settle down young man. unless you were there, SYSFMS.
I was born in ‘68. My memory goes back to 2 years old. My dad was obsessed with music. I heard them all and most of them on the radio. The best bands of the hippie heydays? Zepplin, Doors, Cream, The Who, Janis Joplin, Jimmy Hendrix. If you want to give some latitude throw in CCR and Allman Brothers for sh**s and giggles. That’s it.
Some of the most hippy dippy ones were one hit wonders or fizzled after a couple of albums. Mamas and the Papas and Dylan are the only ones that stand out with real talent.
Most of the rest were hit and miss or just plain sucked, or they weren’t boomers, like Elvis. Alot of the better boomer aged artists hit in the late 70’s early 80’s, well past the supposed glory years.
Just sayin’.
