Re: [bomp] Holy crap I'm lost...

In my searches I have unearthed some really amazing stuff. I have never 
really been interested in this stuff but I guess I never heard the right 
stuff!

It turns out that my nephew really seems to dig the later, heavy 
psych/proto metal. I was way off in what I was looking for. After 
hearing some of the mid-70s and 80s stuff that was recommended , I 
realized that I would have been pretty far off in what he's currently 
digging. He's definitely into the stoner rock stuff more than anything. 
After looking through his list of stuff he currently has, I found that 
he had already worked his way through UFO, The Scorpions, Steppenwolf, 
Judas Priest, Nazareth, etc. He had backtracked from listening to 
current stoner rock stuff (he really likes Fu Manchu and he digs the 
sludgy tones of the Melvins which he described as Sabbath on Robitussin) 
to get to the 70s stuff and now he's looking for the more obscure stuff. 
Whoever it was that had suggested Dust and Euclid got me looking for 
those to download where I found a guy who had HUNDREDS of the late 
60s/early 70s heavy psych LPs and CDs that I had never heard of (which 
in this case, is not that surprising). But I have found some stuff that 
I think I can even listen to! Here is a sampling of stuff I found:

- King George Discovery (kind of a psych/soul/Hendrix thing with a soul 
singer out front... a lot more soul touches than Hendrix.. nice 
handclaps.. dig this one ALOT!!)
- Little Free Rock
- Blackwater Park
- JPT Scare Band
- Jerusalem
- Stonewall
- Lucifer's Friend
- Killing Floor
- Jarvis Street Revue (a Thunder Bay band, Squirrely! Or I guess it was 
Fort William and Port Arthur back then...)
- Head Machine
- Coloured Balls (with Lobby Loyde from The Purple Hearts and The Wild 
Cherries of UGLY THINGS fame..) <../t/thorpebilly.html>
- Hillow Hammet (produced by Lelan Rogers and recorded at Sounds of 
Memphis Studio in Memphis)
- Crushed Butler
- Iota
- Haystacks Balboa (according to Fuzz, Acid, and Flowers: Real heavy 
dudes with a mean attitude and some wicked guitar - above-par hard rock. 
A couple of tracks on their album were written by Larry West, formerly 
of the legendary Vagrants and younger brother of guitar colossus, Leslie 
'Mountain' West. The album was produced by Shadow Morton)

- La Revolucion de Emiliano Zapata
- Horse
- Buffalo

It's too bad I don't smoke pot anymore- I can just hear the water 
burbling in my old bong!!

Any further suggestions along these lines?
