A Music Thread: Psychedelic Edition

tie dye crocs.jpg

[Hat Tip: anonymous Moron who sneaked into Garrett's closet]

We think of the 1960s as the birth of so many malign trends in America. The convulsions of the student protests on campuses, the race riots, the assassinations, the explosion in drug use, the corporatization of our military, and a litany of other things that can rationally be called the beginning of our current difficulties.

But...damn! The music was great! And I'm not talking about just the late 1960s with The Beatles and The Stones and The Who and Led Zeppelin and so on...

The early-to-mid 1960s -- with that wonderful 1950s influence still around -- produced some wonderful music. Maybe not as influential and popular as the later stuff, but there was a simple joy in the music that is hard to beat. Plus it is so very, very, easy to listen to! How much late Beatles can you hear before you say, "I'm out!"

Besides, the ladies in the first two videos are wonderfully dressed to go along with their sweet voices. I'll take that any day over our current crop of synthetic female vocalists who don't set foot on stage without their stylists and their auto-tune technicians.

Don’t ask, we have these fights periodically like best Elvis song, best beetles, etc. Anyway, he sent me Until I met You Judy Rodman, I could not get bast the first few bars, it is awful. I suggested Etta James’ I’d Rather Go Blind, so know we are arguing if that is a love song or a break up song, hence being a disqualifying entry. Late 60s, but the sound is just so cool.

16 I'm not fans of those except for the Supremes, much more a Beatles/Dylan/Stones and beyond for the 60's. There would have been some good blues and bluegrass then though.

Wet Leg is very good, the handful of songs I've heard. Girls who play guitar and rock.

I have been very, very impressed by the music posted on here, most right up my alley and the ones that aren't are still very good. No cheesy pop. I really loved the Zappathon.

27 That Jackie Wilson tune reminded me why the Ghostbuster used it to call up the good vibes required to move the Statue of Liberty. Jackie and Marvin Gaye passed away in the same year of 1983. The next year the Commodores (san Lonel Richie) made a song about them "Night Shift' that went to the top.

35 Yes! The late 50s-early 60s were the greatest decade in recorded music. Regional labels, like Chess, Motown, Atlantic, Sun, and Verve recorded the sounds that are the foundation our popular music to this day. It was also a great era for recorded classical music, with RCA, Mercury, Columbia, Nonsuch, and other labels recording great performances without mucking them up with "noise" suppression or digital remastering.

Anyone who loves Motown, like I do, needs to check out the documentary "Standing in the Shadow of Motown", which is about the Funk Brothers, the Motown house band, who were the musicians behind all of the great Motown recording artists. The highlight of the film is a concert, filmed in 2003, with the surviving Funk Brothers reprising some of their greatest hits. "Standing" is, I firmly believe, the best music documentary ever made, period.

I saw Gary Wright, followed by Peter Frampton, followed by the Beach Boys probably in '76 or so at Three Rivers Stadium. The stadium emptied after Frampton finished his set.

(There is also a Absolute '50's, an Absolute '70's, an Absolute 80's station, etc). The 60's station isn't just Brit Invasion stuff (although you'll hear songs there by Marianne Faithfull and other singers who were big in the UK but never really became big stars here), they play lots of Motown, Elvis, Sinatra, etc. And the commercials are interesting - apparently a lot of Brits have gotten themselves into fixes with timeshares in the Canary Islands and Spain...

My parents grew up in southside Chicago, and would regularly travel to Detroit as kids to see the various Motown acts.
C&W was definitely not a thing in my household, nor was rock or punk.
Wasn't until I joined the Army that I was exposed to other genres besides R&B, Soul, or Pop.

He was politically conservative and a very devout Christian and talked to me a lot about how frustrated he was over the blind loyalty his family had to the Dems. He loved Motown too and would compare the romance of Motown tunes to crude rap garbage. "We blacks produced such fantastic music from gospel to jazz to Motown. What happened?"

105 >>I would welcome the return of disco if it meant rap and hip-hop would die

My high school and college years were spent around the Boston area and that was a golden period for music in the Boston area. We had great clubs like the Rat and the Paradise and lots of local bands, some who went big.

While I was in Jr High a local band played in a gym in a nearby town before they became a thing. You probably have heard of them, Aerosmith. We got totally spoiled with so much great music we thought it would just keep coming.

106 C&W was definitely not a thing in my household, nor was rock or punk.
Wasn't until I joined the Army that I was exposed to other genres besides R&B, Soul, or Pop.
Posted by: SMH

Funny how that goes, isn't it? We had one radio in the house until I was in junior high or so, and it was tuned to C&W, and you'd best not change it. Around then, clock radios were a bigger thing, and we all had one so we could get ourselves up for school. Listened to album rock mostly at that point, til I left home for college and discovered all manner of other stuff.

Dusty Springfield helped black singers and groups, especially Motown performers, get a following in the UK. She got hooked on US black R&B and soul singers while a teenager in London in the md-50s. She became good friends with Martha Reeves of Martha and the Vandellas.

Here's a Motown performers show she hosted on the British TV show, "Ready, Steady, Go!" in 1965.

They were astounded by Janis Joplin, especially appearing on the Tonight Show; laughed over the names of some groups and their popular songs, such as Sam the Sham & The Pharos (Woolie Bully) & Cannonball and the Headhunters (Land of a Thousand Dances); puzzled over Louie Louie (was it really obscene?); listened to the Motown Sound but didn't appreciate the British Invasion.

Even then, it was far from a perfect world but there were finally AM radio stations playing music for varying audiences, and lots of neighborhood and regional dances for teens.

Know how, when there wasn't all that much R and B or R'n'R on local radio, on a cold night you'd tune in faraway stations, and they'd bounce off the upper atmosphere and fade in and out, over each other? This guy said that every true Motown chart sounded like those multiple stations.

I think Neil Halstead, lead songwriter/singer of Slowdive agrees with you. I think he's wrong, I think their music was brilliant, and still is.

There's a lot of crap to come out of that time and place though, as bands tried to cash in. Some still at it, evolving and maturing. Slowdive released an album, what was it 5 or 6 years ago now? It's pretty great.

Here's Kid Cudi (from Shaker Heights, Ohio) sampling a bit of Patsy Cline.

When my youngest played this, I was downstairs, and upon hearing it went up to his room to congratulate him on broadening his musical tastes.

Turned out he broadened mine...

I think all of the above, the best way to get funding is to have something with promise. I suspect the best way to do that is to put something together. I am impressed by some of the Russian shorts, and there are a couple of French micro production companies that do shorts.
One is Seth Ickerman, they started doing special effects in their garage

another is PH Debies, they do commercials, training films and shorts

301 '60's music can be broken into two parts: pre-Beatles and Post Beatles. Two entirely different types of music. American pop music was dying a slow and painful death. The Beatles and the British Invasion arrived just in the nick of time.

305 There is still excellent music being produced, just not in the US. Various wonderful European bands have been putting out wonderful stuff for close to 30 years in the symphonic metal genre. They are all supremely talented musicians with female vocalists just as talented. Most are best listened to in their live performances. Nightwish tops the list, try the Wacken 2013 concert, Floor Jansen's first big show with them.
Other bands are Within Temptation, Therion, Epica, and Sabaton, who's songs are history lessons. Faun for dark folk and Heilung for old pagan stuff, these just scratch the surface of what is available on You Tube. There is a deep rabbit hole out there for music fans.
