448. Quicksilver Messenger Service

Episode 448 is QUICKSILVER MESSENGER SERVICE, one of the bands from the San Francisco scene alongside the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane and Moby Grape. They had a couple minor radio hits but offer less than those bands. In fact, as I listen to more of the Greatest Era of Music (1965-69), I’ve soured on the San Francisco Sound. Too much noodling and despite the label it’s not actually psychedelic. 

Favorite album: Quicksilver Messenger Service

Favorite song: Pride of Man

Compared to expectations: ↓

Recommendation: avoid, unless you’re interested in who was smoking grass with Airplane
