I love Psychedelic Rock and Roll. I just do. Use this thread to talk about psych groups from the 60's and beyond. Famous ones like The Beatles, The Byrds, Donovan and The Zombies as well as lesser known ones like Spirit, Tomorrow, The Smoke and Love . You can even speak about groups from later on who were influenced by the movement like Neutral Milk Hotel, Nirvana and Tool. Progressive groups like King Crimson and Jethro Tull are acceptable too (as the prog rock movement was partly spawned from the psych movement).

Sorry. Messed up the poll a little. It should say "rock?" at end.

Why?

to me those songs just didn't flow right kinda like a crappy Frank Zappa song I heard the other day. (before you accuse me of hating on Zappa, understand that that one song really did suck :( )

Heck yeah, I love pyschadelic rock. I'm probably the only Rolling Stones fan who enjoys Their Satanic Majesties Request.

My favorite pychedelia bands are probably The Doors, Jefferson Airplane and Pink Floyd. Also, The Beatles had some great pyschadelic material and even Zeppelin dabbled in it. Hendrix is up there, too.

I can't remember, it was on the radio and you know how bad the radio is on telling what they're playing.

I really liked some of it. In Another Land was pretty great. I felt it only suffered from lax production on a few tracks.

I agree that some songs lack, but the album as a whole is qyuite good and IMO underrated. I remeber there was this one song, I forget what it's called, it was that really long one, kind of creeped me out. The album as a whole kind of creeped me out. My favorite track is probably "She's A Rainbow".

Nice to know other people like it.

The Doors, Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin (Houses Of The Holy has some pretty psychadelic tracks), and Hendrix are all amazing.

Yeah Flaming Lips would be. Didn't they have an album called "Punks taking acid" or something?

My band is trying to start a psychedelic revival of sorts (although don't every song we do). There really are not too many popular psych bands these days. Everyone is playing that emo and hardcore crap.

I'll have to check them out. I'm not sure if I've even heard of them before. Ever heard of The Smoke or The Action or Kaleidoscope? Cool bands.
