"Pushin' Too Hard" #36 2/25/1967

The only Top 40 record for the Seeds, a Southern California band that was credited with coining the term "flower power." This was a simple two-chord tune that helped bring about the punk rock movement of the 70's and 80's, although it could be considered more 60's acid rock or garage rock than anything else. One of those records that became far more popular in later years than at the time it was released. Lead singer Sky Saxon was a rather intriguing dude. Google him sometime.

With a name like The Seeds one could credit them with SOWING the term "flower power".
