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.
issabre
"Cheap Thrills" (Janis Joplin, Big Brother and the Holding Company) - a defining 60's album - (and of course the Beatles White Album and Sgt. Peppers)
"Nuggets" box set (4 cd). This has great early-mid sixties garage rock (beginning of punk) such as "Louie, Louie," "Wooly Bully", "Pushin too Hard," "Liar, Liar" etc.

Also, Wishbone Ash, "Argus" great guitar work for a prog-rock album.
Ok. All of you other old geezers have filled in the music. The best tip I can give from the 60's is:

"Don't bogart that joint, my friend! Pass it over to me. You've been hangin' on to it, and I sure would like a hit!"

Come to think of it, it has worked in every decade since. ;-)
