Not related to "Weird" Al Yankovic, in case anyone was wondering. Wink

Hey what about really weird Mr Nilovic, a Montenegrin who was playing psychedelic funk & soul in Paris' clubs in the mid-70's and had called his track "Drug Song" (lol, his native Monte Negro is like Balkan Colombia now).

Not related, but in a weird way he is related:

"["Weird" Al] Yankovic's first accordion lesson, which sparked his interest in music, took place on the day before his seventh birthday. A door-to-door salesman traveling through Lynwood offered his parents a choice of accordion or guitar lessons at a local music school. Yankovic claims that his parents chose the accordion over the guitar because "they figured there should be at least one more accordion-playing Yankovic in the world", referring to Frankie Yankovic, to whom he is not related."

P.S. Babaloo, you don't understand English, stick with Serbian. You keep posting non-entities.

No one said psychedelic music disappeared after 1970, it was just no longer popular for a worldwide

audience (not just Srebrenica). And every video you keep posting of disbanded and dead-broke Eastern

European bands proves my point.

^ You do realise that you are spending a considerable effort arguing a minor point that has nothing to do with Pink Floyd?

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Not arguing, just debate.

Well, I have read more than once a falsehood that Psychedelia has ceased to exist in the early 70's. It has been often utilized as an argument in Pink Floyd labeling debates, like "since Psychedelia didn't exist in the 1970s, then neither Pink Floyd were psychedelic in that decade". It's simply not true, thus that fabrication have to be dismissed.

Hadn't you written this on the second page of this thread?

As many of us stated elsewhere, over and over for years, if you were there in 1973 when DSotM was released, no one called it "psychedelic". Psychedelia went out with The Doors, Beatles, Jefferson Airplane and Hendrix.

As a popular music form, it was "out". I am not sure what it is you don't get. Morrison died, but really LA Women was far more blues and jazz based than previous albums. The Beatles on Let It Be and Abbey Road had for all intents and purposes abandoned psych, Jefferson Airplane had disbanded and reformed as Jefferson Starship by 1973 (and Jefferson Starship was not psychedelic), and Hendrix was heading into funk and jazz by the time he died (as evidenced by Band of Gypsys).

And no one referred to Dark Side of the Moon as a psychedelic album back then. It was recognized as a step beyond the old Floyd psych, they had emphatically changed their sound, compositional style and presentation. They had matured as songwriters and composers, and had mastered the studio. And I also said it wasn't referred to as "prog" either, because no one really used the term in 1973. But if there was a definition for Floyd's sound as they moved from DSotM to WYWH to Animals, it is progressive rock, not psychedelic. They had abandoned the "Several Small Species of Furry Animals Huddled in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict" and "Allen's Psychedelic Breakfast" psych juvenility and became serious musicians.

It is evident you are simply too vacant to continue this conversation. I'm out.

Back to the usual carpet bombing approach to posting with zero rationale discussion.

I certainly agree with your point but I do like Several Species and Psychedelic Breakfast a lot.
