Not to sure what defines a hippie band ...

My two picks are Hot Tuna and Ani Difranco.

 

well Hot Tuna was well known. hippie music would be anything popular between 1966 and 1970. 71 72 and maybe 73 was the album golden rock era. hip but not really hippie. more like the spoil rotten kids of the early 70s.

 

When I think about the good love you gave me, I cry like a baby
Living without you is driving me crazy; I cry like a baby
Oh, I know, now, that you're not a plaything
Not a toy or a puppet on a string

(bass break)

As I look back on a love so sweet, now, I cry like a baby
Every road is a lonely street; I cry like a baby
Oh, I know, now, that you're not a plaything
Not a toy or a puppet on a string

Today we passed on the street
And you just walked on by
My heart just fell to my feet
And once again I began to cry

(electric sitar break)

When I think about the good love you gave me, I cry like a baby
Living without you is driving me crazy; I cry like a baby

(instrumental break) Oh, I know, now, that you're not a plaything; I cry like a baby
As I look back on a love so sweet, now, I cry like a baby
Every road is a lonely street; I cry like a baby
My heart just fell to my feet, I cry like a baby
You left the water running
I cry like a baby

 

Jimi Hendrix, Great Society/Jefferson Airplane, Iron Butterfly

Hot Tuna was what Janis Joplin's band was called after she went to The Old Rock n Roll Place in the sky, Hippie they were.

 

The Grateful Dead because they always make me get up and dance + Jerry Garcia is an amazing guitar player
and Jefferson Airplane...because i like the sound...

 

Patsy Cline, Jim Reeves, and later Tammy Wynette and Charlie Rich.

 

Could someone, pray tell, define what constitutes a "hippy band"? Is it a group of musicians who also happen to be hippies? Given that scenario, there could be many categories herein, from Sepultura to Strawberry Alarm Clock and Aphex Twin to Phish. Or is there a sound-specific genre that qualifies this nomenclature? I think that labeling a musical genre based on a social-strata model (the subculture in question being "hippies") is kind of silly, no offense intended. I've been called a "hippie" and love every genre of music I can think of, to varying degrees. We're ALL human and it's ALL music..dig? Leave the labeling to corporations...

 

Beatles, Doors, Jefferson Airplane and more

you can't have just 2

 

I dont leave any room for corporates to label anything.

 

Jack Casidy(OMG...what a bass player) split from Jefferson Airplane and formed Hot Tuna. He's still rockin.
