Think of these '60s standards from the NBC miniseries as Big Chill: The Unused Tracks. Ranging from the Angels (''My Boyfriend's Back'') and Bob Dylan (''Chimes of Freedom,'' newly recorded by Dylan with Joan Osborne) to hippie anthems by Cream, the Byrds, and Traffic, The 60's effectively conjures up an era when the Lovin' Spoonful could unironically cajole you to ''believe in the magic of rock & roll.''
