A thread to celebrate the tunes of The Association!! These California psychedelic pop rockers and openers of the Monterey Pop Festival still perform in 2011!!



But along with alot of great songs there is alot of history! Share yuor knowledge,memories,favorite songs and groove out!!


There have been quite a few changes, break-ups, reformations and many things to talk about for sure!!

Re: The ASSOCIATION

I only have a compilation album of theirs but I get waves of nostalgia sweeping over me when I play it. We even sang two of their songs in grade 7 music class...well sing is a generous term.

Re: The ASSOCIATION

I've been an Association fan for as long as I can remember.............literally. My parents both liked them and Windy was one of the first songs that I can remember listening to. That and Runaway by Del Shannon.

The Association's music just makes ya feel good.

Re: The ASSOCIATION

I still really dig their version of One Too Many mornings

This band had amazing talent. The harmonies that they possessed on each song were definitely some of the best if not the best. I think they were rather underrated other than the songs "Windy" and "Cherish".

I think the Moody Blues new sound of 1967 was strongly influenced by the Association.

Never My Love was my favorite, closely followed by this song:
