Top 10 Psychedelic Bands

[@mralisauskas121]

[@RedVynil]

Some people think ANYTHING from the `60's is psych no matter how tame it is! A lot of people don't know shit about music genres.

[@williamratcliffe7794]

I agree Nicolas. The MB's were progressive. I am surprised the list didn't include The Cowsills, who had more hits in the psychedelic genre than most of the above mentioned groups combined.

[@RedVynil]

They (Moody Blues) DID at least 3 albums of psych, though, hence the inclusion. I've only found 5 songs by The Cowsills that were psych....and at least 2 of those are dodgy.

[@williamratcliffe7794]

@@RedVynil Moody Blues have been called 'Progressive Rock' from the very beginning. The group only drifted into Psych fleetingly (dodgy as you would call it), but were still called a progressive rock band. Take it from a fan since 1967....

Unvultured Swine Pink Floyd's song Comfortably Numb was on The Wall album, which came out in 1979, years after the Psychedelic era had ended. The Psychedelic Movement was in the late 60's and early 70's. The Syd Barrett days were definitely part of the Psychedelic Movement.

[@UnvulturedSwine]

Angel Deville Yeah, but Comfortably Numb still fits the genre. Hell, the song is about the album's protagonist getting drugged out of his mind.

[@KarmicOmen]

Unvultured Swine Despite the drug reference, the song is about building a wall, isolation, unheard cries for help, and a downward spiral into mental illness.

[@UnvulturedSwine]

Angel Deville And the drugs forced upon him in Comfortably Numb play a large role in Pink's transformation into a fascist dictator that makes up the majority of side 4 of the album.

Pink Floyds the best but The Doors for sure second

[@Urlocallordandsavior]

My list (don't take it too seriously folks): 1 - Jimi Hendrix Experience 2 - The Beatles 3 - The Doors 4 - Jefferson Airplane 5 - Cream 6 - The Moody Blues 7 - Pink Floyd (arguably stopped being psychedelic after '69) 8 - Grateful Dead (don't really know much about them) 9 - 13th Floor Elevators 10 - Tame Impala Seriously, it's a watchmojo video, what did you expect?

[@axemenace6637]

1. Tame Impala 2. Pink Floyd 3. Cream 4. Doors 5. Jimi Hendrix Don't know about the others To me, tame Impala stands out as an artist keeping the psychedelic genre alive. We have more and more tools available to create the best psychedelic music, and Tame Impala uses that to their advantage. I must say, though, that only Innerspeaker and Lonerism were psychedelic albums (which is, to say , that they havent made true psychedelic music since 2012).

The Beatles had to be high when they wrote "I am the walrus"

[@kenwilliams3208]

+Josh Sutton The Beatles were sick of having every one of their songs chopped up, dissected, analyzed, and essentially turned inside out & upside down in an attempt to discover its "real meaning". So they set out to write something so strange, so unusual, and so off the wall, they figured the media would be pre occupied for months. That was how "I Am the Walrus" was born. It was a wickedly exaggerated parody - and it had the desired effect. So it was "here boys, have at this one"!

John Lennon actually said somewhere that I am the walrus was wrote on two acid trips.

There is a whole story behind this song, you should look it up!

[@alejandraerazo7726]

es verdad donde esta "soy la morsa" , es alucinante

[@Guitarmaster7272]

I went through the Pink Floyd Discography. It's like one big acid trip. They started off as like a Beatley sounding band with a lot of weirdness mixed in, this is the beginning of the trip. 2nd and 3rd album get a bit weirder, most parts of the 3rd album seem kinda empty, yet so unique that they made less look like "More". 4th album is like the peak of the trip where the best thing they could come up with is random piano notes, loud organ strikes, animal noises, and a flute introduction to a fucked up drumming ceremony thing. After that is where they have AHM and Meddle, heavily psychedelic yet very acoustic and pleasing. There's a great precursor to the greatest album of all time, Obscured by Clouds, Then once it hits Dark Side, they just explode into a heavily immersive and long trip out where you're having the time of your life and the music is the best it's ever been; The middle of the trip. This trip lasts until The Wall, and after The Wall, it kinda starts to wear off and fizzle out, where their music is very much so still beautiful, but it seems more organized and not as intense. Toward the end they still have that unique touch of Floyd psychedelia, but it's like the trip is over, and the music sounds sober, yet with intense knowledge of a trip, and still remains beautiful. But it's like a gentler beauty that doesn't seem nearly as good as the Dark Side era.

It's hard to believe both of you don't have their best two psychedelic songs on your lists - Atom Heart Mother and Shine On!

Not saying Arnold Layne - See Emily Play - Jugband Blues - Astronomy - Interstellar - Bike aren't good songs - they are - but Strawberry Fields, Tomorrow Never Knows, A Day in The Life, c'mon are you kidding? Those songs not only started the psychedelic era - but near the best songs the era ever produced! Check out - Hawkwind, Faust, Red Crayola, Tangerine Dream, - many others to list - Nektar, Love, Amon Duul, Can, Gong - great psychedelia - but most of them lack the songwriting ability that The Beatles so often displayed.

I would have to disagree with Pink Floyd being the most Psychedelic/most influential Psychedelic band. The majority of their albums are Prog Rock, especially later in their discography. Their early stuff has plenty of Psych Rock/Avant-Garde/Space Rock material, but a lot of that was because of Syd Barrett. Too bad the Velvet Underground didn't even get an honorable mention, but their debut is probably their most Psychedelic record. As for number 1, I would have personally put The Doors, Jimi Hendrix Experience, or the Byrds. Possibly even the Beatles.

I disagree with the notion that The Pink Floyd were ever prog rock. Prog rock is defined by technical virtuousity over feel whereas psych is more based on feeling over technique. Pink Floyd always had more emotion and feel than prog bands whether it was in Water's intense lyrics/delivery or in Gilmour's crying solo's. Neither Gilmour nor Wright ever did the fast, classical-based runs so prevalent in prog.

[@nickfairhead2355]

Captain Beefheart (Safe as Milk), Country Joe and the Fish ( Electric Music For the Mind and Body), The Incredible String Band, The United States of America, Traffic, - all these bands have the one thing that defines psychedelic music - they're great to trip to.
