The old timers give the young'ns tips on the 60s.

The exciting thing about this period of music (1965-1975) was how the bands and the blues/rock/soul sound were all inter-related. Musicians would start a band, record solo, or go on to another band. Here are some great bands/albums all related in a Kevin Bacon 'Six Degrees of Separation" kind of way.

Blood Sweat & Tears - Child Is Father to the Man
Electric Flag - A Long Time Comin'
Blues Project - Live at Cafe Au Go Go
Super Session - Kooper, Stills, Bloomfield
Byrds - Fifth Dimension or Younger Than Yesterday
Gene Clark - White Light
Buffalo Springfield - Last Time Around or Retrospective
Stephen Stills - 1st solo album
Manassas

Spirit - 12 Dreams of Dr Sardonicus is really good. It is one of my all time favorite 'listenable' albums, it always seems fresh and fun. Timrhu nailed that one.

If you haven't heard Janis Joplin in a while look her up on youtube for a treat, man now thats a voice with a heart attached.
