The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter by The Incredible String Band

I cannot believe how low people have rated this hear. It shows that they're not in this to appreciate different kinds of music. As a huge fan of Syd Barrett Pink Floyd, this was a great revelation for me. There's just something so calming about this kind of trippy folk music. It makes you think of simpler times, and I don't see how the silliness of it doesn't just make you smile. Sure, it wasn't as put together lyrically or musically as early Pink Floyd, but it gives a great sense of whimsy and is just generally good.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company

This is just good music, also helped me to find out janis joplin sounds like robert plant when she wants and can sing really well when she wants

Pump by Aerosmith

This was actually pretty good for what it is, I just wish they didn't sing about sex so much especially with young girls! But hey, that could just be me!

Blood, Sweat & Tears by Blood, Sweat & Tears

This was actually really fun, I'm surprised I'd never heard of them before this
