The Byrds

Favorite album/songs??

 

turn

was sung at a loved ones funeral so it holds special meaning for me

 

Bells of Rhymney
Hey, Mr.Spaceman
All I Really Wanta Do

8 Miles High, fo' sure

 

8 miles high was annoying at best...

Peace

 

Turn also has a special place in my heart.

 

But it was ground-breaking when it came out, for it's style. It had that long piece of noise that seemed to build to a crescendo, like "A Day in the Life" did. :hat:

 

Favorite album : The Notorious Byrd Brothers (1968)

Songs:

Chimes of Freedom
My Back Pages
Goin' Back
Draft Morning
5D (Fifth Dimension)
Get To You
I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better
Wasn't Born to Follow
Hickory Wind

 

The intro to the Byrds' 'Eight Miles High' was influenced by John Coltrane, who David Crosby was big into at the time.

 

I forgot about this...my favourite bird song ever

 

Heeeey, that doesn't count.

 

Yeah, "Chimes of Freedom". I was thinking that, and "Feel a Whole Lot Better". Those seem to stand out to me.:coolgleamA:

 

The Byrds-5D (Fifth Dimension)

Most underrated Byrds song (IMO)

A day in the the life is very cool, but eight miles high, come on give me a break.......

Peace

 

Probly cuz it doesn't have that characteristic 12-string sound.

 

Understandably, day in the life was epic in proportion, but 8 miles high was a milestone, nevertheless. If you say anything else, I'll come up with more big words to use,,haha. :toetap05:
