Hey! I am going to start my own radio show and I want the theme of my show to be hippy music. I am trying to come up with as many hippy bands as I can, the more obscure and unheard of, the better. I'm open to anything. They must actually be from the 60s or 70s. To help stimulate your brain-storming, I'm talking about bands like Jefferson Airplane, CSNY, Grateful Dead, Uriah Heep, and just about anything else psychadelic. I might even be willing to include current groups, so long as they are truly good and do not desecrate authentic hippy music. Thanks, guys!

the mamas and the papas. cream. jimi hendrix, blind faith, the doors. Crosby Stills and Nash (and sometimes Young) speaking of Young...there is a great hippy song by Neil Young called "Ohio" that talks about the Kent state riots and the deaths of the students involved in that riot.
They're not very obscure bands though....
