Take as example – Iron Butterfly.
How strange, now, to listen to this American music, compared to today’s developments. How strange to hear so much relevant about today, even long before.
Try “In the time of our lives”, “Filled with fear”, and “Real fright”. Check “Unconscious power” on their first album Heavy, and “Possession” (avoid the repeated-to-death “In a gadda da vida”).
These are songs from the counter culture, way back when. It did not win the agenda. Still, interesting listening. Sometimes even more relevant today.
