Spurred on by news of Quicksilver Messenger Service reissues, and the revelation that Jerry Garcia wanted to make his guitar sound like a jet plane, I am starting a thread devoted to hairy, ill-groomed individuals making an open-ended mescalin racket. I know very little about this sort of thing, beyond loving Hawkwind and the Groundhogs, and finding a lot of this stuff disappointing either for being badly-played blues (a cliche, I know, but a fair one) or just deeply irritating people pratting about (hello, Fugs!, bonjour, Holy Modal Rounders!). I have never knowingly heard a Grateful Dead LP, I'd love to like them, but suspect I actually wouldn't.
