what are your favorite bands from the 50's to the 70's? M y favorite band of all time is The Doors.They rock
I'd have to say the Doors also...and the Beatles, of course...the Dead and Buffalo Springfield too...
I live in michigan. very close to traverse city. every year they do the cherry fest and last summer at the fest they did a 1964 tribute. it was great. they sounded so much like the beatles. it rocked.
Hendrix, Coltrane, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, the Beatles... and Yohan Sebastian Bach, that is if the 1650's-1670's count lol
Wow! Already into progressive jazz at 15! Have you heard the album "Bags and Trane" (Milt Jackson and John Coltrane)?
Charles Lloyd, particularly "Journey Within," if you can still find it. One piece has an Indian flute that sounds almost like a baby crying in certain places. My sophomore roommate and I had both attended his concert at Penn State, but he still freaked out when he heard that part on my record! It's also not that often you get to hear a soprano sax, although I think Dick Heckstall-Smith (Graham Bond Org., Colosseum, Bluesbreakers) also played one.
neil young / jimi / hawkwind/ wishbone ash/ jefferson airplane / santana /richie havens / too many to mention man god i would need a lifetime ./peace/
Moody Blues/Quicksilver Messenger Service/Jefferson Airplane/Spooky Tooth/ Dylan/Buffalo Springfield/and many many more...........
...hehe, nobody mentioned the boys, Grateful Dead, Traffic, Hot Tuna, Santana...lots already mentioned. Never was a Doors fan, then or now, just don't do it for me.
..and who can forget the Cowsills.Long as I can grow my hair...cream and of course the Band.Down on cripple creek...Steppenwolf.If I was the president of this land,I'd declare total war on the pusherman...
The cowsills...yeah, I liked those guys...it was so UNCOOL then to say you liked them, at least where I lived, but I felt they were a pretty talented family. Susan, the youngest, is still recording (I think some of her brothers are too), and she just released an album...I haven't heard it, but I'm curious, I may just have to get it. A Blast From the Past, that is for sure!!
Miles was great but my favorite in the jazz catagory was the flute player Herbie Mann--The album Push Push-w/ Duane Almann on guitar-Great
