The Barbarians
Sonics
Wailers (and certainly NOT the Kingsmen who were frat boy wanna-bes!)
Them (and I fucking hate every solo note "sung", i.e. whined, by Van Morrison with a passion)
Shadows of Knight
Green Fuzz
Red Crayola (it's with a C in the '60s!)
West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band
Sun Ra & the Arkestra (actually most of their peak stuff was in the '60s after all)
Miles and the group he had behind him at the Filmore
Mothers of Invention
Delia Derbyshire
Donovan (weird to think he was as big or bigger than Dylan at the time, guess when his music just didn't translate from acid to cappucino quite so well for him to have the staying power with that generation)
oh, no I'm breaking the rules, but why are the Fugs among the usual suspects? Because of their multi-platinum selling albums at the time or because of the multi-platinum cd reissues of the '80s and '90s, or perhaps because every kid on Kazaa downloaded "Johnny Pissoff"?
Lothar and the Hand People
Amboy Dukes (and if you buy that Nugent wasn't stoned with the rest of them, I have some swampland in Florida to offer you for a paltry 100 grand...)
Yoko Ono and the rest of the Fluxists
La Monte Young & The Dream Syndicate, but really not listing the Velvets is a bit like denying Sonic Youth were important in the '80s innit?
Since the Stooges aren't on the "usual suspects" list, I suppose I can list them guilt free?
MC5, ditto
I'll second the Electric Prunes
Link Wray
Dick Dale
Hazil Adkins
The Trashmen
The Ventures
The Standells
13th Floor Elevators
The Lemon Pipers
The Crazy World of Arthur Brown (!)
The Count Five
The Strawberry Alarm Clock
Love (RIP Arthur)
The Chamber Brothers
Hawkwind (!!) especially Space Ritual which is the best live double album ever
Pink Faeries
Tyranosaurus Rex
Fairport Convention
The Seeds (I met Sky Saxon in the '90s and it was a fucking weird, if dissilusioning experience)
? and the Mysterians
The Music Machine
Nick Drake
Phil Ochs

krastian · 02.07.2007, 01:04 AM

Good call on Fairport Convention and The Ventures (among others).

krastian · 02.07.2007, 02:11 AM

Hey, that's a great vid....I've never seen it before (Electric Prunes).

Oh, and The Animals....can't forget about them.

Nick Drake!
I should add Tim Buckley.
Nico solo career (although the best was in the seventies).
I second Yoko Ono, Sun Ra, Them, La Monte Young.
Leonard Cohen, back then.
And The Sonics, wow! (although a reunion album recorded some time in the '80s was a big disappointment...as it usually happens)...
Congrats man, you did quite a list.

Richie Havens
Scott Walker
The Fire Escape (californian garage band, they named their album Psychotic Reaction, which is mispelled on one side)
The Sonics

racehorse · 02.07.2007, 03:46 PM

anything on ESP disks and the 60s free jazz underground is worth menioning (Albert Ayler, Paul Bley, Ornette Coleman, Sun Ra, Frank Wright, Burton Green, Bruce Mackay etc etc etc).
avant gardists such as cage, reich, wolff, cardew etc all deserve a mention as well for being groundbreaking and provocative revolutionaries.
trying to think of some folk/rock stuff people haven't already mentioned... pearls before swine.... the monks... vashti bunyan..... all brilliant.

kingcoffee · 02.07.2007, 05:15 PM

I quit Husker Du in 65. Music slowly declined after that.

Savage Clone · 02.07.2007, 05:22 PM

Good call on Pearls Before Swine.
I got to contribute to a PBS tribute album once; it was a privilege and it was a lot of fun.
