Once I managed sneak "Help I'm A Rock" on the turntable to play for members of my unsuspecting elementary school music appreciation class. About two minutes into the yowling chaos of the song, my music teacher psysically dragged out of class and walked me to the principal's office. I was suspended creating a disturbance and making mockery of my music class. Pretty subversive stuff.

Me personally, I class "Freak Out" well the the more experimental stuff on the album as experimental rock. You hear strong jazz and avant influences. The Return of the Son of Monster Magnet sounds wild and Alvin and the Chipmunks at the end? lol

As for the Beatles the Anthology version of "Norwegian Wood" that sounds like the start of their psychedelic sound. I never got the American connection to be honest. I think their biggest American influences where the Byrds, Dylan and the Beach Boys but I don't really hear their influence on the Beatles psychedelic sound.

oi mojo don't trouble yourself, took a few milliseconds to find (quality) shares. surely you know the google blogsearch routine by now Stu?
totallyfuzzy.blogspot.com aswell if that doesn't help. check PM

Totally forgot about Skip Spence, I've been listening to Oar all day. Imagine if he'd actually got to hack Moby Grape to bits, the album would never have been made

[Mojo]

I already upped Moby Grape but didnt get round to Skip Spence.

I didnt look to see if i could find a link out there already to be honest but if theres links out there then cool. I dont mind doing it though as I never know when giving people pre existing links if its gonna be a pile of **** or the tags are gonna be screwed, you know, things that piss me off

Stu, if you dont find a link just give me a shout.

Your music teacher was a ****head. Whenever we have to suggest a song for the class to listen to during music at school, I pretty much always choose no wave or krautrock.
Freak Out is pretty great. I'd say it's more experimental/avant garde rock/doo wop/blues than psychedelic.

yeah it's true you don't always know what you're getting, i have developed a routine of looking for the album with '320' tagged on the end, if that doesn't work you can usually tell how good the quality is by the size of the file you are downloading.

I can vouch for that Skip Spence one though
