"Vibrations bounce in no direction/And lie there shattered into fragments."
Just a song that came to mind today. It looked great on "Ed Sullivan," but the single version is sweeter. Here, I found it on Spotify and made a playlist based on it:

Ooh nice mix. Along Comes Mary was the only Assn song I liked and it's never played enough.
Great harmony — all faked in this one — with great voices — Mama Cass could really belt it out — and the most beautiful face in that era of pop music, Michelle Phillips.
"Twelve Thirty" is my favorite Mamas & Papas song, because it has the nicest harmonies and the best interplay between the lyrics and the background music. My second-favorite is their little-known version of "My Heart Stood Still."
Sixties. Groovy.
Excellent playlist. My fave M&P song and version of “out of time”. Although it came out in 1975, there was a superb live version of “Goin’ Back” done by Nils Lofgren (on piano) & band.

The recorded version is just a little two fast. I like this live version better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqDfi7HfxdM
I have never heard this song. Nice.
Not one I knew--very fine pop singing, and that band was rocking underneath. I wonder who they were?
I bet someone here knows!
Ha! I was just playing this song yesterday, thinking back to a few weeks ago when my wife and I were driving up Laurel Canyon Road!
Ah, and young girls are still going to the canyon. I have seen them.
Althouse. Check out Legacy of the Canyon on Spotify
Nice list.
"Althouse. Check out Legacy of the Canyon on Spotify"
Thanks. I did. It's not ideal for me because it's got a lot of Jackson Brown and The Eagles. Carly Simon. America. I've got better playlists with the artists on there that I do like — The Byrds, The Mamas and the Papas, The Monkees, James Taylor.
I really don't care that people were located in "the canyon." I care about where it appeared on my personal emotional landscape when I first heard it on the radio. That is, I'm interested in "the legacy of Packanack Lake."
And "the legacy of East Quad."
Prof has emotional memories and associations for particular songs, as do a lot of people apparently.
For all my love of music I don't. I can't think of anything, even among my favorites, that triggers anything more than a vague sense of time and place without much specificity.
Of course I can recall the first time I heard some of them clearly, but I don't think of Beethoven's Choral Fantasy as the legacy of being in Chapel Hill to be a groomsman in a wedding.
I just love the Mamas and the Papas. Nothing else like them.
"a lot of Jackson Brown and The Eagles. Carly Simon. America." Jackson Browne made 3 or 4 good records, then a lot of mediocre ones. He's done some good ones recently, though. I used to like the early Eagles recs, always hated the last two, now hate them all because they've had such a negative influence on country music. Also, repeat exposure to their songs makes their weaknesses apparent. Carly Simon...never got her. What was America even doing in that show? I like "Ventura Highway," though.
