Top 5 British Psych-Pop Tracks
Good friend of the blog and show, Mick Capewell of Marmalade Skies, is having a poll:
Hi all, MS has been a bit dead this year because I've been a bit too busy with the Radio thing, and also not feeling too well, but how about we get things moving again with a good old Poll? But this year we
won't have a HOPS Poll. Instead let's have a special poll in which we discover what is your favourite British Psych Pop Song.
The poll is open now, so please send your votes to me at mickcapewell@yahoo.co.uk The
poll closes at midnight 30th November 2010, so plenty of time for you to think about your nominations. (Oh, and just so we don't end up with long, heated debates about which songs qualify for the poll...well... Psychedelia, Psych-Pop, Pop-Sike, Freakbeat, Sunshine Pop, Toytown etc...it's all good, and if YOU think that a song qualifies then vote for it. (Same applies to the 'Is it British' question in cases such as the JH Experience)) Any era, any length, anything you like. I look forward to receiving your votes.
Cheers
MC

On re-reading that, Mick's Sunday show (19:00 GMT) is titled "The Lighthouse", but wearing of Rose Coloured Glasses will be of great benefit, if not essential.
Hi Everyone. Can't wait to hear the results of the Top 30 British Psychedelia Pop Song Poll, being broadcast by my good friend and colleague Mick Capewell on his Rose Coloured Glasses show on Sunday 12 December 2010. To listen in, goto http://www.radiocabin.co.uk at 19:00 GMT (which I make 13:00 Central standard Time, but do check, won't you) and click on "Listen Online". Mick plans to play the top 30, and a selection of other candidates. Three hours of magic.
Can't wait to listen in on Sunday 12th Don't even care if none of my selections feature as there's bound to be some superb audio fayre to grace the Sennheisers.
Great stuff valis and Mick,
Looking forward to what will be an outstanding 3 hours of audio. It'll be a belter....

THANKS, to everyone who took the time to bend their mind on this. Tough to choose just five from what seems a staggering amount of great tracks when you start thinking about it. The following is from Mick Capewell:
Poll is now closed!
Thanks to everyone who sent their votes. Interesting results :-)
What I'm planning to do is broadcast the results LIVE on one of my
globe-spanning internet radio shows :-) It'll probably be on the SUNDAY, 12th
DECEMBER edition of my 3 hour show, The Lighthouse, between 7 and 10pm at:
http://www.radiocabin.co.uk
Hundreds of songs received at least one point but I think I'll end up running
down the Top 30 and, depending on time, I'll also play some of the tracks that
were picked as Top Choices by individual voters but which didn't receive enough
(or any!) support from other people to make the Top 30.
After the show's done, I'll obviously put the results up onto MS.
That's the plan anyway. If it changes I'll let you know.
Cheers

1. Armenia City in the Sky -- The Who
2. Hold On -- Les Fleur de Lys
3. Psych Out -- The Seers
4. Supersonic -- Oasis
5. She's So High -- Blur

This will be different this time next year, I suspect. You know how fluid these things are, and also how capricious the human mind is, Valis, old chap.

Hi Valis (& Mike)
I love a good poll, incidental as they may be for they're all subjective after all, what constitutes a great tune is all, 'in the ear of the beholder.' I decided not to spend too much time on this poll and have gone with the first 5 tracks that sprung to mind, so here goes but in no particular order of preference:
1) The Pretty Things - Old Man Going
2) The Aliens - Billy Jack
3) Primal Scream - Trip Inside This House
4) Please - Strangeways
5) The Orange Machine - Real Life Permanent Dream (An Irisn band I realise, hailing from Dublin but figured we weren't gonna be too pedantic here)
I look forward to seeing what other fans of psychedelic sounds come up with.
Love & Rockets,
Cliff.
