I'd hardly call budgie a hippy band haha
for thier time theyre pretty fucking heavy
excellent band though, thanks for the reminder!
I also love classic rock like Cream, the Who, hendrix along with the general prog thing
can't really think of too many bands drippy / pansy enough for this thread though.
most of what you would think off as being uplifting would be pop rather than rock.
I mean white rabbit is a fucking scary song haha
I used to have a few comps of 60's happy stuff but I couldn't name too mant bands off it , except maybe quo's matchstick men era, traffic etc
