Who loves the band "Love"?
"Orange skies, carnivals and cotton candy, and you. And I love you too, you know I do..."

Suddenly into underground psychedelic of the 60s, man they rocked. For all you Damned fans, Love did the original version of
"Alone Again Or" from Forever Changes.

3. Do You Have The "Nuggets" CD Boxed Sets?
There's "Nuggets" and "Nuggets II". Each one has 4 CD's LOADED with 60's psychedelia. I would highly recommend them.

8. I'm kind of new to the psychedelic stuff
I think the first nuggets is more American stuff, and nuggets II is more British and European artists.

I am not familiar with the Shags, sorry.

I got The nuggets sets because I figured it would be the ultimate sampler set to get started with some of this type of music.

16. Nuggets is all U.S. psych
Edited on Sat Dec-06-03 08:52 PM by DancingBear
Nuggets II is all British/U.K psych.

Start w/ the "regular" Nuggets. There is also a 10(?) CD set (sold individually, as well) called "Pebbles", which contains some of the lesser known garage band stuff from the mid-late 60's. Good stuff there as well.

12. Which ones?
Edited on Sat Dec-06-03 08:43 PM by DancingBear
There were quite a few bands w/that name in the 60's. I remember the Connecticut group by that name (they used two "g's" on the end for a while) that used to drive around in a hearse.

18. Rats - can't help you there


Did I read you right - were they an all girl band in the 60's? If so, that is really amazing. The only band I can even remember from that time w/a female in it was a band called The Honeycombs (they hit the top 40 twice with "I Can't Stop and "Have I The Right" and had a female drummer, I believe). Later on (1970) came a band called "Fanny", but that was it , in my time, anyway. :)

4. Boom Bip Bip Boom Bip Bip Yeah!
Loved the song Seven and Seven Is. This was a very progressive song in the pre-SGT. Pepper days.

I see their greatest hits CD around every once in a while and am always tempted to get it. Maybe I will soon.

11. I love Love. Very influential band, very underrated --
They were part of a very rich Los Angeles rock scene in the mid-to-late 1960s, that included the Byrds, the Leaves, the Black Sheep, Canned Heat, the Association, Hearts and Flowers, the Buffalo Springfield, the Beach Boys, the Doors, Taj Mahal, Spirit, the Mothers of Invention, the Turtles, Captain Beefheart, Ry Cooder, Randy Newman -- the list is long and distinguished.

Love wasn't afraid to try out different genres, sometimes they failed, but when they succeeded, they were great.

Their first three albums on Elektra are classics.

20. Forever Changes is one of the three greatest albums
in Rock & Roll history. Beginning to end. Perfect.

Actually, the first three albums are ALL exceptional, as are the singles from the original lineup.

Although the band Arthur called "Love" after he fired the rest of the band, could never live up to the previous glory, the "Four Sail" record is also vastly underrated.

I think I'll go listen to the newest Love record now (recorded in London, 2003, shortly after Arthur got out of prison -- the entire "Forever Changes" album live in concert).
