    British Psychedelia 1967-68

    I've always found there to be something irresistible about the bucolic bliss propagated by the day-glo sounds of '67-68. Whilst their American contemporaries were kicking out the jams in a distinctly more militant, napalm scorched manner, their British counterparts were content to leap into a TS...

    Good Songs That Never Get Airplay

    'Tallyman' by Jeff Beck, as opposed to 'Hi Ho Silver Lining'. Both good songs, but I have never once heard 'Tallyman' on the radio even though it was a moderate hit. 'Ballad of John And Yoko' by The Beatles is also pretty rare on the radio where I'm from- in fact, most of their late period...

    John Peel's 'Perfumed Garden'

    Anyone ever check out John Peel's playlists for his 'Perfumed Garden' show from 1967? It was broadcast on a regular basis during the nighttime slot on Radio London from May 1967 until Radio London was shut down on August 14th, 1967 (as a pirate radio station, it was criminalised.) Of course...

    A 'San Francisco' Inspired Playlist

    Thank you Lou! You're right, 'dated' was probably not the correct term to use. What I intended to say was that the songs on this list are best enjoyed together, as they provide context to each other that helps evoke the atmosphere of the Summer of Love. There were a number of distinct...

    A 'San Francisco' Inspired Playlist

    This playlist follows a similiar intent to my recent 'Swinging London' playlist. Of course, San Francisco was a joint epicentre of youth culture along with London and was also the spiritual home of the hippie subculture. This playlist does not feature solely American acts; rather, I wanted to...

    A Little 'Swinging London' Playlist

    No problem! I'm so glad you and your sister in law found some new gems here. The Sixties really were/are an untapped resevoir of obscure but genuinely brilliant songs.

    60's era song with most meaning?

    Different artists represent different eras of the Sixties, if you're looking for historical as well as sentimental meaning. Bob Dylan encapsulated the early Sixties atmosphere of civil rights and later, anti-war protest. Songs of his such as 'Blowin' In The Wind', 'Masters of War' and 'The...

    A Little 'Swinging London' Playlist

    Thanks Phil! I was trying to create a bit of a 'Riot On The Sunset Strip' vibe but centred around the London scene, so I tried to highlight as many of the London Underground scene's artists as possible. Hope you find some new stuff you like!

    Favorite bands of the British Invasion?

    There really are different 'eras' to the British Invasion and I find each one fascinating. Of course, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones were fixed constants throughout,but it's interesting to compare the different 'waves' of the invasion. FIRST WAVE- 1964/65 The Kinks Dusty Springfield...

    Forgotten Bands of the Sixties

    I hear that the Small Faces were criminally underrated in the US, at least in the Sixties. Thankfully there seems to be a bit of a reassesment of them underway. Truly one of the best mod/psych bands the UK had to offer- and they only lasted around 5 years from 1964-69. Anyway, they're not...

    A Little 'Swinging London' Playlist

    After a bit of an absence (I forgot my password and never got around to resetting it, such is the horror of massed exams) here's a little playlist I intend upon ripping onto a double CD at some stage- the theme being London, circa 1967. I excluded the Beatles and the Stones- too many great songs...

    Jeff Lynne's ELO to team with Ed Sheeran for Grammys

    Great news! Watched their 'Live At Hyde Park' set and was amazed by their ability to replicate their studio recordings. ELO are definitely among the best bands of the 1970's/80's.

    A Day In The Life vs Strawberry Fields Forever

    Can't vote on this one. Potentially the two greatest songs from possibly the greatest band of the 20th Century. It would be like picking between 'Sgt Pepper' and 'Abbey Road'- ie, impossible. My mind changes on this on an almost daily basis.

    Who are your favorite bassists???

    Cliché opinion, I know, but Paul McCartney far and away gets the vote from me. Love John Entwistle and Roger Waters too, though.

    Favorite Album(s) of the 60's

    I have to agree, I don't think the Byrds get enough recognition today despite their critical and commercial acclaim in the Sixties. My favourite album of theirs would probably be 'Fifth Dimension', from 1966 if I recall correctly. Obviously I have a lot of love for all things Beatle so I'd...
