TubularBelle Group: Members Posts: 1487 Joined: April 2004 Posted: Jan. 04 2006, 19:15 There are many great 'psychadelic pop' artists who would definitely come under the heading of hippy. I can only think of one off the top of my head, The Electric Hippies, remember them, not that long ago actually, from the 90's, (they had a hit with Greedy People, love it) but I saw several of them listed in the book '1001 albums you must hear before you die'. Added one more this week, Sigur Ross' debut album, I have 55 now, only 946 to go! -------------- I hate getting up early. I didn't even realise there were two 6 o'clocks in one day! Back to top

TubularBelle Group: Members Posts: 1487 Joined: April 2004 Posted: Jan. 04 2006, 19:38 Of course I have heard of Jimmy Buffet but can you name his most well known hit for me, was it something like, 'It hurts to say goodbye'?????? Will check if he is in my book, think I recall seeing him, no sorry. But i know you like Leonard Cohen and he got listed 4 times! Mike only once with TB. -------------- I hate getting up early.

stevenmd779 Group: Members Posts: 248 Joined: Aug. 2005 Posted: Jan. 09 2006, 07:49 Quote All I can ask is "what is hippie music?" Music that sounds good when you're on shrooms, acid, ganja, and xtc. Often has a political message against the extablishment, for freedom, peace, and love. Often with an acoustic guitar and hand drums. -------------- "A people who would sacrifice liberty for security will lose both, and deserve neither." Ben Franklin Boogs is fo' da chode man.

Deadcalm Group: Awaiting Authorisation Posts: 752 Joined: Nov. 2004 Posted: Jan. 10 2006, 04:41 I wouldnt class Mikes music as Hippy... More Electro - Folk ... I guess anything would sound good if you were stoned lol... Ive got a 70s Dutch Lp .. The Lead Singer deff is High on that one!! Sounds like it was recorded in one of there coffee Shops.. Naa Mikes Music is to tight for it to be classed as Hippy... Even though it might sound even more brlliant if you were stoned lol. Back to top

Bill Bobaggins Group: Members Posts: 477 Joined: June 2005 Posted: Jan. 10 2006, 09:42 I was a hippie in the 60's (and maybe still am in my heart) and did all the hippie things and wore all the hippie clothes and thought all the hippie thoughts. From my perspective, it's mostly the lyrics that make hippie music - those that are relevant to the hippie attitude and lifestyle or the feeling you get after having used psychedelic drugs.  A few examples: Incense and Peppermints - Strawberry Alarm Clock White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane Eight Miles High - The Byrds Give Peace A Chance - John Lennon Listen to Polyphonic Spree if you want to hear current hippie music. -------------- Speak friend and enter.

arron11196 Group: Members Posts: 826 Joined: April 2005 Posted: Jan. 12 2006, 15:47 I believe the equivalent at the time was 'Square' -------------- Arron J Eagling Everyone's interpretation is different, and everyone has a right to that opinion. There is no "right" one, I am adding this post to communicate my thoughts to share them with like-minded souls who will be able to comment in good nature.

Bill Bobaggins Group: Members Posts: 477 Joined: June 2005 Posted: Jan. 12 2006, 19:42 I saw Jethro Tull in concert when I was a hippie.  They played Cole Field House at the University of Maryland (home of the terps).  I was very stoned.  I remember Ian Anderson was wearing a long, flowing cape.  The whole show just seems kind of hazy to me now...yes, more like a "purple haze". -------------- Speak friend and enter.
