The Seeds - Discography

At the same day Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett died, also died one of the key figures in the underground of rock n' roll of all times: Mr. Sky Saxon, vocalist and leader of The Seeds.

The Seeds is one of the most cherished (and obscure) bands of the 60's garagerock movement. They are mainly known by their two hits: Can't Seem to Make You Mine(that the Ramones covered) and Pushin' Too Hard(one of the friggin best rock songs of all times).

At first sight, they might seem a bit repetitive or amateurish, but if you turn your volume loud enough and, to quote one of their songs, "let yourself go": you'll understand why Jesvs Cristvs has such a special love for this band.

They released 3 main studio albuns. Two rough-and-straight garagerock records in 1966 and a hilarious attempt of sounding psychedelic(that i'm-not-sure-how worked!) in 1967.

1966 - The Seeds
Highlights: Pushin' Too Hard, No Escape and Evil Hoodoo. The three songs are basically the same but they all rock hard enough to transcend plagium. Can't Seem to Make you Mine is great too.

1966 - Web of Sound
Definitely the stupendou Up In Her Room, a 14-minute jam with ONE CHORD. Marvelous, one of my favourite songs ever.



1967 - Future

Flower Lady and Her Assistance and Fallin'. It's hilarious how they try to sound psychedelic but end sounding so amateurish that the record turns out to be great.
