No descriptive title: Just some 1966 to 1970 tracks with some similarities, choose your favourite. I would have included more, but I wanted to embed videos and this number of embeds alone will cause problems for some -- I was thinking about including some Amon Duul II and Ashra Tempel, maybe a little Can, plus a little Sun Ra and Grateful Dead, plus some others. The 13th Floor Elevators - "Roller Coaster" (1966) Jefferson Airplane - "Spare Chaynge" (1967) Pink Floyd - "Interstellar Overdrive" (1967) Arzachel - Metempsychosis (1969) Tommy James and the Shondells - "Cellophane Symphony" (1969) Quicksilver Messenger Service - "Calvary" (1969) Tangerine Dream - "Journey Through a Burning Brain" (1970) |

| I wasnīt familiar with Arzachel & Tommy James, listened them a bit and they sounded really interesting, going to listen the albums where they are absolutely! I really love 13th Floor Elevators, but itīs still Interstellar for me! Not long ago I listened that Tangerine Dream first album first time, I quite a like it! |

| very tough choices between Spare Chaynge, Overdive , Burning Brain and Calvary, but ultimately the QMS track is so enormously gigantic that it can't be topped on this list. This is track that saves Happy Trails, IMHO (the rest being a big Diddley-esque jam) |

| Some outstanding stuff on this poll. I could have voted for the 13th Floor Elevators, Jefferson Airplane or Pink Floyd, but I had to go with Calvary by Quicksilver Messenger Service. Duncan & Cipollina were at their absolute peak in this performance. |

A tie for me between Arzachel and Quicksilver......though I would probably play Quicksilver more if forced to choose...I really like those first two albums. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

Syd's psychedelic version of the Steptoe & Son theme gets my vote. ------------- Living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea. |

Floyd, followed by QMS. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

Interstellar is great and it's a pity that the version ended up on piper wasn't a 40 minutes acid improvisation, but my vote goes to Arzachel. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

| I could vote for any of these, especially right now the Arzachel, the Tangerine Dream, the Quicksilver Messenger Service and the Tommy James and the Shondells album, but I'm giving a vote to Cellophane Symphony because I like it very much and I don't think any one else will vote for it. |

| It was pretty much a three way tie for me between Floyd, Arzachel, and QMS, but in the end, I came down with the majority on this one. |

if not for Jack Casady and my insane man love for him this would have been a slam dunk for Metempsychosis. I do love not just that but the whole f**king album is killer. An album that is on Raff and I's regular play at home rotation. but anytime Jorma and Jack go flying off into the sun...and they did with that one... it gets my vote. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Both great and woefully unknown. I did get to see Pete once, although not with Battered Ornaments or Piblokto. He played with a new band, Mama Flyer, at the Mal Dean tribute/benefit concert at the ICA in 1974. |

None of the above. The Beatles - I Want You (She's So Heavy) for me. -------------

Love those tracks you posted, Saperlipopette. I knew the Ultimate Spinach one, but I think the Pete Brown is completely knew to me. They do fit well. Thanks. I guess Hrychu's "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" does quite well too, but I find it odd that one feels forced to just choose an "other" choice in a poll of music with a similar feel. Why not just choose one, say something about it, or about all of the listed choices, and then talk about another or several others that you think fits with the the other choices? That's what other people do, and to me it seems more thoughtful and a better method towards discussion and exploration. Would seem strange to me if someone asked me if I prefer strawberry or black cherry ice cream, and I just said neither "raspberry". But I could say black cherry and then say, but raspberry if it were an option and I would hope that wouldn't seem dismissive of the options that I was given. But perhaps this is just a cultural difference in the finer points of communication and manners. Others I thought about including when first conceptualising the poll are: |
