Hippie songs?

[Dutchy]

do ya have any recommendations for some good hippies songs?
Im currently listening to Guns n roses, cant find something else thats related to hippies

[moonflower]

You worry me greatly BUT try the Grateful Dead, jam bands, mmm just listen to music you like man.
Peace!

[gratefulgirl]

The grateful dead
string cheese incident
warren haynes
govt mule
galactic
phish
jazz is dead

[drumminmama]

Kan'Nal www.kannal.org offers up some of their tunes free
If you like Guns'n'Roses, I would seek the "heavier" side of tooday's hip music.
again, Warren Haynes/Gov't Mule, newer cheese, maybe Spearhead if you groove with some hip hop, acoustic Michael Franti if not.

for grins and giggles, do a web search for hippy AND music

[Natural Mystic]

There's a whole world of music for you, my current favs:

Old and In the Way
Ekoostik Hookah
Addison Groove Project
Yonder Mountain String Band
10 Foot Ganja Plant
John Brown's Body
Iron and Wine

Some bluegrass style bands:

And for that matter why not go for the kinky reggae old style Wailers or Peter Tosh?

Peace

talking modern "hippies" i don't think music's really like..hippie music. but if you're talking what hippies generally listen to, yeah grateful dead's most popular. i really dig psychedelic guitar...my love and god: Hendrix. it just branches out from there, also grunge, alice in chains especially, i'm getting more into that lately.
If you're talking 60s music-search your local library for cds of flower child music! it's awesome! haha it really is..interesting but it can get annoying if you listen to it too many times in a row. like: if you're going to san francisco, be sure to wear flowers in your hair
i think it's so groovy now-friend and lover
etc.
yeahhh..the doors, rolling stones, cream, donovan, leonard cohen, any group off the Woodstock record-check that out, it'll blow your mind.
Peace !

[redthewitch75]

I went from hardcore rock, to some alternative type stuff, then to folk and now I dig a lot of bluegrass.



Sounds like my progression through music, somewhat! ;)

[redthewitch75]

I missed something somewhere, but since when is GnR considered "Hippie" music? Anyway, someone on here opened my eyes to Country Joe. I also enjoy CCR, The Doors, Bob Marley (not exactly "Hippie", but man, what a fanfreakintastic feeling to jam to some old Bob!). But, seriously, listen to what ever touches you, inspires you, makes you feel good, *Hippie* or no.

~Goose Creek Symphony. i highly highly recommend them to everyone. they changed my life. a wonderful group of men. check out their site: goosecreeksymphony.com.
~the soundtrack to the movie Easy Rider is really good.
~of course the Dead.
~Hendrix
~janis joplin
~the band
~bob marley
~skynard
~arlo guthrie (who happens to be directly related to my best friend). Alice's Resturant is a good album.
~ani difranco
~bob dylan
~old crow medicine show. i just got their album and it is pretty cool.
~lucinda williams
~Carlos Santana
~Stevie ray vaugne (the guitar god in my opinion)

i read what some of you all posted and i'm glad that there are some people left in this world with good taste in music. i thought i was alone for awhile.

[mamasharones]

Start with the beatles then expand from there

[beadiebeauty]

check out jimi hendrix , janis joplin , joni mitchell ,joan biez , bob dylan

janis joplin is my fav female singer of all time !

;)

[treehugger]

I must be weird...I just can't get into the bluegrass-sounding stuff. I tend to like New Age stuff....Kay Gardner's "Ocean Moon" album is awesome, IMHO...very ethereal. I think it's great stoner music, easy to get lost in the songs.

[lucyindisguise]

In addition to the stuff already mentioned, I would like to humbly suggest the blues - Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn, BB King, Etta James, Koko Taylor, Coco Montoya, Susan Tedeschi (whom many people like to compare to Janis Joplin)
;)

[theREALsun]

i am sure that these have all been mentioned, but I haven't been around lately.......
I go through phases of who I get stuck on, recently I can get enough of
*Jim Morrison (American Prayer)
*The Doors (Morrison Hotel)
*Moe (Wormwood)
*Wilco (Yankee Hotel Foxtrot)
*G Love & Special Sauce (self titled)
*Bob Marley (Natural Mystic)
+ many many more

if you get a chance to check out Led Zepplins Source of Inspiration and Thicker than Water Soundtrack................. oohhh, so good!

[moonjava]

wooo! thicker than water is such an awesome/beautifully filmed film!! and it's soundtrack is awesome...and it's surfing.
does it get any better?
peace!

I must be weird...I just can't get into the bluegrass-sounding stuff. I tend to like New Age stuff....Kay Gardner's "Ocean Moon" album is awesome, IMHO...very ethereal. I think it's great stoner music, easy to get lost in the songs.
I don't dig that new age stuff that sounds all electrified. I like a more natural sound. Can you recommend some NA music that is very natural? Am I making sense? I never know how to describe what specifically it is about New Age that I don't like. I like Enigma, I like Enya(overdone, I know), but I would like to find some more music...tranquil, serene, calming. Any ideas? And I'll quit rambling now!

[treehugger]

I found an awesome CD yesterday...it really takes you into another plane. It's especially good on weed but awesome even without it. I linked it in my Oh. My. God post over there.

[-metal_guru-]

... ok... kinda sad i think but i really like clannad. v. relaxing! hurricane party= newish group. just got their album and its great!
also.. not really all that 'hippieish' but Biffy Clyro are awesome, as are The Music. Pink floyd= wowie! and (predictable I know- But still great!) John lennon. Totally loving Instant Karma. wow. T-rex are groovy- marc Bolan was one hell of a funky disco weasel! ... ocean colour scene rock. deep purple = waa hoo! 'n' 'strawberry fields forever' = one of the bestestest songs ever! (is it strawberry fields forever or just strawberry feilds?)
... CRASH TEST DUMMIES!!!! ... you havent lived till you hear 'mmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm' (god shuffled his feet) WOW!!!! an amazing album!
hothouse flowers
check out the manic street preachers earlier albums. they are amazing. pitty theyre crap now! if ur gonna get a manics album, I would recommend Gold against the soul, the holy bible, generation terrorists and maybe even everything must go (a later album but pretty cool) ... sorry to ramble on!
peace x

[PEACE FROG]

Cat stevens or Jim Croce!! Awesome picks two thumbs up!!! :D

[LIBRA]

bob dylan, joan biaz, jimi hendrix, crosby stills nash and young, country joe mcdonald, all good music!!
guns n roses, huh I didnt think that was labeled "hippie" :D

[Sunnydaydreams]

Everyone should own this movie & its kick ass soundtrack!! Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas!!!! Johnny Depp & Benico del Toro are gods in this movie! I can't say enough good things about this movie! The soundtrack has quotes from the movie between songs.

"We had two bags of grass, 75 pounds of mescaline, 5 sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a galaxie of multi-color uppers, downers, screamers, laughers, also a quart of rum, a quart of tequelia, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and a dozen amyls."

I haven't seen or heard either in over a month! Scary! :D

Also, check out Blind Melon. They were a band from IN (Shannon Hoon lived in Lafayette about 30 miles from where I do!) who were pretty good. Check out songs "No Rain" & "Galaxie".

Peace & Love

[Dead Fan]

I would suggest a lot of things
Derek Trucks
Dave Matthews
Moe.
Bob Marley
But honestly i would look away from well known music and find some local bands. There are no hippie bands where i am but i went to asheville and found plenty.

[freakyfairy]

Cat stevens or Jim Croce!! Awesome picks two thumbs up!!! :D
cat stevens rules!!! we listen to him in the car whenever we drive anywhere....
