Rather boring, orthodox choices for the Doors, Jimi, JA and Pink Floyd, Logan - but gets the ball rolling. I'll check out these lesser known ones over the next few weeks. Thanks for the links!  ------------- “Living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea.” |

Getting the ball rolling is part of the game. Yes, they are rather on the orthodox side, although The Hendrix one may not be terribly well-known even to many classic rock fans. I started out thinking of the Pink Floyd song, so this poll led from there, and of course I had a lesser-known Jefferson Airplane track in my last poll of which this is a semi-sequel (I do love "White Rabbit" and those others you mentioned have a significance to me from my teenage years). I think it's rather fun to combine some very well-known tracks with fairly obscure ones (that potentially brings in people who might not post and look into the others otherwise). Originally, I was just going to do a few (six or seven again), this time of an "Astronomy Domine" ilk, although I was faring worse trying to think of ones of the period like "Astronomy Domine" than with "Interstellar Overdrive", so I dropped that idea and just went for a variety of psych infused songs without worrying much if they were close in sound. |

Some mighty fine tracks on that list...very hard to choose just one but.....I'm going for The Red Telephone by Love....Forever Changes is a brilliant album that gets overlooked by many. Play it now if you have a copy.....perfect music for the end of summer. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

Nice to see Red Krayola (I suggested them long time ago and were rejected), but I think that Astronomy Domine is unbeatable. The sound of the lyrics makes it special...floating down the sound resounds around the icy waters underground...it's pure genius. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie.

Astronomy Domine is terrific track, and I remember your Red Krayola suggestion thread. I'm not sure how many of these in my poll are included in Prog Archives (I added Gun the other day to Proto-Prog). Of course I like all of these tracks considerably, but right now, I guess it's between Love's "The Red Telephone", The Incredible String Band's "Very Cellular Song", International Harvester's "Skördetider", The United States of America's "The American Metaphysical Circus" and David Axelrod's "Holy Thursday". The Pink Floyd, Cream and many others are actually right up there too. My initial list was longer, but I had to scale it down to 25 (I was especially sad to drop a Leonard Cohen and Donovan song, which had nothing to do with a lack of love of those songs, but I felt that they didn't fit quite so well as some others). There are so many great albums and songs of the time travelling down these musical avenues. Like Doug, were I to pick just one, I'd probably go with the Love. Forever Changes is a brilliant album, and even though the end of summer here is wet and cold like an Autumn day, it's still a great album to listen to. I think that "The Red Telephone" was the first song that I heard off Forever Changes, and it's an almost transcendent song for me (I can't describe the feeling I get from it). I Love it. By the way, when I was editing my poll and first post, I accidentally edited out the paragraph where I mention that this is a multiple-choice poll, so if anyone wants to vote for multiple tracks, go right ahead. |

I actually had Suzanne (1967) in my list, one of my all-time favourite songs, and I had the Byrds Eight Miles High from 1966 (another all-time fave of mine) before scaling it down and limiting it to 1967 and 1968 (those were two of the first I thought of when making the psychedelic list). Considered some of the others too. For another, I was sad not to include Donovan's "Hurdy Gurdy Man". |

| Kudos to Logan for some exceptionally classy choices. (My only kvetch is that White Rabbit is the last JA track that I would have picked, given that After Bathing at Baxter's came out the same year, and even most of the tracks on the more commercial Surrealistic Pillow were better.) Of course, that made voting all the more difficult. There are literally only 3 out of the 25 that I don't know and love. After considerable thought, I finally narrowed it down to the Quicksilver and the Serpent Power and went with the latter because such a great, but obscure, track needed some love. I hope it gets more than just me. |

I think I know all of these to some extent - or have known. Only a handful are fresh in my mind Listened to Gun last week and always had a soft spot for The Sad Saga of the Boy and the Bee... maybe I should just vote for it...no one else is gonna.

Ya, "8 Miles High" is possibly the earliest psych classic...pretty impressive it was way back in '66. I forgot "Hurdy Gurdy Man" too, next to the mellotron drenched "Breezes of Patchouli" my fave Donovan song.

^ Your post came in as I was composing this. I've heard a few great covers of Hurdy Gurdy Man, don't think I've heard Hillage's. Actually, if I were to do a Donovan, it would be Atlantis. I did a poll years ago with Atlantis and Cohen's Suzanne.
I'd be interested to see your own 25 option psychedelia poll of the period. I promise to vote for at least one of your choices and maybe recommend another based on your poll choices as well (hopefully it would be something new to you that you would enjoy). I often think what an epic waste of time creating polls as it always seems to leave someone one disgruntled or unappreciative of the effort. I would suggest that if you can't find anything to comment on that is in the list, then you should probably just make your own poll. I'm always happy to hear of other choices that fit well with the others in the list, but I do wish that people would comment on my actual choices too. Which of these would you recommend not worthy of recognition in the poll and so should be replaced with the Beatles and which song by the Beatles? Not that I will change it now. I did have The Beatles on a longer list ("A Day in the Life"), but they get plenty of attention and I was thinking about doing a second poll (I've often done these as series). Perhaps I should have avoided all the big names in retrospect. I am hoping that someone will discover something new to them that they enjoy when I make such polls. As for the inclusion of White Rabbit, I do think that Socrates has a point. I was planning to include one off After Bathing at Baxter's, but hadn't decided which one, and so went for a well-known one. I tend to second-guess myself, partially because I've had many comments over the years with people claiming that I choose obscurities for the sake of being obscure, and this time I wanted to include some big names with many ones that I feel worthy of more recognition. Had I left off all big names, then perhaps someone like Rednight would have happily chosen a more obscure one (assuming that he either knows it or takes the time to listen to the youtube vids that I linked to). |

Sorry for bumping an old poll of mine, but I liked this one (one I put quite some thought into, though perhaps not enough. Do wish I had chosen another Jefferson Airplane one even though I love "White Rabbit" -- I wanted at least some really well-known ones in the list).

See page one for my response.
I love Incense and Peppermints, but as I said one page one, I was planning to do a second poll. I do think that was in my longer list, in fact I remember it was as well as some others that were mentioned by people, but then I didn't feel like doing the second part because, well, it seems some people are hard to please and it does take quite a long time to put together. These are a lot of effort. Not sure if you missed my response to you on slighting the Beatles on page one as you failed to respond. I ask again, please consider making your own polls if you don't like my choices. Somehow I very much doubt you know all of them or took the time to listen through the choices you didn't know before mentioning those others. You might have found something you liked well-enough to mention. I won't complain about you leaving off my favourites on lists of your favourites. If you come up with that 25 of your personal choices of this ilk, I'll be amazed if I can't find one to comment on positively. By the way, as I have said so many times that I must sound like a broken record, I'm happy with people mentioning others, but I prefer it when people also comment on my choices. I do that in other people's polls; for one, it seems more polite to me, and two, I like to show my appreciation for what's being offered if it's the kind of music I am into (especially happy if I discover something new-to-me that I enjoy thanks to polls). Sometimes when I've disliked or felt really lukewarm about everything on a list and "other" was an option, then I have just mentioned my "other" choice. For instance: Question: What is your favourite album of all-time? Option 1: Hot Booty - Hot Booty's Dance Party Mix Volume 6 Option 2: Chainsaw - The Sounds of Chainsaws 'n Screams Option 3: Windy Carlos and The Amazing Bottom Band - Beans on Toast Option 4: Nails on A Chalkboard - self-titled Option 5: Cowboy Bob - Trucks, Guns, and Jesus Option 5: Construction Site and the Wolf-Whistlers - Sounds Recorded On the Job as a Pretty Girl Walks By Option 6: Other I vote other for The Dung Beetles - Magical Mystery Turd |
