Probably one for the older posters. I've never listened to much music from this era but the song below appeared in the middle of a Spotify playlist and I think it's great. Any other recommendations from the rock music of this era?
 

Track from The Rock Machine turns you on
1968 compilation album.
Very "West Coast"

I've still got the vinyl. Personal favourites, your choice plus Electric Flag - Killing Floor and The Byrds - Dolphin's Smile.

Can't miss King Crimson's signature tune to take you into the 70s rock. 2nd appearance for Robert Fripp on the board this week.
The guy who designed the album cover was 21 and died before the album was released.

Greg Lake mentioned it at a show he did that is now an album. 'songs of a lifetime':

The guy had never heard the song. It was coincidence.
