Hey, I don't blame him. All the interesting music of that time was happening in like, Germany or the deep South, the world hadn't yet really cottoned on to the idea of interesting music that's also popular; the Beach Boys probably come closest, until New Order's "Blue Monday".

what are you talking about guy

During the time period this show takes place in, the most interesting music being made was either in Germany (Amon Duul, Can, Neu!, etc) or America's deep South (jazz and blues). The most interesting thing on the radio was the Beach Boys' "Wild Honey", which isn't saying a lot.

You're like a decade off. Wild Honey came out in 1967. So did Smiley Smile, an experimental album that is more sonically adventurous than most popular music at the time. Meanwhile in 1977, Can had already done their most interesting work and were coasting. Neu weren't making music as a group. I never liked Amon Duul, so I don't know what they were up to.
