whose the ultimate hippy band?

i personally think the beatles theyre psycadelic music and hippy lyrics were ahead of the time, but then again the grateful dead really kinda established the festival gatherings as a common event.

 

Can't really argue with that Gotta be The Beatles or The Dead.

 

the ultimate hippie band? grateful dead,jefferson airplane,big brother and the holding company (with janis joplin),country joe and the fish,quicksilver messenger service

 

beatles, jefferson airplane.

 

pink floyd...... no question....

 

in my opinion pink floyd definately ranks high, though i believe the bandmembers themselves kinda didn´t want to be part of it later on.

jimi hendrix is my ultimate hippie musician. might be kinda cliché, but listen to teh sounds of his guitar man! FREEDOM!!

 

greatful dead is the greatist jamband ever. And what I mean by jamband is the live concert music was by far the best. No question. I am glad to have cought a show before jerry died. Unbelieveable 110,000 people in highgate vermont in 95. WOW! havn't seen anything that even compares.

 

jefferson airplane is the ultimate hippie band but i do love jimi hendrix its a hard one.:H

 

grateful dead, not only because of their music (though that was a part of it), but because they congregated so many people for so long and extended the movement from the 60s up into the 90s. And even though jerry's gone, im still groovin to the music.

 

Grateful Dead most deff.

 

Strangers passing in the street,
By chance two separate glances meet,
And I am you
And what I see is me.

 

Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Messenger Service or Jimi Hendrix's bands seem like worthy nominations.

 

Jefferson Airplaine and the Kinks (from 67 to 71)

 

and the Velvet Underground (lick the banana and you go on an acid trip )

 

Hands Down! The Grateful Dead. No one else has captured the spirit for as long and in the same way that they have.

 

Pink Floyd may be a great band to listen to when you're stoned, but Syd was the only one who really fit the hippie mold at all. There's no fucking way you can tell me that Roger Waters is a hippie with a straight face. That said, I'd say the top three hippie bands are Greatful Dead, Phish, and Keller Williams and whoever he is or isn't playing with that particular day. They are all hippies and anyone who listens to their music is at least part hippie. Or maybe Dead Prez... they're vegans aren't they?

 

I dunno, havent herd of them before.

 

what about The Levellers?

 

i would have to say Grateful Dead isthe hippyest band along with jefferson airplane. i say that because they were and still are listeng to hippys everywhere. i know i listen to them both they are my favorite bands.

 

The Dead or Phish

I don't think the Velvet Underground was "hippie" at all Shiny Sky.
Yeah they did drugs but so do Death Metal Bands. lol
