Day 8- A song about dreams

The Pretty Things were the biggest competitor to the Rolling Srones in their early days when they were both belting out old American blues and r&b standards. I’ve heard they were much wilder than the stones.

They beat the Who to the punch and made the first rock opera (SF Sorrow) a full year before the Who’s Tommy. This song is from SF Sorrow

Big in England for a while. But in the US??

Day 8: Dreams

While they were not not the first to use backward recorded instruments, this was the first time a backwards guitar solo was introduced to popular music and it sparked some others, including Jimi Hendrix, to use the technique.

When I wake up early in the morning, lift my head, I'm still yawning; when I'm in the middle of a dream, stay in bed, float up stream.

Day 8: A song about dreams or dreaming
Oh I had a dream, for a moment I believed it was true
Oh I'd have given anything just to be there with you
Are you hiding somewhere behind those eyes?


FTR, the Killers cover of this is a good video too, but you miss out on that magnificent mullet.
