I went in amongst the uncut wheat, made a bed like a deer would, and took off all my clothes but was kept warm by the sun against the still chill early Spring air. I felt one with the good earth, in love with the world, and totally, fully at peace in a way I suspect many here may have seldom if ever known.

They were of the '70s rather than the '60s, and the vocals were sometimes rather overwrought, but did anyone else get into the Strawbs?

Down by the Sea

New World

Tears and Pavan


edit: perhaps the Strawbs were too "Progressive" rather than Psychedelic"...

I'd never heard of them. I'm not sure what I think. There's something that bothers me about 70s music. It's a little too orchestrated, or something... I dunno. They aren't bad. I'll have to listen to some more to get a real opinion.
 
"I am the god of hellfire and I give you... FIRE!!!"😎

Love old Status Quo like Pictures of Matchsticks Men &
Technicolour Dreams. 🙂

I came of age during its heyday, so, hell yeah! I am both proud and grateful to have been a child of the sixties. It was an amazing time.

Yes indeedy it was. When mescaline was still legal - ah, memories. Keep the music coming because not quite all of my memory cells survived those wonderful days - great stuff I haven't thought of in a long time - thanks!
 
I see Tommy James, and the Shondells mentioned here more than once. I really thought of them more as "pop", which was a few notch's above "Bubble gum", that would have been Tommy Roe. However, Tommy did put out a song, pretty psychedelic for it's time, album name the same, called, Cellophane Symphony. Alas, no one here at ATOT will be able to hear it, a shame really.
Keep them coming guys! I'm having a blast, (from the past), with a 600 watt 7.1 surround, with reverb, Mrs Runz downstairs trying to watch something on the Lifetime channel, ----- not so much.
 
so...

this thread should just be titled:

Listen to these songs while tripping balls!

Perk... Mescaline? wouldn't have thought of that one... i know how other drugs make you feel at one with earth (mushrooms) and it is a phenomenal feeling when that happens.
 
I know this may get made fun of, but I am a huge, huge fan of Donovan, and he definitely delved into the genre. I absolutely love his stuff from that era.

The two Tommy James songs I linked are Crimson and Clover and Crystal Blue Persuasion; I think neither of these quite fits the "pop music" genre.
 
why is it that nobody trips anymore? at-least not around me. Every now a days just dances and fucks like bunny rabbits on MDMA. I'd never have the balls to do acid but i have had several (3-4) awesome once in a lifetime experiences while on some good ole mushrooms.
 
Here's one for a whole different set of drugs...

Velvet Underground - All Tomorrow's Parties

Sony's done a good job of scrubbing YouTube, but I'd also put up Dylan's Desolation Row. His work through that period was cerebrally psychedelic. Not weird sounds or anything, but with Daliesqe imagery. Here's the lyrics of his 10 minute masterpiece Desolation Row...

Bob Dylan said:
They're selling postcards of the hanging
They're painting the passports brown
The beauty parlor is filled with sailors
The circus is in town
Here comes the blind commissioner
They've got him in a trance
One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker
The other is in his pants
And the riot squad they're restless
They need somewhere to go
As Lady and I look out tonight
From Desolation Row.

Cinderella, she seems so easy
"It takes one to know one," she smiles
And puts her hands in her back pockets
Bette Davis style
And in comes Romeo, he's moaning
"You belong to Me I Believe"
And someone says, "You're in the wrong place, my friend
You better leave"
And the only sound that's left
After the ambulances go
Is Cinderella sweeping up
On Desolation Row.

Now the moon is almost hidden
The stars are beginning to hide
The fortunetelling lady
Has even taken all her things inside
All except for Cain and Abel
And the hunchback of Notre Dame
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
And the Good Samaritan, he's dressing
He's getting ready for the show
He's going to the carnival tonight
On Desolation Row.
Now Ophelia, she's 'neath the window
For her I feel so afraid
On her twenty-second birthday
She already is an old maid
To her, death is quite romantic
She wears an iron vest
Her profession's her religion
Her sin is her lifelessness
And though her eyes are fixed upon
Noah's great rainbow
She spends her time peeking
Into Desolation Row.

Einstein, disguised as Robin Hood
With his memories in a trunk
Passed this way an hour ago
With his friend, a jealous monk
He looked so immaculately frightful
As he bummed a cigarette
Then he went off sniffing drainpipes
And reciting the alphabet
You would not think to look at him
But he was famous long ago
For playing the electric violin
On Desolation Row.

Dr. Filth, he keeps his world
Inside of a leather cup
But all his sexless patients
They're trying to blow it up
Now his nurse, some local loser
She's in charge of the cyanide hole
And she also keeps the cards that read
"Have Mercy on His Soul"
They all play on penny whistles
You can hear them blow
If you lean your head out far enough
From Desolation Row.
Across the street they've nailed the curtains
They're getting ready for the feast
The Phantom of the Opera
In a perfect image of a priest
They're spoonfeeding Casanova
To get him to feel more assured
Then they'll kill him with self-confidence
After poisoning him with words
And the Phantom's shouting to skinny girls
"Get outa here if you don't know"
Casanova is just being punished for going
To Desolation Row.

At midnight all the agents
And the superhuman crew
Come out and round up everyone
That knows more than they do
Then they bring them to the factory
Where the heart-attack machine
Is strapped across their shoulders
And then the kerosene
Is brought down from the castles
By insurance men who go
Check to see that nobody is escaping
To Desolation Row.

Praise be to Nero's Neptune
The Titanic sails at dawn
Everybody's shouting
"Which side are you on ?"
And Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot
Fighting in the captain's tower
While calypso singers laugh at them
And fishermen hold flowers
Between the windows of the sea
Where lovely mermaids flow
And nobody has to think too much
About Desolation Row.
Yes, I received your letter yesterday
About the time the door knob broke
When you asked me how I was doing
Was that some kind of joke ?
All these people that you mention
Yes, I know them, they're quite lame
I had to rearrange their faces
And give them all another name
Right now I can't read too good
Dont send me no more letters no
Not unless you mail them
From Desolation Row.

Hurdy Gurdy Man
Season of the Witch
Sunshine Superman
Mellow Yellow

A brief side note; despite contemporary rumors, Mellow Yellow had nothing to do with smoking banana peels to get high; Donovan Leitch is quoted as saying the phrase referred to his then-girlfriend's favorite vibrator.
