Just wondering if there are any students out there into 60's stuff? My friends are great but we are always at a bit of a war when it comes to music. I'm really into Dylan, Stones, Nick Drake, Van Morrison, Neil Young etc. There must be some like minded people!...

I like a bit of Early Pink Floyd (syd barret era, aka mid to late 60s)

Van Morrison yup! Bit of the Beatles doesnt go a miss, not a lover of the stones though, more of a Led Zeppelin lover.

yep piper at the gates of dawn is an amazing album! can't beat barrett's poetic innocence as far as floyd go.
What do u study?

I wouldnt say Syd is "innocent" ive discussed his "innocence" before on here :lol: but yeah, PatDoD is great.

hell yeah, i couldnt live with out the 60's music, my mum brought me up on it just as my dad did with the 70's stuff. i cant name every thing i listen too cus i'm a music person 7 half of it i dont know the name of, but i listen to stuff like Smokey Robson, beatles, Monkeys, Led Zepplin, david bowie, alice cooper, simon & garfunkle, van morrison, pink floyd, the doors & lodes more but just couse i listen to this dosent mean i dont like anything else, i love 70's punk rock, 80's music, 90's pop, rock & dance & 00's comercial dance & hard house & trance.

I love 60's music of Merseyside......:)
But hardly can tell any name..........:(
It is just so nice and brilliant..........:)
But sadly got no airplay..................:(

All the above mentioned bands are ace but you left out the small faces and the spencer davies group not to mention the birth of motown and soul

I love Small Faces - was listening to early stuff b4. Steve Marriott has one of the most amazing voices for an english singer. Spencer Davis group yeah - their version of take this hammer is great

Alright there...

im a student too but there doesnt seem to be anything out there with a 60's/70's vibe..

i like a lot of my dads stuff :

Neil Young, Spirit, The Doors, Hendrix, Small Faces, Beatles, Peter Frampton, Cream etc..

too much to list..

I like Love to..


Good call on the mersey beat stuff ;)

hmmm Sheffield has quite a good indie/rock scene but doesn't really cater for 60's/70's stuff. Brighton Beach was good but even that has finished now

I thought it had moved to Sheffield University?

:banana: Hi all... ok I was 7 years old at the start but I still love it... Having said that I also like some of todays stuff... and I mean it:thumbsup: Bye.

The first LP I was ever bought was The Merseybeats! My dad bought it me from Woolworths and I still have it. The cover is a bit tattered but it still plays ok. :thumbsup:

Brighton Beach moves to Shef Uni in September... nothing til then and no crazy dancefloor!

Ooh, someone mentioned Alice Cooper. I was brought up on Alice Cooper. He played in Guildfest last year. (Guildford Music Festival). Unfortunately they followed him up with Atomic Kitten.

How rude is that?

Anyone got any advice on which Nick Drake album to buy? I'm always hugely confused when looking at new music, its very easy to buy their crap albums first and not know.

He only released 3 albums while alive and they're all amazing (Five Leaves Left, Bryter Layter and Pink Moon).

The first two have the edge over the last one, purely because Pink Moon was basically just a collection of rough demos, with not much in the way of production (great though the songs are).

After he died a posthumous album of demos Time Of No Reply appeared. It's OK, but get the others first.

Since then there have been a few albums of really early (pre-Five Leaves Left) material issued, none of which are of much interest.

If in doubt get one of the Island compilations, such as An Introduction To Nick Drake and take it from there.

Thanks, yeah. :) I try to avoid best of's, they kind of ruin it for when you get the other albums.

Chris.

Unbelievably the BBC couldn't work out what this song was about and didn't ban it.

I ADORE '60s music. One of my favourite eras. Plus I love all that Psychedelic malarkey around that time and the early '70s. Yay!
