Strawberry fuckin' Alarm Clock

I like: 'The Birdman Of Alcatrash' & 'Hummin' Happy'.
I think that the S-A-C. were a band as equal as JeffersonAirplane?Doors/GratefulDead etc. in terms of musical brilliance & opulence.

 

OK. A bit like Freddie & The Dreamers were equal to The Beatles?

 

Freddie & the Dreamers had an absolutely massive string of hits in America,including a number one.

The Strawberry Alarm Clock were good enough to be playing gigs with The Jimi Hendrix Experience in June 1967.

 

Heard the song Barefoot In Baltimore the other day for the first time and I digged it.

 

yep pure truth... religions let imagine his members about the whole mistery of god ,human kind and universal love...but ... but with a sugar cube it's much easier to imagine god ...he can even take form and you can ride with him into the tunnel of love... but beyond a stone the risk is waitin' with red eyes & his 2 horns...he can take the control of your apocalyptic train for a journey to the center of the magma...

 

My favs are

PRETTY SONG FROM PSYCH OUT
SMALL PACKAGE
BIRDS IN MY TREE
WORLD'S ON FIRE
RAINY DAY MUSHROOM PILLOW
STARTING OUT THE DAY
INCENSE & PEPPERMINTS
LOSE TO LIVE

ps is it the same Ed King who was in lynyrd skynrd

 

Yes, it's the same Ed King, who is back in the latest lineup, of Skynrd...I think,

Skilletdawg

 

They are my favorite band...besides the lemon pipers.

 

Yes, it is the same Ed King.

The SAC is so good, if you really listen them. They are simple, yet complicated. Artsy, yet catchy. Groovy, yet pop. Underground, yet had a commercial quality and appeal.

I love them. They are in my Top 10 favorite bands of all-time.

 

You need some Rare Earth in your life.

 

Yeah, they are a good band. A little lighter and mellower than Floyd, but still good. I like that song "Time With The Guru".

 

Ive heard the Incense and Peppermints album and a best-of album(I think) and I love them

 

Incense and Peppermints any times i hear that song the 1960s flashes on my mind . The real deal is this fuck up FM radio station hardly ever play it. "i dont care i have the MP3 .

 

Yes, Rare Earth is badass as well.

 

i Have Rare Earth, matter of fact i had on on the defunt 8 track tape. long long ago.

 

Born To Wander
Rare Earth

There's nothin' you can do girl,
There's nothin' you can say.
You're talkin' to the sky girl,
I just got to get away.
Got to hear the wind song
Singin' in my ear.
Got to get it on girl
And I'll never make it here.

'Cos the wind was my mother,
The highway is my brother.
I was born to wander,
And it's time for movin' on.
I was born to wander,
Turn around and I'll be gone, gone, gone.

I'm just followin' my heart girl,
And it's followin' the sun.
Lookin' for an answer
I know may never come,
But I gotta chase my dreams girl,
Like a river to the sea,
Got to find a rainbow,
That's waitin' there for me.

'Cos the wind was my mother,
The highway is my brother.
I was born to wander,
And it's time for movin' on.
I was born to wander,
Turn around and I'll be gone, gone, gone.

 

Holy Shit...THAT IS MY FAVORITE RARE EARTH SONG!

 

I love Psyche-out and that's where from I heard Srawberry Alarm Clock for the first time.I just fell in love with them!Unfortunately I cant find any of their albums where I live.

 

I've got a shitload of S.A.C.

I love 'em!
