The MC5

Waaahhh Waaah Waaaaah.
Sounds like 1977 punk explosion.
1968!
Fabulous punk psychedelia.
If you like hideous loud music buy Kick out The Jams, kick the family out and laugh your socks off.
cant believe I missed this one.

I recently discovered Aphrodite's Child, thanks to 6 Music, I was only 5 when they were making music. My favourite track is "The Four Horsemen".

A more recent track that's on my repeat list is "Spitfire" by Public Service Broadcasting.

Amazing video using excerpts from a 1942 film about the designer of the Spitfire, RJ Mitchell, "The First Of The Few".
Features a bit of Milling and a Shaper as a bonus!

Great track, shame the rest of the album is a bit mediocre, was expecting more from it. Still gets a play every now and again though.

Chunko', if I wore a hat I'd doff it to you, great vid!

How the hell have I never heard of Aphrodite's Child?
Methinks some of that might be finding it's way onto my gram-o-pod very soon.

And they were truly awful
For far out maaan acid rock see if you can find any Secret Oyster.
My second Hand Rose' is a belter of Scandewegian acid guitar and sax.
Popped, will return to this thread tomorrow.
Lets face acid rock and welding have an obscure link.

Fantastic video clips, I love the studied bordome by the drummer.
Incredible music and so little posturing by the band.
I found this concert clip.

The audience look so polite.
When did moshing start to be the norm.
I used to be famous for dancing like a loon to this kind of thing.
In Ghana I heard Black Betty by the Rah Band on the stage at a 'Meet me there' ie everybody went to the beach and met everybody else and drank beer. Fantastic events.
I had to demonstrate how white people dance.
I wish it had been filmed. The expats disowned me, the locals loved it.
there is only one way to dance, vigorously shake legs, arms, head and elbows all at once. Anything within a radius of about 5 feet gets walloped.
I think it used to be called freaking out. Hilarious to watch and do, cant find any youtube clips of it.
