Here it is, the battle of the bands for groups that did their music
thing at least somewhere in the 60's. I am sure there are lots
missing, and for it to be a 'battle', I tried pitting a group that
would at least have some sort of similarity between the other. That
might be stretching it. The idea is to either vote, give a rating, or
make a comment about the 'battle'. Of course if you don't like the
selections, you can add yer own, and tell how bad the selections are
too...:). On rating, we did a 0 -10 last year, and that of course can
include, likes, influence, talent, poetry..etc. etc. Have fun, and
good luck. One group decided to do a 4-6, 6-4 type of rating, and I
thought that was good.

1. The Beatles vs. The Beach Boys
2. The Blues Magoos vs. 13th Floor Elevators
3. Climax Blues Band vs. The Seeds
4. Chicago vs. Santana
5. Pink Floyd vs. The Moody Blues
6. Big Brother and the Holding Company vs. Country Joe and the Fish
7. Black Sabbath vs. Mothers of Invention
8. Led Zeppelin vs. The Who
9. The Four Freshmen vs. The Four Seasons
10. The Ventures vs. Jan & Dean
11. Buffalo Springfield vs. C,S, N, & Y
12. The Zombies vs. Paul Revere & The Raiders
13. The Shondells vs. The Rascals
14. Cream vs. The Yardbirds
15. The Byrds vs. The Lovin' Spoonful
16. The Searchers vs. The Vogues
17. The Animals vs. The Rolling Stones
18. Herman's Hermits vs. The Turtles
19. The Monkees vs. The Dave Clark Five
20. Procul Harem vs. Deep Purple
21. Traffic vs. Blind Faith
22. Strawberry Alarm Clock vs. Vanilla Fudge
23. Small Faces vs. Them
24. Jimi Hendrix Experience vs. The Doors
25. The Bee Gees vs. The Mamas and Papas
26. Captain Beefheart (The Magic Band) vs. Iron Butterfly
27. The Beau Brummels vs. The Seekers
28. Gerry and the Pacemakers vs. The Standells
29. Jefferson Airplane vs. Velvet Underground
30. The Skyliners vs. Dion and the Belmonts
31. The Deltones vs. Gary Lewis & The Playboys
32. The Hollies vs. The Kinks
33. The Band vs. The Grateful Dead
34. The Isley Brothers vs. The Miracles
35. The Impressions vs. The Drifters
36. The Crickets vs. The Comets
37. The Everly Brothers vs. Sonny & Cher
38. Peter & Gordon vs. Chad & Jeremy
39. Quicksilver Messenger Service vs. Moby Grape
40. The Allman Brothers vs. Credence Clearwater Revival
41. The Electic Prunes vs. The Amboy Dukes
42. The Chambers Brothers vs. Sly & The Family Stone
43. The Righteous Brothers vs. Simon & Garfunkel
44. The Spencer Davis Group vs. Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels
45. The Shirelles vs. The Supremes
46. The Grassroots vs. The Association
47. The Coasters vs. The Pharoahs
48. The Kingston Trio vs. Peter, Paul, and Mary
49. The Temptations vs. The Four Tops

Obviously I left out single artists like James Brown, Bob Dylan,
Donavan and Neil Diamond even though they surely had bands, but they
weren't noted for them, and made it for those that had 2 and above. So
here they are, even though I should sit here and even this out to 50.
This is somewhat of a scramble from last year's pittings and I am sure
a few groups were added.

Where is Steppenwolf ?
I wasn't even a thought back in the 60's but I really
like Steppenwolf's music. Great stuff. So you can't have
60's band list without Steppenwolf. right ?

Wow... someone has a LOT of time on his hands.

I appreciate all the thought that went into this, and the fact that it
will get people thinking about some great bands that they may have
forgotten. I really do. But I hate the whole "battle of the bands"
concept. Music and art are not competitions. Different music touches
people in different ways. It's all too subjective for any kind of
meaningful comparison.

But, hey, if this gets people curious and leads them to listen to
bands they've never heard before, that's cool.

Absolutely correct! In fact I thought of it when I laid down last
night! I have no idea who I could have paired them up against. One
of my fav's for sure.

I tend to agree, but there is enough output to want me to listen to
the bands they made comments about. And being subjective is about
having a good trolling experience sometimes...:).

There was a 3 song set by them on youtube I liked. Lots of garage
bands I like in that era.

Try a Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine on youtube at the Monterey Pop, and
I think Janis brought Mama Cass to tears for her song there as well.

TJ & S..more charted hits. Gimme Some Lovin' wasn't there original
song, and I like Sweet Cherry Wine over a Peace Train
anyday...Groovin' was great though. I have both their best hits..and
like them both.

Fair, but I like to include the other Animal groups after the first
folded up in 1966. I even think they were better after the breakup in
many respects, but then the Stones did there best work from mid 60's
to mid 70's.

There are 4 versions of the band with Bob Fripp being the only
constant. Music to bring you to tears or leave you speechless. Saw
three times live ( three different versions of the band) and they were
the best band I have ever seen. Powerful and talented

I liked the Young Rascals more than the rascals- Ain't Gonna Eay Out
My Heart Anymore , Lonely Too Long, Good Lovin... Almost any song off
any of the 3 albums but they rocked and were funky Neither of which
T.J & S was

Really I like We Can Be Together and Sweet Jane but don't really care
for anything else

I listened a little, and they definitely can play some instruments.
I'll have to try some more...I like them entertaining as well, and
waiting for that to kick in.

Country Joe got lots of FM play with Electric Music For The Mind and
Body and toured with the greats. Cheap Thrills was a fav Big Brother
album of mine.

True to a sense, but Tommy rocked and funked at times too. Both
played the same Hollywood Bowl concert in 68. Might give that a
listen. Here is TJ & S with one of their first hits. Not too much
play, but funky to me. (Love it on high in the car..:).

They also did Pink Floyd type stuff with Cellophane Symphony...and did
a more funkier style after the end of the decade breakup when Tommy
overdid his amphetamines. Anyway, I liked the Rascals and YR almost
as much, and funky was there forte.

Well I am not a huge fan of them...but The Airplane had to be in my
top ten groups for the decade.

I love it... I can play the whole thing in my head,
in order.... "I found a new friend, underneath my pillow...
C'mon! And drive my car..."

Have you watched the documentary? Super
plus double good.

Let's not forget "I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin-To-Die" with the Fish Cheer and
it's unforgettable (maybe just to me) "Pat's Song". Also "Together",
with "Rock and Soul Music".

I got 'em all.

Not a big fan of the POTA stuff... but I go
through periods like that; I'll not like some
of their stuff, then it grows on me. Currently
The Else is my fave, or John Henry. I've
got most of their stuff, but still lack probably
five albums. Have yet to see them live... been
listening to them since about '88.

And the last '60's' battle is the long lost #50

The Neanderthals vs. The Mummies

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmSToIqtjQM&NR=1 The Mummies

I believe The Mummies have their own version of a Planet of the
Apes..:).
