need you to weigh in on the Eight Miles High debate

which version you prefer;

Elric

I've had this album forever and yeah that cat wailing song is... something

I just read Lester's book but I didn't see him mention this though link

Elric

The monkees assimilation begins you going to join me?

rvi

Eh I never went too hard with them but some decent stuff and a few really great ones. Hate those ugly mugs on that cover though

Elric

5y

I don't know any of their s*** except HEY HEY WERE YHE MONKEES so I'm looking forward to some gems

rvi

you dont even know I'm a Believer? feel like you might recognize a few you didnt realize, thats what happened to me

youll definitely enjoy their clear twin opuses of Daydream Believer and Porpoise Song but those are both a few albums down the line

Neil Young's first low-key classic with Springfield

amazing the way the harmonies go from;

"out of my mind....

DAD'N DAD'N DAD'N DAD'N DAD'N DAYAAA"

in the first half to;

"out of my mind...

DADA'N DADA'N DADA'N DADA'N DADA'N DAYAAA"

just as pretty as Beatles or Beach Boys or Kinks @HeyFella

the RCA version is off the walls, that moment at 2:15 going back into the main melody hits much harder. vocals and guitar got a heavier garage/psych feel that puts me into a trance...can't tell if the guitar's are out of tune or sound that mind bending

Elric

Lester did write a whole chapter on this classic

Elric

5y

Ok yeah I know that too

Me and my sister used to watch reruns of their show when we were kids know a few but haven't got to the psychedelic stuff that Shrek was a stan of yet

Shout out to lovin spoonfuls daydream for 66 as well

Atlienz

so is this worth reading? been meaning to ask if you other recs for books on the 60s/70s rock scene. also looking for some books on the kinks, stones and dylan

rvi

5y

also the earlier version of Somebody to Love from Grace Slick other band

rvi

5y

nice slower one that somehow didnt grab me the first time around

Elric

5y

Yea bumped this yesterday and figured it was too compared to Graces version to post

rvi

5y

its good just because the song is so good, i didnt realize it existed tbh. ofc doesnt compare to the true version

Elric

5y

nice

here's another very potent slow burner

rvi

5y

still havent loved any seeds song that isnt pushin too hard

Elric

5y

Elric
