Members PFDarkside Posted February 3, 2007 Members Share Posted February 3, 2007 It seems strange to me that being a huge Floyd fan, the only band I listen to that is remotely psychedelic is in fact, the Floyd. I know Astronomy Domine and Interstellar Overdrive always top the charts for "best" and "first" psych songs, but who else should I be aware of? I know I'll get some crazy obscure references from a few of you, I'm trying to start from a broad perspective first, some that I can easily get online... then move on from there.

Members FDZ Posted February 3, 2007 Members Share Posted February 3, 2007 All depends how you define it. I've been plugging these guys a bit on here and in my book there's definitely a big slab of psych in there, so you can have them again.http://www.myspace.com/earthless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sayin ... we forget sometimes that many of the bands we now take for granted as standard rock classics were actually considered psych at one time or other during the 60's ... I was making a point more than anything.Definitely check out the Soft Machine though if you haven't already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Psychedelic Trip Posted February 3, 2007 Members Share Posted February 3, 2007 Here's a few of the band's I listen to: Kaleidoscope UK (the LP 'Tangerine Dream' is amazing) Kaleidoscope US 13th Floor Elevators Chocolate Watchband The Electric Prunes The Soft Machine Strawberry Alarm Clock The Churchill's West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band Quicksilver Messenger Service Jefferson Airplane The Pretty Things Tomorrow The Small Faces (Ogden's Nutgone Flake) The Kinks (Village Green Preservation Society) Love Grateful Dead Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention (Freak Out and We're Only In It For The Money) Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band Donovan (Sunshine Superman) Zombies The Doors The Creation The Purple Gang The Masters Apprentices (the earlier 60's stuff, 'War or Hands of Time' is a great track) The Seeds The Rain Parade Spacemen 3 Brain Jonestown Massacre The Teardrop Explodes Drop City Bubble Puppy The Sonics ....I could go on for ages, I know there's some great band's I've left out. The best way to get into the 60's psych stuff is to pick up the Nuggets collection, the Pebbles series, or the Garage '66 collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
