Description
"Turn on tune in, drop out" That was the anthem of the mid 1960s Flower Power generation.

Groups such as Curved Air, Caravan, Gong, Yes and Genesis will be featured. Each session will devote to one group. IF you remember it the first time around come back for a nostalgia encore. If you don’t, come anyway and experience some original and thrilling music. Some musical analysis will be undertaken.

ROTF,
I'm sure you could make valuable contributions for the first nine weeks
I wonder what examples they will play for each band? Any suggestions?
It would be good if the lecturer delivered the subject in the style of Paul Whitehouse
A music curriculum (i.e. 1000 Years of Popular Music) in this format could transform the education system in this country. I would end every lesson with a piece of music, like...
Maths - Hendrix; if six was nine or Kate; Pi

If I ranked then in order I liked them and I may change tomorrow then
01: The Incredible String Band
02: Emerson Lake and Palmer
03: Caravan
04: Hatfield and the North
05: Gong
06: King Crimson
07: Curved Air
08: Henry Cow
09: Yes
10: Genesis
Though I could listen to any of the first 8 ad infinitum. I'd replace the last two with Colosseum and Barclay James Harvest.
I haven't got a beard, but Mrs R did knit my jumper
Isn't Lets Be Avenue where Delia Smith lives in Norwich?
