The '60s-'70s appreciation thread

[cannabis=freedom]

Let's have a thread to celebrate the Golden Era of music! (Imho).

I love how there was often much more of a focus on the instrumentals than the lyrics...and in a melodic way, not a fast/technical way like metal...

Blue Cheer is still around, and touring. They have a new album coming out in Aug. 2007. I had their hit record Summertime Blues, which was even heavier than the version The WHO did.

Of course, Jeff Beck is still playing.

Most of the original members of Canned Heat are dead, but the band's legacy survives with one original member (the drummer, I think), and 3 new ones. Haven't heard them. I've still got my old vinyl copy of Boogie With Canned Heat, as well as several other albums by them.

I haven't seen Velvet Underground mentioned so I think their name should be thrown out there. They were pioneers. The 60's-70's were amazing. Ever since Grunge and Sublime left the scene music has really gone downhill. :( And its sad b/c the 90's cannot compare to the 60-70's.
