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

Check out Hot Tuna also, If I remember right that was Jefferson Airplane minus Grace Slick when she was having a baby.

Love - Forever Changes
The Kinks Something Else, and totally and utterly second "Village green preservation society"

Get yourself some CD's of various artists from the 60's and 70's. Like Mistic presents Groovin' or Billboard disks, most will have 20 plus groups per disk. The cd's are only okay for the most part (my wife likes groovin') but it gives you a list to start with. You can also see whom you may or may not like for little money. Most of us from the 60's and 70's sometimes need help remembering group names also but not the music. We had fun though. You can find these at most BJ's and Costco stores. You can also find them at the Salvation Army or Goodwill for a buck!

Vanilla Fudge
Grateful Dead
Pentangle
Cream
Richie Havens
Joe Cocker
Traffic- esp Low Spark of High Heel Boys
(listen to all of these before the smoke clears)

Check out the deluxe edition (2CD) of the "Easy Rider" movie sound track. It's a nice compilation of music from this period.
