I reminded Micky that his nomination is still missing. Anyway, here on the East Coast we're only 6 hours ahead of Italy, not 8. That would be Mountain TimeWink. If PA's server is located in Quebec, it's the same time as ours.

I elect "Russell Morris - The Real Thing (1969)" as my entry in the poll. Although I prefer "Part Three into Paper Walls", that is more for personal reasons and recognise "The Real Thing" as the track with the greatest appeal, especially to prog fans.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

The real genius behind these tracks was producer Ian "Molly" Meldrum, a person known to pretty much all Australians. "The Real Thing" is the debut single for Russell Morris, and was written by Johnny Young as a slow acoustic ballad, but radically transformed by Meldrum into the heavily-produced studio masterpiece that became an Australian rock classic. The single cost about as much to produce as an entire album at the time, making it the most expensive single then recorded in Australia. "Part Three into Paper Walls", written by Johnny Young and Russell Morris, also reached number one in the charts, making Morris the first Australian artist to score consecutive number ones with their first two singles.

Are you sure?Wink

My fave is the song by The Hollywood Persuaders.

No I'm not sure actually.  I was debating that one but only got Nicki's valuable feedback and she already knows that one, so I wasn't sure which one resonated with everyone else. 

Screw it.  Go ahead and put up The Hollywood Persuaders then.

I know it's easy to miss and it doesn't help that I'm invisible, so here's a repost.  

Please put up The Hollywood Persuaders for my vote.  Thumbs Up

Thanks for the nice thoughts....Smile
I was not aware we were not supposed to vote for songs we knew..or is that just 'your rule'?
I know 24 of the tracks posted...not sure which will end up being nominated from those.
  Just my rule, makes it a little easier on me and I like to learn about new music (to me).  Smile

Oh, well, mathman, we can wait for you until the evening.

Anyway, from your selection I love 1969 by the Stooges but even Psychotic Reaction is very good.

Thanks. I wasn't sure that I'd be able to get on this morning, but here I am. I was between "Ue O Muite Arukou" (going by it's proper title) and "1969", so I'll go with "1969".

I started putting the songs chosen in the poll by looking at your latest posts. Excuse me if I will not respect the order in which you intervened in the thread but I struggle to go back and forth in the pages.

Regarding my nomination, if I wanted to collect some votes, I should probably nominate It's a Beautiful Day, but I'm going to interrupt the rock 'n roll and psychedelia with: Tom Dissevelt - Intersection (aka Twilight Ozone - 1961)

This is an exemple of the electroacoustic (or musique concrète) experimentations, here combined with a jazz instrumentation, that happened here and there in the world. Synthesizers didn't exist yet so these sounds were produced in laboratories by manipulating prerecorded sounds ( electronic and/or tape manipulation) or by electronically generating sounds. In some countries these laboratories were linked to broadcasting corporations: especially the WDR in Germany (Köln), the BBC in Great Britain (where Delia Derbyshire did her pioneering work), Pierre Henry and Pierre Schaeffer a.o. with the RTF in France. In the USA the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center allowed this kind of pioneering work.
In the Netherlands it was the Philips company that created such a laboratory that gave way to the electroacoustic works of Dick Raaijmakers (aka Kid Baltan) and Tom Dissevelt.

These electronic music pioneers influenced some contemporary composers (like Varèse, Stockhausen, Xenakis, Reich and others that I like to listen to and who incorporated electroacoustic elements in their compositions) but they also had a huge influence on the electronic and industrial music that evolved in the 70s, 80s and beyond. Much of their work was very experimental and only for the "happy few", but - as the exemples put up here in this thread show - some also tried to blend it into modern and popular music.

As said before, regarding this decade I listen more to other realms of music. Many of the songs posted here are indeed quite characteristic but they leave me rather underwhelmed. It is not very surprising, I guess, that many of the suggestions tend to the psychedelia of this period, and even regarding psychedelia I prefer what the 70s brought us (with some exceptions amongst which It's a Beautiful Day). So, I won't comment on each and every song but I will highlight some that stood out for me in some way or another:

Gino Paoli's Sassi is a beautiful song but I find his interpretation a bit depressing (I think I heard other versions of this one and I'm still digging in my head to find in which film this song was used...).
Neil Young & the Crazy Horse: great album and a great song; I especially like the violin on this and his singing (I'm less fan of his high pitched singing...). Bonzo Dog, impossible not to laugh. The Bliss song is quite nice too, but I prefer Hotel Hell by Eric Burdon and The Animals - great track this one.
The next one that stood out for me is Chess Fever, yes of course because of that great organ riff. I'm quite surprised by Russell Morris, maybe not outstanding, but especially the first song has some magic over it. Finding some magic again with the Velvet Underground's All Tomorrow's Parties, with Fairport Convention and Crosby, Stills and Nash (in general terms, these three, with It's a Beautiful Day are high-points of this decade to me - Beatles being out of league).
The next that grabbed my attention were The Steve Miller Band, The Young Flowers (wah wah is cool), Ken Nordine (we want more!) and The Stooges, of course.
The rock-'n-roll proto-punk and proto-ska of The Sonics was quite surprising, despite that it's not much my "thing".

But in the end, only three songs that really stand out and that I personally find the most interesting of this batch: Delia Derbyshire's Pot au feu, Galatea's Guitar by Gabor Szabo and Carlos Paredes Variations!
