Which of these US psych/proto bands is your favorite?
I left out Janis Joplin/Big Brother & holding company, Jimi Hendrix(and Experience), Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Steve Miller Band and the Grateful Dead because I wanted to focus on ones that aren't as obvious.

Out of these, I like Mothers the best, even if they are far different from the other offerings. From outside the poll, I absolutely love C.A. Quintet's lone release Trip Thru Hell.

Categories strain, crack and sometimes break, under their burden - step out of the space provided.

I know very little of this bands, but it was obvious Mothers of Invention (Frank Zappa) would win. Actually, it would have been a closer vote if he had been put next to the more "obvious" choices, and still in this particular forum I believe he would have wond against Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and The Doors (I don't really know the other obvious ones you mentioned, but I understand they were very notable too). |

Spirit is one of the most underrated bands in ProgArchives. I did a poll on them and like 5 people voted. For this poll I would like to see Zappa replaced by Capt. Beyond.

The thing is though that Captain Beyond's first album is from 72 and this is a poll for sixties bands. They would be better off in another poll.

no Jefferson Airplane??
From this lest, Spirit, QMS and Vanilla Fudge in that order.... HP Lovecraft might also have been a valid choice for this poll

I used to adore these guys and even today I find their musical chops outrageously brilliant. The singing though Like dialing The Moodies' more romantic gestures up to 11...and then in full blown harmony uuhhh Funny how something one used to love now makes you cringe. The music though still is as powerful as the first time I heard it. Those drums man! Edited by Guldbamsen - November 21 2017 at 07:29 |
