Favorite Psychedelic Band?

[Pow R. Toc H.]

My personal favorite is Country Joe and The Fish, what about you?

[chimx]

Not really into the genre proper, but am a fan of psychedelic influenced acts like Green Milk from the Plant Orange and Turing Machine.

Does Pink Floyd count??

[BreadBros]

Favorite: Hendrix, of course. Cream, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Santana, Grateful Dead, Hawkwind, Jefferson Airplane, Pink Floyd, I find Tangerine Dream pretty trippy, I also did The Electronic Hole and Stained Glass, two more obscure SF bands. More modern, "Aquemini" is definitely THE psychedelic-hip-hop album.

[Hit The North]

Have to admit that there's nothing more intrinsically psychedelic than Hendrix in full flow.

Favourite psychedelic album, though, is Floyd's 'Piper At The Gates Of Dawn'. To think they recorded it next door to the Beatles who were recording Sgt Pepper kills me - cos it blows that over-rated album out of the water.

Having said that, my favourite psychedelic track is 'Tomorrow Never Knows' off Revolver.

Really like the bubble-gum psychedelia of Apples In Stereo, too.

BTW, for some really cool 'souledelia', the first side of 'Psychedelic Shack' by The Temptations is the business end of a good trip.

[manic expression]

Hendrix.

As if the guitar work wasn't enough, the drummer in that band one of the better I've heard.

[Leo]

Absolutely fucking Pink Floyd!

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

the best psychedelic rock band also happens to be the best band ever: The Beatles

also good... Jimi Hendrix, the VU, Cream, doors, the dead, pink floyd, jefferson airplane, the stones, love

I'm no big stones fan, but their satanic majesties request is one of the best psychedelic albums
I highly recomend it

also if you dig Brazilian music, please check out Os Mutantes
amazing psychedelic tropicalia

Nobody has mentioned the 13th Floor Elevators, they were pretty kickass as were the Quicksilver Messenger Service. I personally really only like Piper At the Gates of Dawn and Momentary Lapse of Reason by Floyd. You of course can't forget the Dead and the Doors and, ahh, there's too many to name.

Edit: I forgot Yes.

[redcannon]

anybody mention Radiohead? next time you toke up, put on Ok Computer, you'll see what i mean

[Pow R. Toc H.]

Radiohead is ok. I like all the bands pretty much. I was listening to The Smoke and Bob Dylan and the Band today too.

[Free Leonard Peltier]

The Doors, and Jefferson Airplane.

I only like a handful of songs from Jefferson 'Starship', since the name change. Seems like their style turned around afterwards.

(1) Yes were easily a prog band and were not part of the psychedelic movement. It's important to make a distinction. Prog and psychedelic are not the same thing. (2) Momentary Lapse of Reason is like the lamest floyd album. It has all the cheesiness of Gilmour and none of the songwriting genius of Waters.

[Fawkes]

Yes was the bridge between psych and prog. Hardly anyone else except me likes Momentary Lapse of Reason. I love the instrumentation on it, but I was never a fan of Gilmour.

[Pow R. Toc H.]

I've always loved Gilmour and I think he is still a pretty good guitar player.

Yeah, but Floyd were at the best before he joined.

After Syd left that was the end of their psychedelic phase.

[Pawn Power]

Usually i'll listen to Hendrix and The Beatles

[iffandonlyiff]

Does anyone else like Gong?

I love "The Pot-Head Pixies" and "Sold to the Highest Buddha".

[Louis Pio]

Captain Beefheart

[Clarksist]

Wow, Pink Floyd is in the second reply. Who would have fucking guessed?

I really like Cake (maybe not technically psychedelic), Oysterhead, and Patrick Wolf's song "Childcatcher".

[La Comédie Noire]

Pink Floyd, thats what I named myself after. Or king crimson although i'm not sure if you can consider them psycadellic or just progressive rock in general. I liked Pink floyd even after Roger waters became a Democratic socialist, a very poor one at that.

I know their self titled album. It's not bad but it gets annoying, Haven't listened to it that much though.


Psychedelia can be a rather "vague" term. I'm not answering to this question.

[SanPatricio'sSoul]

Um...............

Pink Floyd (obviously)
Beatles later stuff
Disco Biscuits
Doors
New Deal (although they border on trance)
Phish got me through many a work day

[Cyanide Suicide]

The Doors.

I love Hendrix, but in a psychedelic sense I think his guitar work (although very innovative) was too abrasive and rough for the most part.

True, but they make me laugh alot when I'm stoned.

Also, did anyone hear that the guy from The Mamas and Papas died? He was the only one still alive I guess.

[powertothepeople]

jefferson airplane

[Kropotkin Has a Posse]

I'd agree with you there, Jefferson Airplane and to a lesser extent Velvet Underground.

[Kia]

Weird alot of these bands listed i dont count as psychadelic...... Anyways, if your looking for something pretty crazy...Try Acid Mothers Temple, theyre a japanese noise/psychadelic music collective thats about as trippy as you can get.
