Blue Cheer - consciousness with a cover of "Summertime Blues" (originally by Eddie Cochran) from their debut album Vincebus Eruptum (1968). The band was named after a strain of LSD promoted by underground chemist and Grateful Dead backer Owsley Stanley; the drug was named for a popular detergent. The group's sound was hard to categorize, but was definitely blues-based, psychedelic, and very loud. The band has been subsequently acclaimed as an influence on garage rock, punk music, heavy metal, and grunge. The group underwent several personnel changes before the 1968 release of Outsideinside, and then through yet more changes before 1969's New! Improved! Blue Cheer, followed by Blue Cheer. 1970 saw the release of Human Being and then 1971's Oh! Pleasant Hope..
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars - album's opener, where the title is hoarsely shouted repeatedly, each time more and more powerful as though Bowie was having a breakdown in the studio. "Star" is a memorably pure rock and roll song, describing the beauty of being a rock star; it is Ziggy's dream, ending with the prophetic "watch me now". "Starman", the album's single, has been described as a cross between mod and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" (Jim Bickhart, Phonograph Record Magazine (July 1972)) with an exhilarating chorus of Ziggy sending a message to Earthlings via the radio, warning them that he will come to liberate their minds if they are ready for it. "Soul Love" is notable for Bowie's pioneering and original use of a jazzy saxophone. The glam rock sound on Ziggy Stardust comes from early.

The idea that popular music could and should change the way one feels and lead social change largely developed during this period, though it was certainly not unheard of before. Funk, gospel and album-oriented soul Black music in the late 1960s diversified. Soul music had arisen as a secularized form of gospel music. With the rise of psychedelia and folk, however, artists that had previously been best-sellers found themselves unpopular with the new sound. Many, such as The Temptations and The Supremes, never fully recovered, unable to adjust to the changes in music. Soul music, led at the time by.
