Counterculture music from the ole' hippie days!
I too miss the music of that period. Especially now since all of the radio stations in my neck of the woods had eliminated the oldies format in favor of '80s & '90s music (as if them and their sponsors think us Baby Boomers had completely fallen off the face of the earth - bahh!). Good thing I still have many surviving 78's, 45's, & LP's that I can play on my vintage RCA Victor Hi-Fi (which had been reconditioned over 10 years ago).
I dig alot of Fleetwood Macs work, especially the Peter Green era of '67-'70. Classics from this period like "Homework", "Albatross", "Oh Well" and the original version of "Black Magic Woman" remain high up there as among my personal Mac favs.
Donovan is another favorite. "The Trip" (b-side to "Sunshine Superman" on 45) remains my hands-down fav. Other tunes deserving my mention include "Season Of The Witch", "Hurdy Gurdy Man", "Jennifer Juniper", "Atlantis", and "Rikki Tikki Tavi". I found Donovans story on "Season Of The Witch" quite amusing. To quote Donovan:
Other bands of that period in which are still part of my surviving collection include:"Spooky, but true. I was the first pot-bust in London, followed by The Stones and The Beatles. I wrote this song before the bust. Prophecy again. How dare I be so cool? Its a magic track. And the sorceress, she is dancing her kali dance into the numina!
Iron Butterfly
The Jefferson Airplane
Spirit
Deep Purple
Sweetwater
The Mamas & The Papas
Nazz (Todd Rundgrens original band - the original version of "Hello, Its Me" from '68 is my fav)
Early Bob Seger (Bob Seger & The Last Herd, The Bob Seger System)
Grateful Dead
The Doors
Santana
Ten Years After
Its A Beautiful Day
The Buffalo Springfield
Cream
And much more, but Id better wrap it up for now before I get timed out.
