Greatest Rock/Hippy album or song?

Agreed. I wasn't there but those were both top selling albums of their years!

 

right now, i would definitely say:

The Beatles - "The White album"

I could easily die, while they sing "happiness is a warm gun"
and i wouldn`t regret it! Fantastic and awful....

but there are many more....

Fred

 

Eric Burdon Declares War

 

Well, Its not a famous album by any means, but I think It does the best job of envoking the 60's Power of Love feel Is Richie Havens-Richard P. Havens, 1983 For song, I would also have to pick "Just above my hobby horse's head" Off the same album.

 

Pink Floyd- wish you where here album... come on who's better than David Gilmore

 

1.Piece of my heart, Mr. Tambourine man, San Francisco..
2. Are you experienced, Surrealistic pillow, Cheap trills...

 

Revolution (Beatles) People Got to be Free (Rascals) Born to be Wild (Steppenwolf)
Won't get Fooled Again (The Who) and Hello I Love You (Doors)

There're many more but this are my top 5.

 

Imagine certanlyyyyyy, Give peace a chance, Love, Mind games ( John Lennon), Jimi hendrix - Freedom, The beatles- all you need is love, Joni Mitchell-California, Woodstock...

 

hippie album-jefferson airplane:surrealistic pillow----hippie song-beatles:all you need is love

 

The Who - Overture

 

I have to say one of my all time favorites has to be Crosby stills and nash's self titled album. the whole cds really hits me.

 

I really agree with the Crosby Stills and nash self title album... has to be one of my fav albums of all time!

 

crosby stills nash and young! it just might be my fav album ever

 

ya def an all time favorite, i totally connect with the lyrics. you dont have to cry, wooden ships ..amazing. cant forget about hopelessly helping too.

 

Love's Forever Changes

only album i've heard that so beautifully captures the reality of the 60s that existed for anyone who did not drop into the counter-culture from a well-off white family

 

ofcourse it is THE Beatles..all theirs songs.......

 

Turn, Turn, Turn - The Byrds

It's always on all these hippie movies.

 

'Comfortably Numb' by Pink Floyd is the best.
'Machine Gun' by Band Of Gypsys (Jimi Hendrix, Billy Cox and Buddy Miles) is a close second.
'That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore' by The Smiths.

And, in no order:

Both parts of 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' by Pink Floyd,
'All Along The Wathctower' by The Jimi Hendrix Experience
'Stairway To Heaven' by Led Zeppelin
'Love' by The Cult
'One' by Metallica
'How Soon Is Now?' by The Smiths
'Purple Haze' by The Jimi Hendrix Experience
'In The Evening' by Led Zeppelin
'Texas Flood' by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble
'Welcome Home (Sanitarium)' by Metallica
'Tomorrow Never Knows' by The Beatles
'Gimme Shelter' by the Rolling Stones

Loads of others, but mainly anything else by Pink Floyd or Jimi Hendrix.

 

Give Peace a chance-John Lennon
The American Beauty album- Grateful Dead
So many!!!!!!
Peace

 

for me it has to be Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young's album " deja vu"
