From Classic Rock to Progessive to hip hop to today's hot new tunes!

These are the essential psychedelic Animals......

"Winds of Change" includes "San Franciscan Nights" and was released in late 1967. Six months later they released "The Twain Shall Meet", their most psychedelic album. It included "Monterey" and "Sky Pilot." Both are great albums, especially "Twain."

Their next albums found them going back toward the blues but there was still some of the psychedelic sound to be found there. Most notable is "Love Is" from late '68. By mid '69 the group had split with Alan Price going solo and Burdon picking up the Oakland funk group WAR to make two really fine but very different albums "Eric Burdon Declares WAR" and "Black Mans' Burdon", from 1970 and '71, respectively. The only big hit from either of these was "Spill the Wine" from the "War" album. Of course, WAR (the group) went on to become soul/funk giants.

Burdon was/is one of the great characters in the history of British rock/blues. If you ever get a chance to catch him in concert you will have a great time as he still can put on one helluva show.
