The Guess Who

 

[Xrocker]

I kid you not, I have been planning on putting this in my set list! I currently am doing "Monster Mash" and intend on adding your 60's fav song as well as "King Tut" by Steve Martin (which of course is NOT 60's)!! I love these types of songs and I think people do as well!!!

That said, the lyrics that have existed in my head do not 100% match the lyrics I am reading on line (at least in part) ;~(( I have CLEARLY in my head from decades ago:

They're coming to take me away
Hee he ha ha ho ho
To the funny farm
Where life is happy and funny and gay
They're coming to take me away

Now I do not recall having heard this song in at least 30+ years, but that is the way it is supposed to sound (at least a part of it)! Thanks for kindling that memory!!

It really is an amazing vocal performance if you get past the silliness. You can feel him loosing his mind. Great Fx on Vox also.

Simon and Garfunkel

 

[sprint]

Bee Gees (extensive 60s catalogue that now gets little focus in the shadow of superstardom 10 years later).

 

[sprint]

Spencer Davis Group (oh, gotta go - 20.03 is here...)

 

[Jozsef Kiss]

Simply beautiful!


Have a little fun!

 

[TSJMajesty]

Incense & Peppermints. True psychedelia! Fun fact, the guitar player on the left playing the solo on the SG is the late Ed King. (Lynyrd Skynyrd)

The Guess Who

The Guess Who is AWESOME

 

[sprint]

The Ventures (Walk Don't Run - 1st Partial Song I learned on Guitar)

King Crimson (just slips in, Oct 69 - beginnings of prog they say, all I remember was the cool sound of what I later learned to be a Melotron)


April Wine does a wicked cover of Schizoid Man

 

[sprint]

The Animals (1st one below, a contender for "banned songs to play in record stores")

 

[sprint]

Manfred Mann

In the 80's, my room mate and I would have what we called "Easy Rider Festivals". We would play that movie ALL NIGHT LONG, with an occasional "Clockwork Orange" thrown in here and there just to "break it up a bit"!! While "Easy Rider" was playing we would smoke when they smoked, drank when they drank, dropped acid when they dropped acid (first time through the movie only on that one) and had a GREAT TIME doing so!!! One of the best film soundtracks ever ESPECIALLY if you know the movie and it's message!!!

Love the movie also - seen it many many times - + it's an intro to Jack Nicholson in I believe one of his first significant roles ("Oh, I've got a helmet" lol!):

Gotta be “Are You Experienced ?”. To this day it makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

Watch Jack's first movie sometime, one of the worst I have ever seen! It was called "Cry Baby Killer"!! It's a doozy!!!

The Ronnettes (as a kid, had a crush on all 3 of them)

 

[sprint]

Buffalo Springfield (more puzzle pieces (in addition to members of Hollies, Byrds) moving toward CSNY / Neil's sig guitar sound popping out)
