Name your favorite 60's band/musician

Recommended Posts

The last week or so, I've been stuck on Janis Joplin. What awesome talent!! Right now, we're listening to Joe Cocker's "Leave Your Hat On" -- I promised my husband to do a strip tease to this one a long time ago -- but oh my God, without alcohol, I just cannot find the nerves to do it!! :$

Great song for that. If you love your husband, have a shot or two and get to it. You can leave your hat on. :)

And oh BTW, great '60's artists. . . Hendrix, of course. The Yardbirds, one of the quintessential super groups.

Traffic, Pink Floyd, Elton John, Canned Heat, Joplin, Velvet Underground, the Beatles, the list goes on and on. I was a pretty young kid back then, but it was a very creative, experimental era in music. Anything and everything was tried, and the record companies got behind a lot of unproven bands and genres.

Then the '70's happened. Disco and arena rock. [:/]

Oh well. :D

Thank God for the birth of punk rock.B|

Velvet Underground!!

I got to meet Moe Tucker in the mid-eighties.. Sad thing is that she was working in a Walmart at the time. A Member of quite possibly the most Influential Bands ever and she was working a cash register at a rural Georgia Walmart.:S

One famous quote about the Velvet Underground...
"While only a few thousand people bought a Velvet Underground record upon their initial release, almost every single one of them was inspired to start a band".

For the younger generation out there that has never listened to VU. Do yourself a Favor and take a listen.

Funny thing.... when I was in 6th grade our class did a 60's medley show in place of our christmas concert (was our music teacher an ex-hippie... w/o a doubt!) Anyway... I loved all the stuff we sang so much, the first cd I bought ended up being the beatles anthology 3... and, I still know every word to "the age of aquarius"

now, to name a few... the beach boys, bob dylan, simon and garfunkel, dr. hook, peter paul and mary, neil young, the who.... and don't even get me started on the 70's. :)

From the other side of the 60's The Temptations



Thank you for that. It's funny, when I was a suburban white kid I really didn't go for soul music, not at all. Didn't even appreciate the blues (guess I didn't even have a clue about Cream, Janis, or Johnny Winter being blues players). I was just all caught up in white psychedelia, not that there was anything wrong with that.

But nowadays I love hearing Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Smoky Robinson & the Miracles (isn't "My Girl" just one of the BEST songs ever written ?). Never like diana Ross though. Still don't.

Aquarius by 5th dimension brings me back...

My mom & I used to dance around her living room to all her old records. I had hair down to my bootie back then.--and I'd part it down the middle like in her old pictures, and tie a scarf around my head, and put on all her vintage, long necklaces (some that would come down to my knees almost b/c I was so little). We would dance and laugh for hours.

I was a real flower child when I was little. The only 6th-grader wearing clogs & flares. Obviously, before they came back in style...:D

I used to sign notes we passed in class with a little peace symbol, a heart & a happy face.:D:$

SO funny!

I still have the long hair & platform shoes, though.B|
Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

These people actually knew/know their instruments and the rules of music in terms of chords and what time really is and how to move the groove........start talking about music theory and people who can play start falling like flies!

For the past 2 months I have been stuck on 70's Clapton....especially Derek and the Dominos live at the Fillmore. Off the chain Clapton!
