From DJPOPPOP6. Various Artists - Easy Rider (1969): A near-perfect time capsule of the late-'60s counterculture and FM rock, Easy Rider reached #6 on the Billboard album chart and eventually went multi-platinum. With Steppenwolf's "Born to Be Wild" leading the charge alongside tracks from The Byrds, Jimi Hendrix and others, the soundtrack helped define not just the movie, but an entire era. *Again...unfortunately, there are a few tracks Spotify has blacked out. The Holy Modal Rounders - "If You Want To Be a Bird (Bird Song)" The Electric Prunes - "Kyrie Ellison Mardi Gras" Roger McGuinn - "It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)" Roger McGuinn - "Ballad of Easy Rider" There's still almost an entire double album track list available to enjoy.
