Yeas, who do you love... this fantastic Bo Diddley's song was covered within a thousand of bands also by Quicksilver Messenger Service & Blues Magoos, two of my preferred 60's band together with 13th Floor Elevators, Spirit, Seeds, Velvet Underground, Jefferson Airplane and many many others...
You, who do you love in this "magic field"? |

Yes, I know, but Guru Guru wasn't a 60's psych-garage band anyway.... 
Also Italian pop-singer Edoardo Bennato played a song called "Bo Diddley"...

Yes, and you gotta get Nuggets II, an even better compilation. Well worth the $65 it costs new. ------------- "The red polygon's only desire / is to get to the blue triangle." |

Yikes so many of them ... Jefferson Airplane, Spirit, Love, Iron
Butterfly, Vanilla Fudge, Electric Prunes, Strawberry Alarm Clock,
Quicksilver Messenger Service, Moby Grape, Great Society, It's A
Beautiful Day and 13th Floor Elevators ... I think I have about 30
albums by those bands ... and I haven't heard H.P Lovecraft and Pearls
Before Swine yet ... My oh-so predictable Top 5 would probably be Iron Butterfly - In A Gadda Da Vida Jefferson Airplane - Crown Of Creation The Electric Prunes - Mass In F Minor It's A Beautiful Day - It's A Beautiful Day Love - Forever Changes ------------- "Death to Utopia!

Neil Young's Crazy Horse are a great "garage band". No frills, just pure, simple, unadulterated rock & roll.

I love 60's psych, US and UK. Among my favourites are Jefferson Airplane "after bathing at baxters", It's a beautiful day's first album, Love "forever changes". I recommend that anyone who likes dreamy trippy music should check out HP Lovecraft II. Oh yeah, psych fans should check out Sundial's "Other Way Out" from 1990, real trippy dreamy prog-psych. Their subsequent albums are in a more garagey vein. I saw Sundial when they toured with their follow-up album in the early 1990's. My friends band (Stooges-MC5 clones) supported and were actually better, which doesn't say much for their live sound. Other way out is a classic of post-60's psych music, though. Now that I am on the subject I have recorded some of my vinyl collection for a barmaid in my local. Looking forward to see how they go down... |

In the USA I've gotta go with Nazz. On the British side I'd have to say The Move. ------------- "Literature is well enough, as a time-passer, and for the improvement and general elevation and purification of mankind, but it has no practical value" - Mark Twain |

In small doses, Moby Grape - who were going to be THE GROUP TO WATCH, but Alexander Skip Spence liked his chemicals too much. Great Society, HP Lovecraft. However, there is the call for garage/psychedelia - so checking out my Pebbles compilations, I have this perverse enjoyment of Randy Alvey & The Green Fuz - their (Here Comes The) Green Fuzz single is so bad, it is good - and somebody tells me it was covered by The Tubes?? .------------- The best eclectic music on the Web,8-11pm BST/GMT THURS.

The Pretty Things named themselves after a Bo Diddley song. The Move, Nazz, The Masters Apprentice(great Aussie band), The Five Americans, Bubble Puppy, 13th Floor Elevators, The Box Tops, Electric Prunes, Iron Butterfly, Vanilla Fudge, Seeds, Spirit, Love, Jethro Toe(45 only), Tomorrow,...too many to list. Most of my album collection comes from this genre and age.

| The Allman Brothers band were the Allman Joys before they were the Hourglass. The Allman Joys mostly did covers of great Yardbirds tunes. Got to love the Yardbirds for helping create psyche. |

In additional two the original Nuggets set and Nuggets II, there's an interesting Children of Nuggets set (Original Artyfacts from the Second Psychedelic Era (1976-1996)). Among the bands represented (I'm picking some of the more well know) are: Duke of Stratosphear, Bangles, Smithereens, Posies, and so on.
Can't forget to mention that ultimate garage band song, "Louie Louie"!

The Nuggets box sets seem to be creme dela creme of this genre - for warts and all, try the Pebbles series of single CDs.
And you take the words from my mouth: 'Louis Louis' - said it before marvel at the evolution of Don Gallucci from the probably inventor of that riff to what 3 years later coming up with some America's first prog album in the form of Touch - and then 3 years after that producing a punk classic(?) with the Stooges' second album.

Some of my favourites: The Other Half - Mr Pharmacist Randy Alvey & The Green Fuz - Green Fuz The Seeds - Pushin' Too Hard Chocolate Watchband - Don't Need Your Lovin' Love - Seven and Seven Is 13th Floor Elevators - You're Gonna Miss Me ------------- "The disgusting stink of a too-loud electric guitar....

I'm not alone with Randy Alvey - somebody tells me the Tubes covered that tune  . I bought the first Love compilation LP in the late70's/early 80's, compiled by one of the best rock writers of the time John Tobler. John, who seemed to have some clout, insisted Elektra Records married 7 & 7, with the track Is 14 - as apparently Arthur Lee wanted originally. So ever since getting that album I can't hear 7 & 7 without its coda - perversely spread over two of the Love's remastered albums ------------- The best eclectic music on the Web,8-11pm BST/GMT THURS.

I'm a huge fan of psychedelic music of the 60's. I mostly listen to The Beatles, but I know some great songs by Jefferson Airplane, Donovan etc.. I also like The Doors and Jimi Hendrix. Not to mention the psychedelic songs by Pink Floyd (Arnold Layne, See Emily Play etc). But one of the best psychedelic bands that I've heard is STRAWBERRY ALARM CLOCK. They are mostly known for their hit Incense And Peppermints (which is also the title of their first album as well as their compilation album), but they also have many other great songs. I would definitely like to buy their first album, but I can't find it anywhere! The only album I can find is their compilation album, and I'm not interested in that. Does ANYONE know where I can buy the debut album of Strawberry Alarm Clock (on CD)? ------------- And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away in the tidal destruction the moral melee. |

First time I've heard those bands marked in red called 'garage-psych bands.'
I think the bands on the Nuggets boxset are closer to the mark, e.g. (although the Kingsmen are missing on this following list)
