Anyone like Hippy music?

Post Reply New Topic

I love all genres of music but I find music around the 60's and early 70's gravitating. So many talented artists and so much diversity moreso than I think any other generation....but I know that's subjective as any art. Hippy may not be the right word but I guess I love many of the anti-war sentiments especially in a day and age where now war seems more or less glorified than ever in my country. Anyway not all of them are anti-war or hippy per se, just peace, love, and rockn roll. Dig it?


Love by Red Telephone. I got this from that movie Taking Woodstock.

And then one of my ultimate favorite female artist, Janis Joplin, Piece of My Heart.

Yehhhh I dig that hippie music.

I don't know if The Beatles count as hippie music but I was obsessed with them for a lot of years

Oh yes. All You Need is Love, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, While My Guitar Gently Weeps...yes I consider the Beatles hippies especially George and John Lennon.

Depends on what you classify as "hippy music", but the early 70s is one of my favorite eras for music, particularly with respect to folk/folk rock and blues. There were just a huge number of talented artists out there back then.

I enjoy this one - The Who's Armenia City in the Sky

I like the 'trippier' hippy stuff.. and I agree, that era was somehow the best, perhaps because LSD was legal and people were apparently more openminded in general

i was born too late, i shoulda been a hippy back in the 60s, instead of a clueless little kid who heard on the radio about hippies on the berkeley campus smoking pot and imagined in his little kid brain a scene of a bunch of long haired college kids with pot handles sticking out of their mouths walking around the place.

Defintely love folk music and even before Bob's time. I don't think Bob Dylan had any political agenda and while my title says hippy music, I still say we can't really define what hippy was or wasn't. I more or less define my mother's generation like the renaissance, challenging the still ongoing attitude toward our conservative culture whether you find good, bad or both in it. I definitely define some of Bob Dylan's songs hippy or against the mainstream. It'd be nice, hippy or not to fight against the mainstream but it seems the mainstream deems itself against the mainstream which means following the same song patterns as well as deeming more attention on how an artist looks rather than what their sounds or is about.

LOL!! Haha as a kid, I'd a probably thought the same thing due to being both hyper-imaginitive and literal.

Good one.

To me, the counterculture of the Sixties was the last gasp of true creativity and progression in rock n' roll. The musicians were very much into pushing the boundaries of rock and experimenting with new possibilities. This all seemed to reach its peak later, with Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon in '72. Since then, it seems rock has spent most of its time recycling itself. (I could say "cannibalizing" but what an ugly word! ) I doubt that popular music will ever be that exciting or unpredictable again. We can always hope, though.

Since you already posted some Janis Joplin ( ), I'll go with my other two Sixties favorites. You can hardly get more psychedelic than the 13th Floor Elevators.

My mum used to play Emerson Lake and Palmer records quite a bit. I grew up loving this stuff.

All You Need Is Love by The Beatles is one of my favourite songs.

It's my first love! Been listening to psychedelic rock since I was about 3. It's amazing music. Some of my favourite bands include The 13th Floor Elevators, Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, Early Pink Floyd, Gong, Hendrix, Joplin, Strawberry Alarm Clock, Children Of The Mushroom, Lord Sitar, and many others.

Incidentally, as a music-loving Aspie I REALLY dislike the pop up windows at the bottom of these pages that start playing irritating adverts when I'm listening to a tune.

A most unwelcome feature...
