RichStadiumGuy Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 How about Alvin Lee & Ten Years After? I bought the "A Space In Time" album when it first came out and it got so worn out from playing it so much that in a year's time I had to buy a second one! And that rendition of "I'm Going Home" they did at Woodstock turned a couple hundred thousand burnt out hippies into screaming maniacs pretty freaking quickly. I was there and all I can say is... what a TOTAL rush THAT was in the wee hours of the morning!! Â And let's not forget Iron Butterfly and that insane drum solo in "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"! Who didn't freak out the first time they heard the long version of that one played on their "stereos" back in 68? Seventeen minute songs played in their entirety on the radio were unheard of before that one came along. Â I bought my first car shortly after I got my license when I turned 16 back in 1968 and the first thing I did was install a brand new AM/FM radio with a built-in 8 track player in it and a couple of heavy duty speakers. It just had an AM radio with one speaker in the center of the dash when I bought it so the sound system upgrade was a severe necessity being a 16 year old. Yeah... I was without a doubt one of the coolest juniors in high school :) Â Â 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is 1970 so technically it doesn't fit Perfectly in this thread. But the song is PRIMO and It belongs posted imo They were speaking the truth.

More so than one of the 60's other real innovators - Arthur Lee, who was once described as a southern American black blues singer sounding like a northern English white blues singer trying to sound like a southern American black blues singer...

Greybeard Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited)  My DaCapo favorite. Arthur Lee had a sound in his head and it took long time for the drummer to get it right. I've posted their Glastonbury version before and it's worth going to Youtube to see. This is the original.  From the "Forever Changes" album, one of the best of the unknown albums of the 60's. They were probably 3-5 years too early with their music.           Edited March 23 by Greybeard 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the one track ever written for the band not penned by the band themselves. It was written by Townshend's pal/roadie/chauffeur/hanger-on Speedy Keen, kicking off the 1967 (!!!) Sell-Out album.   And here's the tie-in on your 1969 theme: Speedy would eventually join a band put together by Townshend (who played bass on the track under the pseudonym Bijou Drains) and have this monster #1 chart hit - something the Who never got close to, incidentally.   Edited March 24 by Ralonzo 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevWarRifleman Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 My God, what a great thread!!!!  I went through high school in the 60's and these songs I remember dearly. It was a "fast" decade because so many things were changing & the rock music was at the head of those changes. Rebellion was the thing. I grew up in Western NY so naturally, I'm a Bills fan. But, for my senior year in baseball, I painted my spikes white as a tribute to the rebellious Joe Namath.    Go Bills!!!!    2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Something In The Air" which you just posted right after a Who post made me tear up. . Thank you for the gift. beautiful sweet sounding song from back in the day fits my mood .

Â Â Â Andy "Thunderclap" Newman's piano solo is what carries "Something In The Air" for me. Here is a live version. Newman looks as if he is from a different generation than the others, although he was only 27 when the clip was recorded. Â Â Their follow-up single, "Accidents", was also a success in he UK.

The Frankish Reich Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Time for me to put in a plug for my favorite podcast ever: Â https://500songs.com/ Â A ridiculously ambitious project of one guy, Andrew Hickey. Even if you thought you knew the history or rock music front-to-back you'll learn things. For example, I never knew about his guy till I heard one of his paid bonus (1 buck a month!) episodes: Jackson C. Frank, from Buffalo, a survivor of the horrific Cheektowaga school fire (something else I never knew about even though it was not that long before my time).
