Tell us who your LEAST favorite 60's artist/band was?
As a golden oldie (age 52) I am a complete music snob when it comes to the soundtrack of my youth-but on the way home tonight I heard "Spinning Wheel" by Blood Sweat and Tears and I realized that I hated them. Dennis Yost and Classic IV didn't wing me either.

Have at it...

3. Never liked the Rollin' Stones. Crude and Simplistic.
But that doesn't mean I don't like people who like them. :)

4. That's easy. The Grateful Fucking Dead.
I never, ever understood what the fascination was. I honestly thought they were some ingenious pop culture prank for a while. Or maybe I just didn't ingest enough drugs to clue into it.

6. Interesting you say that.
Every good Guitar player I've ever known thought they Sucked. :)

To me, they played like a pack of boring Amateurs. :)

10. To me, they were like a Saturday Night at the Elks Lodge jam band...
with Uncle Fred on bass, but without the yummy $3.00-a-plate spaghetti.

I know a lot of people like the Dead. I just never did.

16. You mean the "Country Bear Jamboree"?
Believe me, massive amounts of drugs didn't make them sound any better. KISS for the hippies.

11. Righteous Brothers, Four Seasons, not a big Dylan fan either
On the other hand, I really liked BS&T, Chase and Chicago 1.0 (Terry Kath version)

19. The Beach Boys
And if you think they sounded bad back then, the surviving members were trying somewhat of a comeback about two years ago and sounded even worse.

21. Ted Nugent (in his Amboy Dukes period)
Get a (pant)load of this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Nugent#Military

An interviewer from the British newspaper The Independent questioned Nugent about a 1977 interview in High Times magazine in which Nugent allegedly detailed elaborate steps taken to avoid the Vietnam draft.

"I got 30 days' notice of the physical," Nugent told them. "I ceased cleansing my body. Two weeks before the test I stopped eating food with nutritional value. A week before, I stopped going to the bathroom. I did it in my pants. My pants got crusted up."


And as if that weren't :puke: worthy enough:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Nugent#Amboy_Dukes

The Amboy Dukes' second single was "Journey to the Center of the Mind", which Nugent, an ardent anti-drug campaigner, claims to this day he did not realize was about drug use.

:rofl: Probably didn't inhale, either!
