Hippy 60's psychedelic make love to the world music!

[Reign in Acai]

Liz, Nad, Doomcy, Tila, anyone else.

Can any of you recommend some great happy happy joy joy 60's music that isn't too gay, but still will make you want to run naked through a corn field?

What I have in mind is anything that sounds like the ending song to 40 yr old virgin. "Aquarius".

 

[NAD]

Will make you want to run naked through the psych ward, there is truly nothing quite as bizarre as this album. It's like a cross between Wind and the Willows and John Wayne Gacy on a Boy Scout camping trip.

This is my favorite "frolicking" moment of Tull, unless you count the main theme of Thick as a Brick.

RULES RULES RULES RULES RULES. This is as much jazz as it is rock I suppose, and the title track is beyond amazing.

These aren't superfruity by the way, I'm not really into that kind of stuff.

 

[Reign in Acai]

I shall investigate these further. Much obliged. :tips cap, and heads off to bed:

 

[Necromunchkin]

So rules

Best Floyd album (ok, tied with Meddle)

On topic: A conservative Bush voting hippie will probably not like these:

 

[NAD]

Gah, why don't I own any Love.

Also like, what other Traffic should I have? I just have Barleycorn.

Love is the most simultaneously bizarre/happy band to come out of the 60s and that is really saying something. Forever Changes is consistently rated one of the best albums EVER.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

It is by far the best 60s album imo

 

[lizard]

an alternative is Love's Love Story , a two disc compilation that includes ALL of forever changes. If you've got this, you ALMOST need no more, although the Forever Changes Concert CD is really enjoyable, with Albert Lee in fine form after getting out of prison.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Their s/t and "Da Capo" are very good albums, essential only if you like/own "Forever Changes" of course.

 

[lizard]

yes, forever changes would be the definite starting point. factoid: Rhino Records basically got their start with their first Love single disk compilation.

Jefferson Airplane owns, but only the early stuff is what you'd call happy. Bless it's Pointed Little Head is a stellar live CD.

David Crosby on the left, when he had hair and his own liver. two of these other guys are dead.

You probably heard "Witchwood", that's the only song of the album that can be considered "dark". The album is generally "bright".
Btw only The Incredible String Band album is "60s" or "60s psychedelia" (kinda). Caravan is from a totally difference scene, and The Strawbs are more prog/folk.

 

[lizard]

Sandy Denny was in Strawbs, for an album right? and in Fairport. An amazing vocalist.
