Johnny gnr Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 California Dreaming-Mamas and the Papas!Is it the ultimate song of the 60s-70s?I mean its an amazing song,but do you think its the one that expressed that whole generation,you know Woodstock era Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ohdistortedsmile1789 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 No, that would be "Dancing in the Street". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rQueen Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I love that song! I don't know why but I've never bothered to check another song of this band though... I'm not sure if this song is the one to express this era. I'd say that when I think of Woodstock mostly some Janis Joplin songs cross my mind.

Roses Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 It's definitely a song that really evokes that era in my mind...but I'd also say San Francisco by Scott McKenzie does that too. Oh and Tim Hardin "If I Were A Carpenter" is a lovely song.And of course Jimi Hendrix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankwhite Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Yeah great song indeed.It would be awesome to cover it ina slightly more rocking blues context, if only i had a decent band together lol.i think the buzzcocks could do it, howard devoto on lead with pete shelley backing!! or even Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
