Hi Like Ra.
"Agree, but on the other hand, it can be easily confused with and hidden by other stuff from the late 60's. Nothing "stands out". It can be used as a tutorial how to play "that music" with "just a little bit of frills" So, I wouldn't listen to it again, unless I'm an advanced learning musician or a bass-guitar beginner. Or did I miss anything? Again, I'm not a musician and I can easily overlook or underappreciate something. It's like I can't appreciate Ringo Starr, but I've heard from other drummers, that he's brilliant in letting others do what they need."
I am not able to say you missed a thing. You have your tastes which reflect what you like ,which as the most members here are far and above the "Normals". A simple has that you like what you like and no excuses needed unless such involves drowning puppies, pulling wings off butterflies are other debased behavior. I simply liked that music time as most groups had (as now) that simple beat with limited imagination involving a "hook" designed to make one want to listen again and again particularly on the AM side as that generated income vial commercials. As to Ringo, he was considered the best drummer in London at the time as he could play just about any style. He was not outstanding though his versatility was often underappreciated and overlooked, certainly by me at the time. I never took to the group until many turns later. I also never got into the Stones as they really were simple in music structure. A few songs appeal, "Angie" being one but I never understood their popularity. I still get flak from contemporaries about my love of the psychedelic prog rock I listen to as it is deemed "too old" for someone of my years. I ask them how much they paid to see the Stones on the last trip through Detroit and they replied that it was more in some cases then I make in several weeks, all to see some old guys that in some cases were about one half inch high on stage due to the distances involved, a lot like Woodstock was where there was no food, sanitation and was muddy, muggy and crowded. The musicians were specs on a stage a long way off. Glad I left early but not home before my mom which got me grounded for the rest of summer. An eternity when you are 17. Naw, I* still like that "old" stuff and at stiff volumes now that in dash sonics have become affordable and I am able to make my own CD collections.
