Psychedelic Music: What Did You Listen To?

[Loren Booda]

Melancholy memories of San Francisco psychedelia.

Probably the best "trippy" song ever. 1983 (A merman I should turn to be) by Hendrix. "Anyway, you know good and well it would be beyond the will of God - and the grace of the king." Killer song on headphones - maybe the best product of Electric Ladyland. Gotta love the flanging effects on the bells at the end.

...could you recommend some songs by Rush... I've never heard of them..

Oh. My. God.

Is that how we old folks know when it's time to shuffle off this mortal coil? When bands that are an intergral part of our formative years start being 'never heard of'?

Anyway, skip the new stuff :zzz:. What you want is vintage Rush: the whole 2112 album.

I can skip ALL Rush, thanks. Way over-rated.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

You guys had better be careful. I saw G. Gordon Liddy poking around.

Or was that Judge Doom after Roger Rabbit?

Blasphemy!

"NOT Starship " ... too funny :) White rabbit ( Surrealistic Pillow ) is a classic onto itself.
Feed your head !
yep ! All those albums are included in my collection. Good tunes.

Surrealistic Pillow was done when they were J. Airplane. Starship came later - more pop rock than psych or classic rock. Surrealistic Pillow was released in '67, JA disbanded in '73, JS came along in ~'74-75.

I think the Doors' Riders on the Storm is a bit psych - with organ and some of the guitar licks.

More truly psychedelic music Fever Tree - San Francisco Girls. This is what psychedelic music sounded like.

Oh - yeah - classic! That generates flashbacks - er, memories - yeah memories.

Those were the good 'ole days.

I don't know now many of you have heard of them, or listen to them, but the band MGMT has some pretty trippy stuff out there. Currently one of my favorite bands. Essentially the entire 'Oracular Spectacular' album is pretty awesome. Here's a few of my favorites:
Kids - MGMT
Weekend Wars
Time to Pretend

10-4 ---

to me his voice was somewhere between fingernails on a blackboard and a cat fight (between cats, not women)--

That is one of the things that distinguished them from the others.

That is one of the things that distinguished them from the others.

There were a couple of female DJs in the area that adored Rush and over-played them to no end. One reason I grew very sick of them very quickly. After about the 100th time of having to sit through Tom Sawyer, or try to find another radio station that will come in OK in the truck... Their music could make me hit the SEEK button faster than an advertisement. At least the ad wouldn't last for 3+ minutes. Same effect when Axl Rose or Jon Bon Jovi sang. They both have voices like rusty hinges - yuck.

For me, it's Comfortably Numb. I used to like Floyd, but now, if I never hear anything from The Wall again, it will be too soon.

And now I've given up on Q107 Classic Rock altogether. (I've Made Room for the Boom!)

just because they were (are) different, to me, is not a motivation to listen to them----


I agree with turbo----if only there was a automatic setting on radio to change channels when rush came on

There's a woman DJ in my area that drools over rush too----maybe some women like rush because they sound like a crying whining baby which needs their attention and its more of a reaction which stimulates the female hormones...


this, for some reason, got me to think about string theory...

 

[JDStupi]

Well, I don't know the exact criterion for Psychedaelic music, but I do believe that this thread would be lacking if nobody mentioned Miles Davis "Bitches Brew". It is a bit different from the more Classic Rock esque bands being suggested, but I believe it to be fairly trippy music

 

[General_Sax]

That album cover -- for 30 seconds to Mars -- with the young boy on it is very well done.

The music, imo, not so much.

Nice contrast; he looks so young, yet jaded at the same time.

The most exploitative work a la psychedelic...

Well, moi ain't got enough brains to get the YouTube link to work soooooooooooo here's the vids' URLs.

The most exploitative work a la psychedelic



The happiest trippy song

I feel inclined
To blow my mind
Get hung-up feed the ducks with a bun
They all come out
To groove about
Be nice and have fun in the sun



and one you may have never heard




Stay on groovin' safari,
Tor

 

[Tor Hershman]

And here's one you'd want on the turntable as the sun goes down, errrrrrr... I mean - as Earth spins.

 

[Packman]

Psychedelic Music it's Shpongle and Hallucinogen!

[fillipeano]

I like the heavier type of psychedelic music. I guess some people consider it "stoner" metal/sludge metal with some proggy elements. A lot of the influences can be traced back to psych rock
Russian Circles -
Mastodon -
Baroness -
And of course... Tool -

Maybe some Pink Floyd fans will at least...Appreciate Cynic's work.

 

[Adyssa]

Here's a few artists I'd like to recommend, for fans of psychedelic and .. well, I like to call it "interesting music". Genres are hard!

Mountains In The Sky -
Future Sound Of London -
Daedelus -
Amon Tobin -
The Cinematic Orchestra -
Jaga Jazzist -
