The Byrd ,and psychedelic,.. rock thread. .

Got tired of Metallica ,Led Zep , and the Doors .. Hendrix ,overplayed in my mentality. Went to the Byrd 's greatest hits... Help me ,to sanity . Show me good '60's music :(
Today's music, couldn't blow up a children's balloon ,with creavitivity.
Help...

Ok.
We can go all over the place with this.
You list Metallica. But that is not 60s music.
If we can go into the early 70s lets mix some Metallica with Pink Floyd and what do we get?
HAWKWIND!
( Beware, not all Hawkwind is created equal)


Yes Hendrix is "overplayed". You are right.
I find Hendrix's music "uncoordinated"
(Johnny Winter was also at Woodstock but look who got the publicity.)
So let's go with the incomparable "Bridge Of Sighs" by Robbin Trower as an alternative to Hendrix.

Too bad the Allman Bros sucked all the energy from Capricorn Records.
One of the great injustices of life.
The first two or three Captain Beyond records never get old.
(Bobby Caldwell....speaking of Johnny Winter. How could it not be killer drums)


Even though Jack Black calls Led Zep "gods", IMO Led Zep tends to be "pretentious".
If we are going to "mine" the 60s, check out the early MOVE.

(And don't neglect the later MOVE and Roy Wood solo!!!!!!)


The B side of this single.


Well, could go on and on.
But does anyone besides me prefer the "Bob Welsh" Fleetwood Mac to the Buckingham/Nicks Fleetwood Mac?
Christine Mcvie voice is also better that Stevie Nicks as well.
(Too nasal)

Oh, almost forgot Hydra as an alternative to Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Boogie!
