So I'm gathering some ideas for a presentation I'm doing in South Korea about the American Hippy.
I need to help my group understand what kind of music the hippies listened to and why (this is only one small aspect of the presentation).
So I'm thinking of my favorite bands from that period, but I don't really know too many psychedelic bands.
Pink Floyd has some stuff that is out there, but I need your suggestion of some really trippy bands that played/were hippies in America.
Probably the biggest known bands were The Byrds, The Doors, Iron Butterfly & Cream.
ummmmm.... the one , the only The Grateful Dead.. Study them and you will know what it's all about.....My brain still sizzles from all that LSD.........PM and i can give you all the links you need.....
Hippie music was way b4 my time, back in the 60's.
Most of their music was listened too while high on acid while they hung out in parks like the one in San Fran.
They used the music in protest against the war in Vietnam.
It was a way for them to express themselves emotionally, spiritually, and politically.
Here are some groups I know of.
Jethro Tull~aqualung
Beatles~lISWD
CCR
Doors
Jimi Hendrix~Purple Haze
Jefferson Airplane
Janis Joplin
Les Zeppelin
Bob Marley
Moody Blues
Yes
Frank Zappa
So my playlist is looking like this [** denotes more psycedelic uses in the songs]
\Pink Floyd - 06 - Hey You.mp3 **
Beatles - 25 - Come Together.mp3 ** (because of the intro)
Jefferson Airplane\05 Somebody to Love.mp3
Jefferson Airplane\07 White Rabbit.mp3 **
Moody Blues\16 - Your Wildest Dreams
pending -> hendrix hey joe and purple haze **
I'm not sure if the Koreans will understand how the music is different from standard pop music unless it's more like the White Rabbit song by Jefferson Airplane that's more trippy and farther away from more generic melodic pop.
I know you guys know some really trippy music.
