97) Third Bardo, “Five Years Ahead of My Time”
A-side of their only single (5/67), and the NYC band nailed it. Garage psych at its best. Supposedly pulled off the air because of presumed drug references.
98) Jeff Monn, “I Need a Friend”
Former Third Bardo lead singer Jeff Monn released an incredible album in ’68. Orchestration courtesy of Peter Schickele — the one and only P.D.Q. Bach.
“Don’t need a lover, got too many other.”

’65 single is a searing cover of Marvin Gaye’s song.
Marvin Gaye’s version:
