two-minute pop songs into a form of greater sophistication, emotional complexity, and artistic expression, the set's track listing is subdivided into sections corresponding to the artists influenced by the composers and pieces in question ...

Any undergraduate who listens to this and studies the liner notes should be granted course credits"
