Vortex: Your first post was LOADED with good tunes. Having said that, i've got to call you on Thin Lizzy. What about "Jailbreak"??? : )
You're listing of the Easybeats made me think of the band that they became later in life i.e. Flash and the Pan. Remember "Hey, St Peter" ???
The songs i listed in my first post weren't necessarily anything that i would want to listen to ( so i "cheated" too ), but just songs that popped into my mind. Some were quite bad and it's a shame that we remember those sometimes more than the good ones : )
As far as Buscis' question about the Cowsills, weren't they the band that originally performed the song "Hair"??? By the way, this is a GREAT thread and some of the listings have really brought back some memories / great tunes.
Ohlala: Frankie? How about "Two Tribes" and "Relax". No K-Tel's for you : )
Anybody up for some "Funky Cold Medina" by Tone Loc ??? : ) Sean

PS... For some reason, i keep thinking that Norman Greenbaum did both Spirit in the Sky and Eve of Destruction. Without this thread, i wouldn't be giving Barry McGuire the credit he deserves : )
PS... Not only do The Dickies do a jammin version of the Banana Splits theme as mentioned above, they do Eve of Destruction in "hyper-drive". You should hear them do the theme song to the kiddie "robot" show called "Gigantor" too. Those guys know how to have fun. Oh, to be young again.... : )
