I've done this list in one take, so I missed something along the way. Yeah, I like Californian music from 60's very much, especially L.A. garage/surf scene.
Thank you for remind me of some fine groups like Love, one of my L.A. fovourites along with The Standells & The Byrds wich I missed to add.

More cool stuff at follow-up, so stay tuned

Arthur Lee & LOVE ....wow , fantastically good stuff ..."My Little Red Book" , "Hey Joe" .etc.

(I once put together a CD of 17 different "Hey Joe's" ..all different artists) ...Deep Purple had a great cover of it.

I know, it has nothing at all to do with the topic, but your last post reminded me of this:

Standels were the first guitar amplifiers that used JBL, (Lansing) speakers. These speakers were much costlier and much heavier than the cheaper and less efficient Jensens that Fender and Gibson were using, but were already standard in super hi-fidelity phonograph systems by the time that Bob Crooks put one in an amp in 1953. "It made all the difference in the world," is what Bob told me, "when I first heard that amp with that speaker in it, I said, That's the sound." Seven years later, after experimenting with almost every other kind of speaker, Fender finally relented and started putting JBL's in their top-of-the-line amplifiers too. Today, almost every brand of amplifier can be ordered with JBL's!!

This is coming from an 18 year old who has been listening to the 60's music all his life. My favorite would have to be Seger's Ramblin' Gamblin' Man. That song, I can just CRANK!!! I hate that new (c)rap that they play on the radio now a days.

I've been grooving to Harry Nilsson's "Jump Into the Fire" lately. It builds, fades and builds again, maintaining a high energy and interest level throughout.

Great track! I've always really liked Harry Nilsson and that song still sounds fresh as the day it was recorded. Here are some more by Harry that come to mind (not recorded as loudly as "Jump Into the Fire" so crank them up!)......







Harry had more talent in his little finger than many current day "retro" artists like Lenny Kravitz have in their entire body (nothing against Lenny)....

I always liked his "you broke my heart , you tore it apart, so f*ck you"

they don't write great lyrics like that anymore ...

Yeah, that's another classic from the "Son of Schmilsson" LP. I remember when I was a teenager we'd always give that particular track a little extra volume!!!

They don't play music on the radio near me -
Talk talk, its only talk ...

All the good prog and rock stations in my area are gone -
I think WRNR out near Annapolis, MD is probably good -
but their signal doesn't reach my place -
even with antenna boosters & a rotor!

60's music is was got me thru the war (conflict ? police action ? whatever..). AFVN radio
(Armed Forces Vietnam) was a better rock station that what we have today
(and no damned car commercials) ..anyway,

its good to see an 18 y.o. appreciating some of the 60's tunes..it was quite an era ....my 30 y.o. son loves the punk/garage genre from then.

I made some little 12 inch narrow shelves that are wall mounted and next to the 3 active turntables in the home. I put the jackets up when playing the disks and can tell later what is still on the turntable.

The 3 currently displaying are : BS&T - Child is Father to the Man. 2. LedZep - first, and 3. Clash - Combat Rock.

Buffalo Springfield: "For What its Worth"

Beatles: "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"

Beatles: Medley on Abbey Road:
"You Never Give Me Your Money" ,"Sun King","Mean Mr. Mustard", "Polythene Pam", "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window","Golden Slumbers","Carry That Weight",and the climax, "The End".

More modern? "Squeeter and the Monkey Man" : The Traveling Wilbury's

Tom Petty:Full Moon Fever, "I Won't Back Down", "Free Fallin'" and "Runnin' Down a Dream"

Tom Petty : Biggest Achievement for a Rocker? He took on the system and won! That helped eliminate the stranglehold labels used to have on artists! Hoo-rah!!

Larry .... our lists mesh very well
