The old timers give the young'ns tips on the 60s.


I love the music of the 60s...it was such a magic time musically. Unfortunately I wasn't born yet. Of course, we young'ns know about the greats....CSN, Jefferson Airplane The Doors, Neil Young, CCR, the obvious ones...but it took me awhile to find Moby Grape, Richie Havens or Nick Drake. How about some tips of some great sixities music that somehow has dropped off the radar.

Of course when Joe wasn't on mind altering substances...he made some really good music..if just a bit of an acquired taste!

i've always felt that the kinks "village green preservation society" was one of the more underrated albums of the 60's.
OK, lets work on the term 60's music are we pre or post Beatles. For Early work the Beach Boys, start with Pet Sounds. They say this album inspired Sgt. Peppers. Jan an Dean, probably best for Dead Man's curve or perhaps Sidewalk Surfing. You might try the Surfaris also.

Ok dating myself and when music really started getting in the blood.
