Don't 4get Dandylions don't tell no lies ! Lol. I' ll listen to some of The Music Machines fine tunes of the mid- to late 60s ! Some of the tunes you mentioned came out around 1965-66 , and I was 8/9 years old listening to Phillies Famous 56 WFIL ! Rember very well some of my friends brothers , and neighbors sons , being sent to a hell in South East Asia--SouthVietnam ! My uncle was kia there mid- March , 1968 , @ tail end of TET! Also , 10 days before my 11th bday . The 60s was a interestingly crazy time line in our country's history ! The music , from all genres was into the psychedelic scene by 1964 , actually earlier than that . I'd say more back into the late 50s , and early 60s. Be Bops , Beatniks , Merry Pranksters , to the quintessential hippies , of course so did drugs like LSD , Mushrooms , Speed/Methamphetamines , Barbituates , Heroin , and Marijhuana . By the mid- to late 60s , Heroin , Smack , H , Horse , Junk , Scag , Dope became a bad epidemic ; more than the other drugs , believe it or not. Alcohol was the biggest abused drug , and always will be. Alot of these tunes of the mid- to late 60s were danced to , and listend to by people under the influence of something that would eventually deprave them later. Blues Magoos "We Ain't Got Nothing Yet " , and "The Easy Beats 'Got Fri. On My Mind' " were great beer drinking , among other indulgences , songs to dance to ! Alot , of the pop psych / psychedelic songs were good to dance to . My friends sister was one of those early hippies , and had a plethora of some early psych tunes .

"You have a lot of soul for white boys.’”--Luther Johnson, Muddy Waters Band: to Daryl Hooper (white boy) & Jan Savage (American Indian) in last recording session... Those 2 guys looked like linebackers for the LA Rams. Jan became LAPD officer after all the stardom hoopla. Jan's pentatonic scales were solid native runs; Daryl's stuff was all over the place to push the seeds to their extremes (pardon/pun) They both relied on their very own original drummer Rick Andridge for solidarity. Most folks don't know that The Seeds headlined most local shows in LA & Hollywood Strip & Hollywood Bowl where a lot of the new bands learned their chops and got famous. Historic. You can hear it.

[@steveasat2]

KoivuTheHab Even as a teen anthem, these lyrics don't have any "bite", however you choose to redefine that term. It's petulant, not visceral. Now, that's no objection to you LIKING the song. I happen to LOVE a lot of songs that have lame-ass lyrics. So I know bite-less lyrics when I hear them, and these are among them. The chorus is just a complaint and the stanzas are only the singer wanting and demanding instead of actually DOING anything. It was perfect for inclusion on the Easy Rider soundtrack because it reflects the tone of the whole movie.

The SEEDS only had a hand full of hits, but they had an impact. Non compromising. They had an Alternative vibe. Love Mr. Farmer.

[@andyvlasis1601]

Fred Stickley. I so agree.

[@maxinestannard9463]

Hell yes!

[@emmaduncan2991]

one of the "proto punk" bands of the 60's!

[@NoWayOut55]

You bet Fred! Mr. Farmer and Pushin to Hard were songs that were very well made for the genre. The Count5 and ?and the Mysterians also had the sound and groove nailed. Ya gotta love it

[@ludannelasyvyus1824]

"Can't Seem to Make You Mine", cool catchy song.

[@JosephIndellicati-pc4iy]

wonderful song: simple and too the point

[@patrickkelley6212]

A great band, A great song! Need more be said!!!!

In 1971 I let Sky and several of his friends stay at a house I had rented in Laurel Canyon. That same year Arlo Guthrie and I got him a suite for a month at the Continental Hyatt House. He was seeing pretty hard times then with no steady place to stay, hitchhiking up and down the Coast Highway crashing at different friends' houses. He was also an amazing piano player, but he always imo got too high and took too much acid. Met him down home in Laguna Beach in 1969, he stayed in Dodge City a couple days in my cousin Eddie Coleman's cabin. Good dude. RIP my brother.

Very cool. I grew up in Huntington Beach and raised my kids near Laguna. My nephew is the bass player for the band Roxanne. I had so much fun back in the 70’s and 80’s in Hollywood at the clubs. I was born in 65 and my parents were into Rock and Motown. My mom loved to go out dancing at the Cinnamon Cinder in Long Beach.

I remember him staying in Topanga Canyon - I knew (still know) his then girlfriend Carla.

The electric piano during the bridge is AWESOMELY trippy---love it!!

[@susancioban-dwyer2569]

I love that electric piano sound. That section reminds me of 'You Really Got Me' by The Kinks, another great early power rocker. 👍

Great song. Gets the blood flowing. Great Guitar

[@giacomopeters9988]

I recall getting a tiny tape recorder for Christmas and then recording songs like this, always hoping the DJ wouldn’t talk over my recording or no one walked in my room and started talking. Ah..life was simple then. Great music!

[@BrendaRamirez-e1n]

I have always loved this song since I was little. Its a really tough song and so cool to listen to this day.

[@stephenjames4937]

A garage band classic. Thanks for posting it.

[@laurencehawks1981]

The guitar solo, economical and absolutely perfect.

[@billybobbubbawubba9457]

Love the keyboard and guitar solos!

[@perriannesimkhovitch1127]

When people actually knew the historic musicians.

[@deelynn9932]

The Seeds or Canned Heat were among the first of what later became known as 'underground' music. Recalling that Jim Morrison/The Doors was the 'bad' boy who had issues with indecent exposure while on stage, the parents were on high alert on what their children were listening to. It's humorous now to look back and see that it was the inane lyrics to Dirty Water/Standells or Louis, Louis/Kingsmen that caught their attention. Compare those lyrics now to America's blacks and their Rap music..Hah!

[@davekring3936]

First time I heard this song I was a struggling freshman in college. It instantly struck a chord & helped ignite my bottled up rebelliousness & passion to tell off the world!!

[@alanchrisman5104]

"Pushing Too Hard" by The Seeds. was showing Brit. Invasion mixing with California's "psychedelic" sound. 1967. sung and written by Sky Saxon.

[@debp44]

pretty cool that you have comments from the artists descendance here.

[@gregmonteiro1737]

I was born in 1960. And this song is ingrained into my memory. Work is hard and they still want more. You have to make a living but " ALL I WANT IS TO JUST BE FREE TO LIVE MY LIFE THE WAY I WANT TO BE. ALL I WANT IS TO JUST HAVE FUN TO LIVE MY LIFE LIKE IT'S JUST BEGUN. But your pushin too hard your pushin too hard on me.

[@hoss73ford]

perhaps the lyrics of this song (first heard when I was 11 in late 1966) is why I never chose the married with kids route. I like being free & having fun.

[@ProudKansan08]

Reminds me of the 1960's teen/young adult mentality back then. That song expresses it in a nutshell.

[@ProudKansan08]

Mark, I sometimes people who chose your route did the right thing. Its too late for me, but, sometimes, I wonder what my life would be like if I chose to stay single with NO kids.

[@casperkenbergeron1488]

ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS BACK THEN THAT MY BAND LOVED TO PLAY IN THE 60s. In SAN FRANCISCO. CASPER.

[@henryniznik406]

Fond memories hearing this song and before that, I Can't Seem To Make You Mine, both back in 1967. I still get pumped up by it some 55 years later. The Seeds were under rated.

[@CharlesLaughtonFan]

Still have this on 45 rpm and play it loud and frequently!
