Storm songs and psychadelic 60's

Okay, folks! Please put on your best thinking-cap...

I'm putting a couple of CDs together for a brother of mine for his B-day. I need storm songs (songs about the ocean are included) and songs from the 60s that are "psychedelic". (Now I know how to spell it. lol) Here's what I have so far...

Storms-Ocean

Storms In Africa-Enya
Sitting On the Dock of the Bay-?
Ride, Captain, Ride-?
Wooden Ships-Crosby, Stills and Nash
Riding the Storm Out-REO Speedwagon
Calypso-John Denver

60s...

Journey to the Center of the Mind-Amboy Dukes
I Had Too Much to Dream Last Night-Electric Prunes
Magic Carpet Ride-Steppenwolf
Mama Told Me Not To Come-3 Dog Night

All your suggestions are appreciated. I have time. His B-day isn't until June.

Celia

California Girls by Fever Tree, or anything by Iron Butterfly.

Ottis Redding sang sitting on the dock of the bay.
Golly, I know the ride capt ride too, but can't remember

Now the 60's acid rock, now you are talking.
Another vote for Iron butterfly
Stairway to Heaven
Smoke on the Water

Jimmy Hendricks
How about a little Janis Joplin
The Doors
The Who


(can't spell, but sure love this music)

Riders of the Storm--(was that the doors? )

Sitting on the Dock--Otis Redding?

My son was majorly into Hendrix last summer- got some awesome stuff from I Tunes- I'd say Voodoo Chld (slight return) Live at Woodstock (13 minutes LOL) and Wild Thing Live at Woodstock.

Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

Good ones, all. Keep them coming. I would like to have a set for him by June.

Jimi Hendrix did a song called "In from the storm"... it's on Cry of Love and a few other albums

How about adding some Jefferson Airplane (starship or whatever, they kept changing their name)

How about some CSN Crosby Still and Nash

David Crosby wrote some awsome tunes while out on his sail boat.

Shadow Captain

Wooden ships

Thanks, Melody. I had forgotten some of these and I'm looking up the Jimmy Buffet ones now. I haven't heard those.

due to a night of insomnia, I can add a few more goodies.

Sloop John B. ...Beach Boys
Like a Hurricane...Neil Young
Galveston...Glen Campbell
Who'll Stop The Rain... CCR (actually a thinly veiled protest song)
When the Ship comes In..Bob Dylan (a not so thinly veiled protest song)

What Condition My Condition Is In.....Kenny Rogers & First Edition (yep, ole Kenny was a rock star before he was a country star)
For What It's Worth...Buffalo Springfield (more of a protest song, but such a classic, I had to include it)

WOW....

memory lane

Jefferson Airplane's Wooden Ships - Volunteer album.

Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water - Machine Head album.
Vanilla Fudge - She's Not There

Kind of looks like an eyes theme but they're all from the era mentioned.

Aqualung - Jethro Tull

Yellow Submarine - Beatles
I'll probably think of more later.

Cool! My brother is going to have a whole boxed set before long! ☺

Here I am- Rock me Like a Hurricane? thinking its not the same as the one by Neil Diamond above..

Neil Young was the artist in the above post.

Hurricane was the Scorpions.

The Woodstock album has a lot of stuff on it. It was a double album originally, but I don't know if iTunes offers it. I wasn't there, but I sure remember all the news stories when it happened.

There are 2 double Woodstock albums. 4 discs in all. Album 1 has the couple standing, with a blanket around them on the cover. Album 2 has little children on the front. (I have them both on vinyl) Album 2 is very difficult to come by, and is extremely collectible.

I wish I knew then what I know now! Got rid of all my vinyls in 1989. What was I thinking? Our friends have one wall of shelves in their spare room filled with albums, in alphabetical order no less. They are both old hippies, I bet they still have Woodstock. If they do, I'll make them drag it out next time we're over there and listen to it again.

I still have a turntable. My vinyl collection is vast, and I keep adding to it. (it's now the hip thing to have among college students too) My sis and her boyfriend used to follow the Grateful Dead around the country in an old van long before it was cool.

Peace, brothers and sisters! I have a German copy of the Woodstock album. A brother of mine picked it up when he was there years and years ago.

Germany produced some great recordings. The quality was wonderful. They have a great business now with re-issuing old out of print stuff. If it's obscure and hard to find, chances are, it's German.

Stormy Monday - Lee Michaels
(also recorded by Etta James, Eric Clapton, Gary Moore, Roomful of Blues, and many, many others).

Saw the Woodstock album for sale on the GEMM website. They wanted $350 for it. YIKES!

Which version? Please say the German! LOL

Go ask Alice Jefferson airplane-Starship

Kwanjin: There's a question mark where the version is supposed to be.

Too bad.

I should have a list compiled before too long and I'll post it.

This post was edited out because I thought I was on a different thread. * blushing *

I thought I would think of more stormy 60's songs but I didn't. Oh! Yes, I did. "Everyone Knows It's Windy" by ? Anybody remember that one?

I think the Association did a song about Windy.

I'm halfway through the list, please bear with me. ☺ Keep the suggestions coming, though!

Ina Gada Davida by Iron Butterfly (I might be spelling it wrong). That's definitely psychadelic.
Listen to the rythym of the pouring rain (can't think of the title and can't remember who sang it)
You want really psychadelic, Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield

Been racking my brains trying to remember Tubular bells. That is a good one.
