424. Country Joe & the Fish

This page generously sponsored by: Nobody yet! Sponsor it on Patreon to be the first name on this list!

Best known for being one of the primary protest bands against the Vietnam War, Country Joe McDonald was a voice that rang throughout the American counterculture and may have helped define an era. Maybe that’s the problem as music like that does not have a long shelf life and the music which was so topical then seems to have escaped from a time capsule now. Still, the Monterrey and Woodstock connection may help and if there is a more “left” field candidate than Country Joe and the Fish we can’t come up with them.
