60's psych/garage

Who digs the hell out of this stuff?

From the fuzz to the sitar, from '65 to '69 (okay, '70). The Beatles copycats, the Stones imitators, The Who rip-offs, the guys who tried to be Dylan...I love them all.

Obviously the Nuggets sets are essential. I also have a few Back from the Graves, some Teenage Shutdowns, some of the Arf Arf comps.

Probably my favorite album to come out of it all is Fire's Magic Shoemaker.

Anyone have any particular favorite bands, reocrds or singles?

I do like the Count Five. Pretty good wanna be Yardbirds stuff.

I am a Canned Heat and Savoy Brown fanatic and early Fleetwood Mac is bad @$$. Taste is pretty good too. IMHO

I love the mid to late 60's hippy stuff and the english blues bands as well. :flower: I love the mono and the fake stereo! :geek: :joker: I dig the protest bands, too


soory, I guess it's just a "fun with emoticons" kinda day for me.

13th Floor Elevators to be sure.

Piper At The Gates Of Dawn I think is one of the definitive psychedelic albums.

!3th Floor Elevators are one of my favorites of any genre. Years back when I was much more close-minded musically I happen to read an article about Roky Erickson. I don't know why exactly but it made me have to track down some of their music. Which in the early 90's wasn't easy. Fell in love with it instantly (Easter Everywhere being my introduction).

Also a big fan of Iron Butterfly and Moby Grape.

I've recently joined those ranks too. Great stuff.

Roky is one of my favorite musicians ever. His post-13th stuff is so great, with Evil One (or Five Symbols, as the CD I have calls it), is one of my favorite albums ever. His recent album is really good too.

I don't know how I missed this, but(in case you didn't know) Dave Lambert of Fire joined The Strawbs in 1973. I still haven't gotten a hold of that Fire album............ I need to remedy that.

I didn't know that about the Strawbs...I will have to pick up some of their work together.

And yeah, that Fire album is a definite must-have.

I like the San Francisco bands like Jefferson Airplane, Quick Silver Messenger Service and Blue Cheer....

I thought that he was talking more about little known bands.......... I'm a big Jefferson Airplane fan! From Takes Off to Volunteers, they do no wrong.

I was really talking about any of it. From the groups that put out 3 decades or more worth of LPs, to the bands that pressed 100 copies of a coverless 45 and then vanished.

The first 3 Grateful Dead albums are killer, much better than the more popular albums that followed.

I really dig alot of this style of music... here are a few of my favorites..

On the heavy side

Art (pre Spooky Tooth)
Fuse (teenage Rick Nielson!)
The SRC
Writing on the Wall

and Andromeda

I don't think any of that bleeds over to the 70's.

I'm not familiar with Art or Fuse. Can you tell me some album names so I can look them up on Amazon? Typing in 'Art' and 'Fuse' give waaaay too many choices of random stuff.

.... and here is a late 60s band called Touch:

Very good stuff!!!! Also, an album that influenced Kerry Livgren of Kansas. Seventy Five is a killer tune!


Just found out something interesting about Touch. The leader if that band was the guy who wrote the Louie Louie keyboard riff in 1963 when 15 when he was in the Kingsmen.

Art's album was called "Supernatural Fairy Tales" 1967
Fuse was s/t (add Rick Nielson to the google to find it)

a couple more loud ones

Arcadium- Breath Awhile (69)
Morgen- s/t (I can't find a date, but it sounds very 60's)
