One "hit" that wasn't even included on their one album.

I am not so sure about psych (not sure what you mean by that... I can read that with various twists) music. Big Rock Candy Mountain was singing about drifting. A hobo's dream. A folk song. I would put Woody Guthrie up there too. He had affinity for writing children's songs too:
Well we could throw Puff the Magic Dragon in here but perhaps something more along the lines of this... one hit and gone really, penned by Rupert Holmes of all people:

Would you say that Supertramp (Raining Again) is forgotten??? I am not sure, I lean it is. Great sax, and usually gr8 piano..
I think music goes by age groups... or for the younger people... who turned them on to what. Sometimes what they were turned on to made them expand their searches but who knows really. I was turned on to the Shocking Blue in a 1964 Falcon... earlier, Same with the Animals House of the rising son.... a Twin Fair parking lot actually.
Beginning of psych music?

Cheesy to an extent, but one of my guilty pleasures... 1982:
Meh... we all have our own. I like a few Bread songs I like but they aren't exactly forgotten songs.

Though I really grew to hate them, Supertramp "Crime of the Century" is a great album...where I am, you never hear them on the radio.
Their stuff is hard to get on youtube, just like Dylan and a few others but here is School. Crime of the Century really is a good one.

T/C...I almost dropped when I heard Telephone Line on the fm last week.
I would think that the first two or three ELO albums are in the forgotten range for a lot of people.

Josh Allen's throws are so strong they change the direction of the wind.
Well, he drinks gasoline instead of gatorade so there's the reason.

I just realized the Chuck Berry/Buddy Holly/Chubby Checker one has to be fake. Buddy Holly died in 1959, and the poster is dated 61.
Yep, that one, the Zeppelin one and the Stones one in that style are bogus for sure... you can find those at flea markets.

Couldn't say... he has too many to even begin to remember. I love his work but I'm not an expert by any means. Some can't stand his work... I for one like it quite a bit.
Kind of like musicians... some like their stuff, some don't... and who really is to argue. No winners.

Yeah, techniques... So did others... But who first took it out of "focus"... Blurred the lines... The impressionist.
I assume you are talking about Salvador Dali and his art. With out impressionism, cubism, dada/surrealism doesn't spring forth.
That Dali for sure. I live 12 miles from the museum as the crow flies. He is a one of a kind IMO... he did things that no one before him had done. One example, imbedding an actual fly in a painting. My favorite painter but I'm not right on that, only for me.

Doesn't that literally describe every great artist, in every medium, in the history of the world?
Not really. Gene Krupa designed the first "modern" drum kit that is still used today. He is the captain of the ship for the drumming world as we still know it.
Dali developed his own techniques that were not used by anyone before him.

The Musical Box for Peter Gabriel Genesis
see them every time they come to Toronto
I have heard about this one and they are reputedly excellent... actually I think the chickie here saw them aways back, I'll have to ask her when she wakes up to go to work.
For anyone in the Tampa area or visiting... Skippers Smokehouse (they smoke everything) at Nebraska and Skipper Rd. has Grateful Dead night every Thursday featuring Uncle John's Band. These guys have been doing it so long that if you look away from the stage you really can't tell the difference. Well over 1,000 shows by now... highly recommended if you are a Dead fan.

The crazy thing is, the most perfect technical drummer ever is Neil Peart and they all never really partied at all. (You Buddy Rich fans are also not wrong but Neil wins this battle for me).
Dave Grohl, Keith Moon and John Bohnam, on the other hand...........
You aren't wrong, but you aren't right either. I've been in a lot of these kinds of discussions on various boards and in real life and I have found that no one is ever right. Its all just what your ears and mind like.
I personally think that Frank Zappa is the greatest guitar player I've ever seen or listened to... but, I'm not right... only to me or someone else that thinks the same. There are too many through time that aren't in the big 20 or whatever on any given instrument.
Heck, any version of Return to Forever blows the windows out of some of these so called greats. But again, I think that but no one can really say who is the "greatest". Apple pie, cherry pie, key lime pie...

Anyone else here into Beatles covers? I actually own this Lp, the kind of music you play when people at the beach start getting a little too close to your area. Believe its from 68'... on Capitol records:

Yes. That documentary is a big part of why I suggest he is a POS human.
He has spent a lifetime reinventing himself and running from his past, going from location to location...and treated his own son like ****.
He's kind of a sad figure actually, especially given the huge amount of natural talent he was born with.
There's a great clip on Youtube from the '60s where an interviewer is asking him if he ever practices playing the drums. Ginger kind of laughs and says "No" but that he used to practice all the time.
It's like he didn't realize how hard it was do what he did easily.
That was in this film too...and yeah, he's crusty for sure.
A 60's music/culture/etc. group I'm in on facebook was talking about him/BD yesterday. His oldest daughter has a book out now and she posted to the group. I mentioned something like "holy crap, I guess I'm hanging with the wrong people if we have his daughter posting here/looking in"... and lo and behold Ginger Baker (or who ever posts for him) liked the post and made a comment that "you'll really love it". Probably his daughter but pretty cool nonetheless.

My memory of fun and games is that it had a giant curvy slide that was very wide, with many "channels" so many kids could go down, in theory, side by side at the same time. I think you went down in like sleeping bag type things.
It was high as I recall, or at least it impressed me as being high as a little kid.
Am I inventing this memory or did that slide exist?
Definitely remember the sign in this photo.
Oh I'm sure it did exist, I don't remember it like you. As far as I can remember riding the slides Anywhere it was always big burlap bags we sat on.

I remember that. I also remember the small amusement park (Fun-N-Games) next to it that had a Wild Mouse roller coaster ride.
http://blog.buffalostories.com/tag/fun-n-games-park/
"Western New York children of the 1970s might remember Fun-N-Games Park just off the Youngmann in Tonawanda. Another instance of amusement rides in a Twin Fair parking lot, the park’s most memorable feature might have been the unconnected roadside attraction in front of it—the whale car wash."
History of the Wild Mouse Roller Coaster
I don't remember Fun&Games, guess we never went there... as a kid my rides fix was Glen Park, and once bigger it was Crystal Beach... Fantasy Island once in a while, they had a Wild Mouse too.

I come to TSW/OTW for fun banter. The rest of the nonsense needs to keep themselves out of here. Sick of the trolls. Sick of the Internet muscles.
Internet muscles are so tiny I'm surprised you even noticed any.
