Some less expansive Hippy albums.

Ok, i'm looking for some good music from the hippy era, but the whole long drawn out thing is getting on my nerves. It was cool at first but now it's just getting boring. So what are some good bands and albums of good concise songs?

 

well, what albums from the hippy era have you heard, or what are you favourite sixties albums?

 

Most of the Rolling Stones, The Byrds, The Beatles, Dylan, Zep. But i am really wondering if anyone can recommend the Small Faces. I love the Faces, but no one has ever mentioned the Small Faces to me.

 

if your looking for good hippy music, the only good stuff is buy the byrds.

 

there is all you could want for free at www.archive.org

 

jefferson airplane -surrealistic pillow
Beattles - revolver
Jimi Hendrix - electric ladyland
Grateful dead - working mans dead, american beauty, skeletons in the closet

those are probably my personal favs at this moment......

 

You're an ass. You have no idea what you're talking about.

HonkyTonk, I would seriously check out Love's Forever Changes. It's one of the 60's best albums. Also, The Yardbirds' Roger the Engineer, The Who's The Who Sell Out, Pink Floyd's The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, The 13th Floor Elevators' The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators, and The Zombies' Odessey & Oracle are good.

 

i can recommend the small faces. Ogden's Nut Gone Flake is their masterpiece. Other great albums besides the ones mentioned by Lucifer Sam are the beach boys' Pet Sounds, the kinks' The Village Green Preservation Society, the soft machine's Volume 1 and Volume 2, Tomorrow's Tomorrow, country joe and the fish' Electric Music For The Mind And Body and the pretty things' S.F. Sorrow.

 

here are a few suggestions - Todd Rundgren, Brian Eno, The Incredible string band, Roy Harper, Little feat, Robin Trower, Leonard Cohen, Hawkwind, Soft Machine, Warren Zevon, The Band, Pentangle, Quintessence, Nick Drake, Doctor John, Joni Mitchell, Captain Beefheart.......

 

The suggestions of The Pretties SF Sorrow, Tomorrow, and Quintessence are superb choices BTW for good melodious and concise tracks on hippy era albums IMHO. Quintessences "In Blissful Company" is a great album and late 60's British psych pop don't get any better than SF Sorrow IMHO.


A couple more might be the US edition of Donovan's Sunshine Superman.

and also maybe not so hippy but more "Flower Punk" would be The Seeds "Future" album, great flower power era sounds all the same
