This weekend on "Say You Want A Revolution", we will highlight some of the albums that seem to be in everyone's record collection in the 60's. Even in the early 70's there seem to be a common thread in the music, let's just call it originality, creativity, one of a kind. Included this week will be David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars. Talk about something different. David gave us Glam Rock, Space Rock, Gender Bending science fiction, all in this one mind blowing record. It's a good start to your Saturday morning. Another favorite of mine is Neil Young's Harvest. A folksinger who is comning into his own as a songwriter and who comes at it as only Neil can. This one is a classic. The Doors debut ranks among the best first efforts by anyband ever, and The Doors, brought us a little closer to the dark side, but with such glee! The Jefferson Airplane gave us Surrealistic Pillow just in time for the Summer of Love. It was the first really big album to come out of the Bay Area's music revolution of the 60s. Of course there will be many other great albums represented this Saturday, including: Disreali Gears, Tommy, Beggars Banquet and Magical Mystery Tour..don't miss a lick this weekend, come to the revolution and join me ..I promise I won't go faster than 331/3 rpms.
Peace Out
