Fifty years ago, hundreds of thousands of people descended to a farm in Bethel, New York, for Woodstock, a music festival that promised "Three days of Peace and Music."

The festival was headlined by acts that defined the generation: Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Who, Jefferson Airplane and so many more. Today, these artists are revered and legendary, but in 1969, they were hip, modern and political during a time of cultural turmoil. Many people are flocking to Bethel this weekend to celebrate Woodstock's big birthday, but if you can't make it up to the farm, we made a playlist of songs from the artists who were there.
