Yup, that's top surf music. Deserving of a top spot as a surf band.

Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix.

Finally someone hit the nail on the head! And SF my old home of the 60's, add also Greatful Dead, and Yardbirds

WELL, if you want to talk about legendary SF bands, how about Quicksilver Messenger Service, and of course the great Grace Slick and Airplanes?? Not to mention Moby Grape and all the other gread acid head bands. BTW, I'm not that old, but I got all my older brother's albums. And, of course the queen of all queens, Janice Joplin.

You know what I'm talkin' bout, chinthee, or your "brother" does, I could go on naming great bands, but their are alot out there, ask JANIS :lol:Not to forget Zappa & The Mothers!

Samuijens, I'm absolutely steeped in the SF movement. Do you remember Suzy Creamcheese? My first album purchase. Loved it. trip on. Vanilla Fudge duay.

HELP I'm a ( Farang) Cop!!!

Santana really deserves a BIG mention, soo smooth! And Best Festival; Goes to........Monterey Pops, 1967, me there at 17! Groovy! Ya, Man, those where the daze! Dan Hicks & his Hot Licks! Who everybody liked, And Jimi Henricks, Man, He set the World On Fire!

Why so few named him, I can't understand!

Also, Son of Suzy Cremecheese and SoSC Rides again!

Don't worry about being a farang cop. I forgive you, and anyway, I'm a very straight middle aged man trying to control my teenaged son's pot useage!

I'M NOT A farang Cop, was just writing some words from Zappas FREAK OUT Album; Help I'm a Rock. Help I'm a Cop!,

Howdy,

When I first seen "HELP I'm a ( Farang) Cop!!!" I pictured a New Orlean style cop on horseback crusing Sukumvit after midnight with a belly club in his hand . Controlling out of control farangs, as it is done during Marti Gras.

Hey I have not seen Stephen Wolf on the list.
