Recommend me some mid-to-late 60s rock

Do you have The Misunderstood "before the dream faded"? That's good. Pretty wild proto-psych.

Also try Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic Pillow. Maybe.

Try them again!

Do you have both the Nuggets box sets? Those a both great...

P.S. Bubble Puppy is the most unlistenable band ever.

no way, they were great. so was Demian.

Paul Revere & the Raiders, "Let Me"
Crow, "Evil Woman Don't Play Your Games With Me"
Electric Flag, "Groovin' Is Easy" (despite the dated lyrics)
Crabby Appleton, "Go Back"
Deep Purple, "Hush" (just cuz they haven't been mentioned yet)
Rugbys, "You, I" (corny but interesting on first listen, and I love the title)

they are both great. there is no need to choose. just listen to them back to back like i do. then it is just one great big great album.

Bump.

So now I love The Zombies, Love, The MC5, Motown, Stax, Beatles, Byrds, Hendrix, etc, etc; I want some more rocking 60s stuff with hints of psychedelia or jazz...

Also adore Tropicalia.

The Doors! Why not?!??!?

I REALLY like Break On Through and When The Music's Over; everything else leaves me cold. Don't like Morrison.

Early 70s more than acceptable. Keep in m,ind; I dislike Pink Floyd. Who I am listening to right now, in yet another effort to see if I've just missed something. I haven't; they're shite.

Spirit? Or is that too 'rock'?

Moby Grape 1st album.

I much prefer Moby Grape's second album!

That was my other 'recent' discovery, along with Odessey.

You may have to be quick though, as the first three CD reissues were withdrawn for odd "Katz" related issues: forget looking for CD1, cd3 is boring jams, CD2 is still around if you're lucky.

forget looking for CD1 because it's gone, not because it's bad (it's not), just "Wow" is better

Seriously, have you lost your marbles altogether?

The Monkees. The Monkees. The Monkees. The Monkees. The Monkees. The Monkees. The Monkees. The Monkees. The Monkees. The Monkees. The Monkees.

You were saying about marbles?

The Monks - Black Monk Time
The Sonics - Here Are The Sonics
The Byrds - Notorious Byrd Brothers
The Kinks - Something Else
The Beach Boys - Wild Honey

The Action. More of a 60s soul thing than rock, but they were fantastic musicians.
There's a good LP compilation, The Ultimate Action. Some CD issues, like Action Packed, include Wasn't It You, which is a must.

I was never very listy until ILM corrupted me. What can i say, it's been a long winter. the trees are bare. the wind howls. This is inspired by the 500 top noise albums thread i started and which was a rousing success. and that nuggets thread reminded me that i've been meaning to do this for a while. if you hate lists, um, that's fine. anyway, feel free to contribute your fave psych moments from the 60's. any genre. jazzpsych, folkpsych, funkpsych, electropsych. exploitopoppsych. loony/loser/lonerpsych. whatever you want. it should, however, smell like acid, taste like acid, and feel like acid.and it should be something that you really like.remember, not everything with a farfisa and some fuzz guitar was all that lysergically inclined. course, it's all in the eye of the beholder.If you want to add comments, feel free! we can all learn something. and point out stuff that people shouldn't live without. This may take awhile, but i've got all winter. one more thing, feel free to list individual songs."put them in quotes".so many great no-album wonders out there.(if this goes well, i'll start a thread for the 1970's & beyond) Feel free to add reissues of stuff that never saw the light of day until recently.these are not in order of greatness, by the way. that's too hard to do. well, the first 5 maybe.

Did you ever check out Technicolor Web of Sound?

You just recently started loving the Beatles??? I thought everyone was bottle-fed them from the crib.

Seems like you should really give The Kinks another try. If you like the above, I can't fathom why you wouldn't like Face To Face/Something Else/Village Green. Also can't tell if you'd given S.F. Sorrow a shot, or The Small Faces' There Are But Four and Ogden's Nut Gone Flake another try. They are the definition of rocking 60s stuff with hints of psychedelia.

^^^^ugh hate that shit

Ditto

Good artwork tho.

Worthy comps:

A Square (Of Course) 60s Detroit stuff

Friday At The Hideout Ditto

Thank You Friends: The Ardent Records Story Memphis garage & power pop

Never Ever Land International Artists box (loads of Texas psych)

Texas Music #3: Garage & Psych Mo' Texas stuff

3...2...1... "THAT WAS ME, SCOTT, NOT MARIA"

Actually it was me, Maria, block-quoting skot while he's at work

Fastnbulbous list is what you need

Oh Tropicalia is sooo good. I'm specially fond of Jorge Ben 'A tabua de esmeralda' and his self titled from 1969 are amazing.

Here's a few I'd recommend in case you still haven't heard them:

13th Floor Elevators - The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators (Collectables, USA, 1966)
Misunderstood – Before The Dream Faded (Cherry Red, UK, 1966)
Moby Grape - Moby Grape (San Francisco Sound, USA, 1967)
Pearls Before Swine - Balaklava (Get Back Italy, USA, 1968)
Donovan - A Gift From A Flower To A Garden (Collector’s Choice, UK, 1968)
The Flat Earth Society – Waleeco (Arf Arf, USA, 1968)
Mad River – Mad River (Edsel Records UK, USA, 1968)
Savage Resurrection – Savage Resurrection (Mod Lang, USA, 1968)
HP Lovecraft – II (Collector’s Choice, USA, 1968)
Amon Düül - Psychedelic Underground (Repertoire, Germany, 1969)

...free design...

Also can't help noticing you wrote on your hate of Pink Floyd. While I'm not precisely fond of Pink Floyd myself (to be honest I dislike most of their output) I love Meedle. Take a listen to songs 'pillow of winds' or 'fearless', perhaps you might enjoy them, they're slightly different in mood and arrangements than their usual pletora of synthetizers and indulgent guitar solos.

Shocking Blue

earth and fire
mashmakan

cannot believe the Janis hate here.

also, what, no mention of Their Satanic Majesties Request yet??!!

http://www.projections-movies.com/images/dreamers.jpg

"What, you don't like Janis?"

The Millennium

The Neon Philharmonic

Box Tops

I want some more rocking 60s stuff with hints of psychedelia or jazz...

The Soft Machine.

A good one recently recommended on the eMusic thread that you might have missed:

Rodriguez - Cold Fact (touches on many interesting things that were going on in the late '60s - Dylanesque folk-rock with a bit of Motown urban funk and Simon & Garfunkel pop smarts)

^^^there is a thread for that album

there's threads on just about everything mentioned so far.
thanks, thread police.

how can someone not like the small faces? that's just sad. or the kinks!

wow, that list of mine is old now. i still like all that stuff though. someone should really reissue that group image album. i don't think anyone has. i could be wrong.

I have Meddle. Doesn't suck as much as Dark Side, but still sucks. PF are just so... polite, and straight, and boring. The guitar sound is boring. Guitars should NEVER sound boring.

you don't even like Syd-era Floyd...?

cuz the guitar sound on See Emily Play and Arnold Layne is definitely not boring

Maybe the first few Steve Miller Band albums.

Zillions of good things above. A few that might have been missed:

The Lovin' Spoonful Summer in the City

The Sir Douglas Quintet She's About A Mover

Joe Cocker The Letter

The Allman Bros In Memory of Elizabeth Reed

I've never listened to Syd-era Floyd; Waters & thingy-era Floyd have sullied them that much for me. That guitar sound, those lyrics, the, as someone on this forum once put it, "whoah Bodyform" female backing vocals... just hideous.

the fort mudge memorial dump album is good. from '70, but close enough.

EASYBEATS obvs

also love those two Sagittarius albums.
