Of
all these bands I've actually heard 19 and have heard of about half
that and actually partied with three. If you happen to have been in one
of these bands please leave a comment and tell us of your experience.
After the NUGGETS album series I thought I'd heard all the psychedelic
bands from the 60s there were to hear but I guess it just goes to show
that the past is changing as much as the future.
