Nudder Music Thread: 67-72 Music

[special-K]

My love of 67-72s began, well, when I first saw the '67. But, it only grew from there. I've had at least one since '73. As the '80s rolled on nostalgia played into it making my reasons for loving them multi-faceted. I was becoming a teen in '67 and by '72 I was a well seasoned driver at 17 . I think the music I/we listened to in that time was the best era of musical creation. If I picked a "best" year it would be 1970. More great albums came out of this year, with many groups putting out more than one. It was the time at the foot of the beginn ing of record companies really catching on and commercializing what would come to be known as "rock". Back then it was just real musicians expressing themselves through exploring and creating... and the recording industry couldn't help nut notice. These musicians didn't know if they's make a lot of money or not. They just wanted to play and figured the recording expense would be covered and hopefully some more. Then came the industry basically creating groups and segments of rock.

Another reason I became so about 67-72 is Drag racing and NASCAR were at their pinnacle... from my standpoint. The money came along to change all that, too. although it took the '70s decade to get to where my head started turning away from it (for the most part).

Anyway, I'll start with a group many may not know of, or have forgotten. Not among my favorites, but they represent the era well... and not so hard to look at, either.

Fanny:

Edit: Nice way to start off. Go to YouTube and search "Fanny - Ain't That Peculiar - LIVE - 1972-11-25" . I would just post something else, but seeing this video is what gave me the idea for this thread. Please post songs you know from the late '60s to early '70s. Thank you

Let me pop in some Black Oak Arkansas to fill the void:

Thank you for posting that Tim
That is one of my favorite songs. Page and Plant played it when I saw them.

[Ironhorse]

Tim, clicked on your post and first thing I saw was the Black Oak Arkansas CD. Seen Black Oak in concert years ago and have always liked their sound. The CD you posted is VERY hard to come by, have it on LP album and just recently was able to find it on line.

Funny, I was just thinking of that song the other day. They played the original by Marvin Gaye on the radio.

You're welcome. That has to be their "finest" song. It shows their talent, writing and playing, in a more subdued gentle acoustic way

So much great music never made it to CD. I have many LPs that were never on CD. I only remember Black Oak Arkansas and Fanny from this era. Very few times have I heard their music on the radio past this era.

Paul, great great song of that time (and still). The Byrds and all the music from artists that both flowed into that group as well as radiated from it. They were 'the' folk rock' group and country rock came out of the Byrds as well. The great American band at a time when the Brits had a hold on the American youth. This era is when American music rose to the top.

Thanks, Pritch. Maybe you found it posted by someone else. I only glanced through while editing. I wanted that particular one for being a live studio cut.

Motown was still happening and it tried to change with the time. Kinda worked but nothing like what it was at the beginning of the era

Ok, just a touch early being '66. I mainly didn't want to go into '73 because by then the record industry had taken hold and also many groups had split into solos, other groups, and generally seemed to be flowing rather than leading the 'edge'. Not that great music doesn't still live on to this day. But I just wanted to take a great Temptations song from early and one from later

Yeah buddy! Creedence Clearwater Revival was an major iconic group of this era. I have so much music in my head to bring to this thread. I am a poet and I don't know it . Creedence is one. I came up with the name for my construction company from multiple things in my life up to '82 when I started it, and CCR was one for sure

And this is my theme song:

Creedence Clearwater Revival - The Working Man -...

Iconic song of the times:

CCR Run Through the Jungle - Vietnam footage -...

Hows about some Cream?

Or Allman Brothers:

[slomotion]

A lot of these songs were the soundtrack of Viet Nam.

[leddzepp]

Houses of the Holy was 73...what’s it doing in this thread ?

[special-K]

It's a thread for the era 67-72 trucks come from, meaning "late '60s- early '70s". I also posted music from '66. I bought a next to new '72 big block shortbed off the OK Used Car lot at Sport Chevrolet in '73, so I associate the early '70s as far as they can be stretched into the mid-70s. It was a great time that I still wish never ended

I agree,those were the best years for "our" music!
My dad wasn't too happy with our choices though!(he liked country!).
He bout run us out of the house when we played "Jeremiah Was A Bullfrog".
Finally,we were sent to the shed in the backyard,where we really made some noise!

Tim I'm sorry but I hate anything led zeppelin has ever done. Give me a Dead , Jethro or Hendricks song any day

Led zeppelin in my opinion stole most of their hits songs

The songs they “stole” sound better than the originals by far

I have to admit, I'm not familiar with him. Thanks for sharing. Do you remember Lee Michaels? For some reason he came to mind when I checked out your links

That song reminds me of the long bus ride we used to have to high school. The driver played the radio for us. It was Jeremiah was a bullfrog, Rockin' Robin, The Carpenters, and Grand Funk Railroad

We're all entitled to our opinion. I liked their first two albums when they came out because I came up with my father playing the early blues. They became popular and that turned me away from them. But as time went by it was undeniable why they were so popular. Aside from any over analyzation, they just made great music. Just realize, I haven't necessarily played my favorites. Just trying to play what represented the times as well as music that was only heard then. Nostalgia can come from anything that represents the time, even Engelbert Humperdink . I've always been big on the Grateful Dead and super big on Jimi Hendrix
I really liked them before Pig Pen passed away

Stole is a debatable way of seeing it. If anyone is to blame for that it would be the record companies who wrote the rights of the original artists out of the original music and allowed the new artists to remake the songs for the sake of great profits going in their pockets than the performers. All music comes in some way from what came before. It's only natural for what we absorb to come through in our own creations. And many groups covered prior songs, such as Fannie in my original post. Hendrix, Cream, Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead... all took old songs and made them their own. My preference in general with music is in singer/songwriters who create and perform their own music... and often we know their songs by being played by more popular artists promoted by the radio station/recording industry complex

Again, a matter of opinion which we all are entitled to. Music is all about preference and not a thing to be argued or debated. Apples taste better than oranges, right? The way "I" see it is Led Zeppelin played many prior recorded music differently. They made it their own creation. Many of such songs by them and others were listened to without people even realizing they had already heard that song by someone else. But mostly the case was the original music was from a time way before their own, and a style they were not necessarily fond of or just had never heard. Many early blues rock fans (who didn't even know it was the blues) later became some of the biggest fans of the roots of most all of American music, the blues.

I've been dying to jump in, but I've been swamped lately

We moved from SoCal in '72, when I was 13, so everything from before the move.

Hmmm...been a lot of great vids posted already. I don't think I'd really disagree with any, in the context of then. Oh, first, let's take a minute to remember Peter Tork.

https://youtu.be/ngDQ7fPcKbQ

https://youtu.be/sbY195bMw5o

Ya Ya, the pre-fab four. They were huge, though. And the stuff they actually did themselves stands up.

Of course, the first full album I ever bought was by the actual Fab Four. Truth is, I snuck my older sister's brand new copy of Abbey Road to a dance and it got scratched and I had to replace it

https://youtu.be/oolpPmuK2I8?list=PL...vopMJt__x-y5mD

Still my favorite Beatles album.

But I was always all over the place. With 3 older sisters, I got everything from the 50's on. And dad with his country and mom with her big band and showtunes, I got the full range. Top 40 was huge, Motown. I still listen to a lot of old 60's soul. Too many to list right now, for sure.

Peter Tork. Rest in peace.

In '72, I was listening to whatever my folks were listening to Didn't have much of a choice....I was 3 and ITunes hadn't been invented yet.

I do fondly remember really liking The Monkeys as their songs were pretty upbeat compared to whatever my folks were listening to. I think we drove them absolutely crazy singing those songs over and over.
