To those of us growing up in the 70s, this was just our music. Looking back, I realize how truly fortunate we were.

[@joedeshull4041]

Oh my gosh we sure we're are music rocked literally 🥰🎶🎵

Absolutely!!

[@brianbrekke9500]

And it didn't matter what genre it was. Msuicians back then had pure talent, and they enjoyed what they did.

[@j20tower]

The 60’s had the greatest music. This is from 1968. The music I grew up with. Keep playing those golden oldies.

[@Mark-iv7np]

You have great musical taste! I really can't decide was 68, 69 or 70 my favorite yr for music. You keep me Hanging On by Vanilla Fudge was very good from this yr also Shame Shame Magic Lanterns, Time by Chamber Brothers, Come Back by the Equals. And the hits keep coming 😀 also the boss jocks added to the enjoyment

My Dad could take the softer stuff, (Moody Blues, actually got to liking “Tommy”). But i’ll never forget - he said “son., some of that music is OK, but when you put that black guy on you’ve got to use headphones”. That black guy? Jimi Hendrix. 😂

[@ptrlxc]

This is a definite road-trip music. Another great by them is The Pusher. And that’s a rounchy guitar with feedback.

[@MrBojangles110]

No doubt. And a must on the playlist while camping - whether in the mountains, lakes or on the banks of the Colorado river (for any river for that matter). Timeless music.

[@lyriasfaves]

The Pusher... always been my fave of theirs... it's the one on my playlist.

[@jwaldhelm]

Written by…Hoyt Axton, great artist in his own right.

[@sonora108]

I am an old dude and was around back in the day when this song hit the market - 1968. I was 18 and what I love about this song is how almost everyone reacts to it when first hearing it unless your dead or deaf. It makes you move like tap your toes bob your head swing your body side to side. Did that to me at 18 and still does at 74, love this song.

[@jaycorby]

I feel that my dude! Those first few bars of the down beat always bring me up outta my chair.

[@mvjonsson]

Psychedelic and funky.

[@fredkrissman6527]

The music of the 1960s-70s was rooted in a revolutionary (and psychedelic!) counterculture... When corporate control was cemented over that music (described beautifully, and cryptically on Hotel Cali by the Eagles), that countercultural influence was rather systematically obliterated. Thank the gods we still have that era to look back to!

[@royalway12]

I saw them live. John Kay and his voice is one of the greatest rock voices ever.

[@odysseusthesojourner4401]

[@erikahlander3489]

As already mentioned: Steppenwolf's songs can stand by themself, but with the movie "Easy rider" they become iconic in the end of the 60's. "Born to be wild" even more! And "The pusher". Jimi Hendrix with the song "if 6 was 9" is also music from the same film.

[@Joe-Flow]

Great call! I forgot all about that classic movie.

[@Joe-Flow]

Man I didn't realize that movie had so many great songs. I'm guessing the only other 60's movie that could compare would be "The Graduate."

[@jesse7603]

Don't forget this song on Team America. F*** Yeah I

[@pbrucpaul]

"If 6 Was 9" IMHO was the coolest Number from the '60's. You do your thing, and I'll do my thing and it's Cool.

[@tonetone7572]

growing up in the 60's and 70's was a very special and unique time for music .. i remember when this first came out dancing with the super foxy teen girls at the school dance....the song rocked and so did those girls✌

I got to see them live in concert in 1970. After the show I went on stage and got the glass John Kay had been drinking out of during the concert. Wish I still had it, but a drunk friend tripped and fell at a party, knocking it over and shattering it into a million pieces. Oh well, at least I got a good memory out of it. John Kay is still a rock hero!

I saw Steppenwolf and Iron Butterfly together in 1969. I was 15 and smoking a pipe packed with some great stuff, 20 feet away from the stage. Every song was longer.

In the late 80's, a local classic rock station was having a contest to win tickets to see this band. You had to fax in something related to their music, so I was in art school at the time and I sketched a picture of a hippie riding a magic carpet and won the contest and a pair of tickets to see them at a small club near Seattle, WA. It was a fun show!

[@Brown_Buffalo]

When my kids were young we would go to the Golden Gate park in my ‘71 westy I would play this song and my kids would rock out. Fast forward 27 years my #1 5 yr old grandson heard this song for the first time while riding in my bus and he loved it. Every time we would go anywhere he would hop in the back seat buckle in and tell me to play that song. (And yes it had all the pre-requisite Grateful Dead stickers) my grandson is 17 now and my beloved westy has passed on to the great bus in the sky. Grandson and I really miss it.

[@deborahbryan3639]

The rock band Steppenwolf takes us on a “Magic Carpet Ride” (1968). Hermann Hesse’s novel Steppenwolf (1927) includes a “Magic Theater,” where the protagonist Harry Haller is able to explore the pieces and potential of his discombobulated self. Eventually, Harry sees that his hyper-intellectualism and disgust with bourgeois ways have stifled him to the verge of suicide. He has to learn to laugh.
