"Spirit in the Sky" Norman Greenbaum

Simply an amazing coincidence that that song sounds so much like Canned Heat's Fried Hockey Boogie

Carry On is one of my faves from one of my all time fave albums.

Saw them all in concert back in da 70's! CSN and Y

Agree about Dylan's The Times They Are A'Changin. And to me CCR's Fortunate Son was the ultimate Viet Nam song (though honorable mention to Country Joe and the Fish's Feel Like I'm Fixin to Die Rag). And sorry but my list will always include Beatles songs, A Day in the Life and Revolution are two that say sixties to me. As does Aretha Franklin's Respect, James Brown's I Feel Good, The Band's The Weight and I could go on and on.

One that I really love is Hendrix's Little Wing.

Hey what about Moby Grape? They wrote some great songs.

I saw Jefferson Airplane do this song with a crowd of thousands in Sheep Meadow, Central Park and it felt like a revolution.

Trying to answer this question is like eating potato chips--hard to stop.

It's a nice little jaunt down memory lane.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

I had exactly the same experience. It was a "we're not in Kansas anymore" moment.

I find that very interesting.

We have traveled such different paths since that time.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

I'm surprised it hadn't been mentioned before now. It was influential and it is one of my favorites, even now.

Wow, this is some shared experience here.
