The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band - Canyons Of Your Mind (1969)

The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band (also known as The Bonzo Dog Band & sometimes just “The Bonzos” for short) was created by a group of British art-school students in the 1960s. Combining elements of music hall, trad jazz and psychedelic pop with surreal humour and avant-garde art, the Bonzos came to the public attention through a 1968 ITV comedy show, Do Not Adjust Your Set.

Best band made up of various art students. But that would arguably wake it worst as well. But this proves not all 60's stuff was great!
