12. No. You have it backwards.
Cat Stevens became Yusef Islam after he converted to Islam and went crazy.

3. I would have writen in Crazy Horse (of course)
or maybe Hot Tuna. How about King Crimson, do they qualify as a "hippy band"? What about Pavlov's Dog?

10. It's a Beautiful Day
Edited on Thu Sep-09-04 10:13 PM by last_texas_dem
I just discovered this band a few months ago and have managed (through no small effort) to acquire all of their albums since then. It's hard to describe their sound (especially as it changed considerably from album to album) but they are quintessentially "hippie" music that I strongly recommend. (Especially their debut and Today). I love the Beatles and like a lot by the Youngbloods and the Grateful Dead, but figured I'd write in IABD b/c they are truly inseparable from the late-sixties/early-seventies era, while the others had success before and/or after that period.

19. Yeah
That one's on their debut. I think it's the closest to a "hit" they ever had.

13. Byrds
Check out "The Notorious Byrd Brothers" for quintessential peace, love, and harmony songs.

15. Electric Flag
if only because they only fit into the musical spectrum of about 9 months in 1969 when some really bad brown acid was available.
