Obscure 1960's-70's rock bands

[ZigZagWanderer]

Every Xmas and birthday I get my partner a cd that he normally wouldn't think to get, it's just a way to get to know different bands.
This year I'm running out of ideas.
Any suggestions, his favourite band is Led zeppelin but he also likes quite folky rock too.
Last year I bought Edgar Broughton Band and
he loved it.
He doesn't like music of the noughties,
Help!

White Denim will be after Can.

Good choice

But which Can album?

marking place as this is the sort of thing dh is into and I have no idea what to gget for hhis brithday in 2 weeks.

Legendary Pink Dots? I saw them supporting Arthur Brown a couple of years ago, they put me in mind of Hawkwind.

I'm considering Hawkwind too.
My Dp loves Tim Buckley, not very rocky but good. If anyone has anything along the same lines to recommend...

I would get the Can album Tago Mago to start.

Does he have any Nick Drake? If not, he really, really should- in a similar vein to Tim Buckley, but, well, far better IMO.

There is a film made in 1970 called London Rock which he would enjoy- T Rex, The Faces (does he have any Faces stuff?) and Fairport Convention all feature... can't find it on DVD though. Will have another look.

What does your DH like, dita?

If he likes Edgar Broughton Band, try a bit of brilliance. Not really obscure, but nowhere near as big as they should've been.

Also,

Oooh, good call on The sensational Alex Harvey Band, usual.

Great thank you

I have also ordered Tom Waits, sounds good!

Maybe not 100% what you're looking for but my husband loves loves loves The Eagles!

Any Good? :)

I love Tim Buckley, his voice is wonderful. If he hasn't already got it then you should get him Jackson C Frank's eponymous album, he only released one but he's been covered by loads of artists including Nick Drake and Paul Simon

Aphrodites Child - 666.

Great album!

Must recommend 'Head Down' by Rival Sons - a current band from L.A. who sound a bit like Free, with some motown thrown in, difficult to describe really, but very excellent
