Steppenwolf
Comment:
With a voice that snapped and growled like the wolf of the steppes for which his band was named, Steppenwolf leader John Kay blasted out of the speakers like a Harley at full throttle. At a time when letting your freak flag fly was the counterculture's national sport, songs like "Born To Be Wild" and "Magic Carpet Ride" psychedelicized the airwaves with a denim-and-leather-clad call to let freedom rumble. No wonder Peter Fonda chose "Born To Be Wild" as the music to run under the credits of [i]Easy Rider[/i], the film that enshrined '60s hippie outlaw philosophy in Technicolor®. The original group disbanded in 1972 — oddly enough on what was proclaimed by then-Los Angeles mayor Sam Yorty as "Steppenwolf Day" — but they still howl in all their digitally remastered glory, right here.
