NOC. I knew this one would end up a rout although I think the Bryds deserved to make it in for the 60s Region.

#10 The Byrds

Even though the Byrds violate my rule about too many members, I just don't like the Doors/Jim Morrison.

Maybe Tequila should move to Utah and take on multiple wives. 89 would probably throw a few of his your way man.

I’m disagreeing that the Doors deserve that credit ... they just never have been a band that I’ve been that crazy about

I will listen to Turn, Turn, Turn and Mr Tambourine Man over anything from The Doors

This one, I vote for SMOD.

Shoutout to John and Michelle Phillips for procreating this fine piece of ass.

Which then led me to the nice pic of Josie Bissett who was/is a fine piece of ass as well.

Couldn't name one song by The Byrds, but fuck The Doors. Shit band. Glad the singer died young.

Easily the toughest choice for me yet (outside of Styx vs. AC/DC).

They occupy the same sort of affection in my life. Still, Eight Miles High is one of my favorite all time songs. I have loved the Doors a lot in my time, but on balance I see the genius of the Byrds more as I get older.

And they basically started cuntry rock along with Gram Parson's pervious group, The International Submarine Band.

Great song, the best of the Byrds IMO. Well done, Maserati murderer ... fagoty wink.

The 2 great singles that kick started psychedelic rock were Eight Miles High and Shapes of Things by the Yardbirds. They both beat the Beatles to the punch. Roger McGuin's 12 string Rickenbacker into is based on John Coltrane saxamaphone noodling and some Indian raga type shit. Brilliant.

Chinned for Eight Miles High, but not feeling Shapes of Things. Good song, but not anywhere near the same caliber, or even the best of the Yardbirds.

My favorite Byrds song is "Wasn't Born to Follow" cuz Easy Rider but that's another story.

When you did the thread on alt-cuntry I had to look it up as I didn't have a clue - Parsons is mentioned in wikipedia (yes that is my source) as a founder of it. I was surprised. Love Sweetheart of the Rodeo
