No Zappa?

Not beating Are You Experienced for May

"Clouds so swift
Rain won't lift
Gate won't close
Railings froze
Get your mind off wintertime
You ain't goin' nowhere"

@Koala broski :datass:

One of the finest Dylan covers

Of one of his greatest deep cuts

guess this isn't the original Kanye sampled but still tripped me out

@sfsorrow you're up finally

TASTE!!!!!! Amazing pick , I really love this song more than anything and it’s very personal to me. I’ve actually been listening to the whole album a lot lately, You Set the Scene & Maybe The People Would Be The Times might come close but A House Is Not A Motel is really close to my heart and my number one. I don’t think I could ever in life get tired of that breakdown, the performances on the whole album are just so incredible and alive, especially with Arthur It’s really magic

one of my close friends has it as his all time favourite tremendous

Had the greatest album of the ‘60s in the tuck

he did

didn't realize the only Notorious Byrd Brothers single came out in '67 @RVI

and Gene was back for a minute

Bob Seger had singles in the early 60s and fuzzy garage psych bangers this just changed my worldview @drjdeponytail @Koala

Yea man I heard some really early Seger joints that totally had a different vibe than his known songs haha His voice was always great too

Bob Seger is the mon

And Crosby already gone pissy because they chose this beauty over Triad which is not good

Too bad they couldn't work it out though cause he finally leveled up with Lady Friend

triad is cool but yeah lady friend deserved better

Zappas and/or Grateful Deads highlights of the year? potent live stuff?

hard to pick single highlight for Zappa since Absolutely Free is basically all a big step forward for albums in the more "progressive" rock format with suites etc. maybe Brown Shoes Don't make It even tho i don't uphold it as a career highlight like some do. a few of the parts are annoying

released in May '67 and the contrast from the rest of the summer of love is so massive

im not an expert on '67 Dead but this is generally agreed to be one of the top performances of their early set centerpiece Viola Lee Blues (their first big jam vehicle)

and some good but embryonic versions later in the year that would be much more fleshed out in 68-69. the Anthem of the Sun songs

they were good but '68 is the real year where they ascended higher and surpassed Jefferson Airplane as best San Francisco band. also the year where they became overwhelmingly psychedelic instead of just a bluesy band on acid. there arent really a ton of good quality recordings from '67 either and the setlists were not that diverse

debut is alright but only like 1 or 2 highlights worth posting, if this was some noname band itd be a cool nugget

barely ever played live and basically forgotten about by mid-1967

not too bad
