You've probably heard a couple of their hit songs but I'm guessing you might not be super familiar with them.
My two favorites below, both from the same album (in 1968). Both are best appreciated with the volume up really loud.
This first one was an medium-sized hit. The outro is fantastic!
This next song was only a very minor hit but it's completely beyond me why it wasn't a HUGE hit. The chorus/bridge/chorus is nothing short of spectacular. They could teach entire classes on music theory just from this song.

These next 2 songs are, in my opinion, two of the coolest songs ever written. As in, they exude a vibe of absolute coolness.

She was a real cutie, too - something I didn't find out until a few years ago.

Hello, thank you very much!!
I had never heard any song you've posted, except Sunshine Superman by Donovan. Lol that's a catchy one, and a very
cool song. By the way, Jimmy Page played in that record, right? Cause I knew the song before because of that.
