Here's a thread about the psychedelic era......roughly 1965 to 1973.....give or take a year or so.
Qualifications:
1. Born and raised by hard rockin' hippy parents.
2. All the classics ingrained into my brain since the day I was in a baby carriage.
3. Collected vinyl for a lot of years pertaining to this subject.
I had to say this in case the generation that actually grew up during this era wonders what a guy in his early 40's could possibly know about this music. Lol.
Won't be posting too many "Hits" but will post good songs by a well known bands that didn't really hit the charts.
Eventually, I will get into the more rare, lesser known artists that should have made it on to the charts.
Also, I will pick songs that were "ahead of their time" that you'd expect to hear in more recently; material that a DJ would love to remix; and songs/artists that basically created a whole new genre from the heavy LSD they were taking!
Yes, my motto: EVERYTHING was invented during this era!
I won't be checking out info on wikipedia so please correct me if my tidbits are wrong.
Please post away but I ask that you keep it from this era and make it trippy!
I'll get started here......
Everyone knows the big hit by these guys but I actually listened to the 1969 album "Ball" more and think it was under-rated.
This IMO, is one of their best and should be given more limelight. Check out the guitar solo and they crazy haunting "Star Trek" like part.
From their first album.....
Of course, you're welcome to post the "Big hit" if you want.
I'll start off with posts of the more known bands but soon I'd like to get to all that more obscure, rare material.
Stay tuned!
