The most "hippy-ish" songs you listen to?

Sometimes I get self-conscious about my music as it just sounds overly hippy-ish haha, I don't want my housemates to think I'm putting it on.. I just genuinely like it!

I'm on The Beatles atm

I also listen to a lot of Santana and psytrance, and the Monkees and stuff. I'm always learning about new stuff though

How about you?

I listen to folk music. I play folk music. I listen to the stereotypes sometimes. but folk music is where the hippies really found themselves. I think so anyways

 

If they feel that tell them to sod off...I personally love th grateful dead , beatles,canned heat, the rocket boys so keep enjoying your music and being yourself we love u

 

It all depends on the perspective but in the last few years I got massively into roots reggae which often has typical hippie-ish themes. 2 examples:

But I've also been in love with spacy psych rock since my late teens. Never got into the Beatles myself. Hippie blasphemy I know...
My love with most 'hippie music' have in almost all cases started with a musical interest though, not the lyrical aspect (which I generally come to like a bit later on).

 

aw thank you! Back at you

The most hippy-ish track I like is probably All You Need is Love... I think a lot of Beatles is v hippyish though.

I like Grateful Dead too and lost of Woodstock stuff including Soul Sacrifice by Santana

 

I like stuff like Country Joe too but if you're in it for the music I can't imagine why people seem to dig his woodstock performance so much. His albums (especially Electric music) are so much better sounding! I also have been a massive Hendrix fan since I was about 15 but can't really be bothered with his woodstock stuff so much anymore. But yeah that's probably because others are reminded of the subculture etc. and I primarily am interested in the quality of the tunes.

 

I guess on some level I do like the really hippy-ish tunes... I feel they naturally "resonate" with me, and it's nice to kind of spread the hippy joy ^_^

Happy Together - Turtles
All You Need Is Love- Beatles

You're killing me with the Beatles. haha. We've discussed my feelings on that. I can't do hippy music. I'm too high energy for it. I need crazy, fast, loud and mosh pits. As much as you loooove this saying....we have to agree to disagree. haha.

 

Well... some hippy music is high energy!

Like these!

They are newer though, admittedly.

 

Great "hippie" band from Glasgow:

I really really tried to listen to ^those. I couldn't make it a whole minute into either one of them. It's just not something I understand. I feel like I'm at a rave and there should be acid and glow sticks to fully appreciate whatever that is. I just can't do it. That's not really the "high energy" I'm talking about.

lol ah yes, you're one of those "punk" people! hehe ^_^

I mean, I like punk too as we've covered before.. I do like Flogging Molly!

As for more hardcore or kind of... heavy or harsh-sounding punk... in small amounts I do like it. Some Sex Pistols songs are kinda cool. On the whole though I like the brighter stuff like LTJ. I don't think I've been to many heavier punk gigs. It's just a bit... you know, it's kinda crazy and messy and dischordant a lot of the time... like back with Sex Pistols and the crazy noise and guitar smashing! I do like energy and stuff, but there just isn't enough MUSIC there for me! I have the same problem with a lot of metal genres.
