 Where's Cream!? I'm going to ignore the Pink Floyd option because that's too obvious, (the first two albums were psych masterpieces, imo)... But I'm going to choose another obvious choice in The Doors. Love their first two albums. |

Hendrix from that list

| I am sorry, but you can't possibly have a poll like this without The Band (Dylan's first rock touring band for pete's sake, along with 2 seminal albums); Credence Clearwater Revival or Buffalo Springfield. And the Byrds for crying out loud. And the Beach Boys.....And you might as well take the Beatles out, since they are a virtual given for everyone with any semblance of musical knowledge or taste. |

When does Pink Floyd's psych era end? When David Gilmour replaced Syd Barrett? If so, why aren't their two 1969 albums to be included in this 60s poll? If it ended when they stopped playing songs that Syd played on, then that'd include 1973, when they were still playing Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun (disregarding the 1994 revival of Astronomy Domine, of course) [/pedantry] ------------- rotten hound of the burnie crew |

Beatles. Yup, not much fun in that choice, but fact remains I listen to them basically every day. One of the first bands I really loved. Back then it was the early poppy stuff, now it's nothing but Rubber Soul - Let It Be, with emphasis on Magical Mystery Tour, Sgt. Pepper and Abbey Road.

| The Doors, I think, from those I know. Suitably psychy insanity as well as interesting atmospheres. |

| Between The Doors, Beatles, Velvet Underground or Barret's Pink Floyd, my favourite ones from these I choose The Doors. Their music had something more than the other bands that I appreciate more, starting with the Lizard King on vocals. |

I voted The Who (or The Ooh as they were called in the Isle of Wight DVD)
if only for Tommy which just barely slid under the wire to be in the
60's. Still sounds fresh today to me. On a side note - can anyone tell me who the picture is in Micky's sig? I just can't quite make it out. I've been meaning to ask. (Hangs head in shame in advance.) |

Cream, hands down. As far as trios go they rank up there with Rush and ELP, maybe not as progressive as each, but still a damn fine act.
Just listen to Disraeli Gears and tell me Tales of Brave Ulysses or SWLABR dont blow your mind with gooey passion or musical bliss.

Since Micky (who is my future husband, in case you were wondering
 ...) is at work now, I'll answer on his behalf. The guys in the picture are legendary Italian band Area, one of the best outfits ever to come out of my country. If you don't know them, they are highly recommended.... Here they are included in Jazz-Rock/Fusion, but their music shows numerous other influences. As for the poll question.... Out of this list, psych Pink Floyd on top of all, then The Doors and The Who.

Course not. Don't get befuddled by the historical rewrite and extensive fiction, combined with the all-encompassing attitude to prog, of PA- created since 2004. In the late 60's and early 70's, whilst broad in our ideas what underground music was, progressive music (soon to be progressive rock) was increasingly restricted to post-psychedelic underground bands of particular styles of music. Therefore Krimson, Renaissance, subequently Yes, Genesis, Gentle Giant, plus the second rankers of Camel and BJH, and then a lot of third rankers. In the meanwhile Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin were carving a parallel path with the new fangled heavy rock. And there were a handful of bands such as T2, somewhere between heavy rock and progresssive rock. (Should not omit the more art rock types of bands, partly to evolve into glam rock, e.g. Roxy Music, Ziggy period Bowie, maybe Sweet and a reinvented T Rex , later the early line-up of Be Bop Deluxe). Floyd , (as did Soft Machine) were the leading underground psychedelic bands of '68 and '69, luggage which they carried with them for sometime after the heyday of UK psychedelia. Whilst Soft Machine disbanded, only to come back as an avant jazz fusion group, Floyd retained their image as psychedelic band and loyal fan base well into the early 70's, and were particularly affected by Syd Barrett's departure.
If you were there the you would have realised Pink Floyd were certainly not included amongst the ranks of prog bands, they were top of their own genre, British psychedelia . So forgive me, I'm not bowing to a history written in the last decade. ------------- The best eclectic music on the Web,8-11pm BST/GMT THURS.

To the poll. Being born in 1947, I became aware of pop/rock with Buddy Holly. For a large part of the 60's I was a fan of the Shadows (their first relatively groundbreaking album was the first album I ever had, and still enjoy it) - and in the UK there was a thing that you either liked the Beatles or the Shads for the first half of the decade. But then I discovered Clapton's guitar on Fresh Cream 1966/7 and the polished but increasing uninspired 3 minute instrumental hits of the Shadows got abandoned, in favour of music that grabbed me by the proverbals. ------------- The best eclectic music on the Web,8-11pm BST/GMT THURS.

The Beatles are fantastic, but I think I prefer The Village Green Preservation Society by the Kinks and seeing that they didn't have enough votes, I went with the Kinks.

The 60's was such a rich era for musical advance and with so many bands that were doing explorative works, that's not easy to choose one:
From the list:
Not in the list:
There's so much to choose from, that it's almost impossible to select only one, buyt due to their trascendence for us, I will go with The Nice. Ivàn -------------
