Who are your Top 10 favourite Psychedelic Rock bands? ..... Do you prefer the uplifting music of the 13th Floor Elevators or would you rather Take Off with Jefferson Airplane and fly up to Eight Miles High with The Byrds. Then again, you could open The Doors of perception and Experience some Strange Daze and Purple Haze with Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix. Or alternatively, maybe you have a taste for the sweet sound of Vanilla Fudge or the heavy Heavy sound of Iron Butterfly. The choice is yours, and while we're on the subject, where did Psychedelic Rock first originate? Was it With The Beatles in merry old England or on the sunny west coast of California, where It's a Beautiful Day every day.

Hi, I have never thought of any of these bands as "psychedelic" despite the appearances and folks thinking that it was cool to look weird and play strange. A lot of the music, was in fact, a lot more intelligent (since it had to make some sense other than things like Winchester Cathedral), than the average music, and it made its point on the new "radio", both in England (the ships out on the sea that the BBC tried hard to sink!), and then right after, the FM radio stations in America that did super well and brought all this out and eventually made history with the newer music up until the Corporate Buyout of the stations around 1980. We still signal that year as the end of a lot of "new music", but no one is strong enough to stand up and curse a record company or two! The Beatles, Edgar Broughton Band, Ramases, Them, The Who, The Yardbirds, The Doors, Spirit and the Zombies, were not stoned out idiots just making hay on the farm. Many of those folks were highly literate in both music and the arts and played like it. Ramases (for example) is more about the 10CC folks meeting a sort of "guru" like person in London ... and their musicianship was already on the way with "Hotlegs" and their famous single. Into the 1970's this is when I fell out of a lot of the main stream bands, because it was all about being stoned and ripped and stupid, appreciating something that was not exactly very good, but had an emotional outlook that made it look better. I don't think (for example) that LZ was psychedelic ... they were too good a bunch of musicians that figured out what they could do in music that few were doing ... they knew Janis, Jimi and later Jim were not just about rock'n'roll ... it was REAL ... and a lot of their music and concerts were REAL ... and exciting at that. BTW, is common knowledge and it is written in many books that the whole "psychedelia" thing around London was more of an upper class show off of their use of the money they had, than it was anything serious ... many writers state that and it is specially visible in the book about Anita Pallenberg! By 1972 and then 1973, I was already getting away from the dope. And in 1974 I went off it completely and took on the European contingent of music that was less about the dope and more about the intelligence of the music, which is what I consider "progressive" ... the dope itself, mostly, makes for very regressive feelings and the music is not that great. I'm a veteran. I quit it long before I became immune to its effects, which are very visible these days!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Not psychedelic? In that case, check out the Edgar Broughton Band in the heavy, acid guitar freak out below. |

Crazy Arthur Brown is best-remembered as a one-hit-wonder, but with a fifty year career and 18 mind-blowing albums to his credit, he is the eternal god of hellfire and he brings you.....
FIRE!! |

I was mainly thinking of the classic late-60's bands, and you don't necessarily have to name ten British bands. You can list your ten favourite psychedelic US bands if you prefer, just as I did. The Beatles may have originally inspired the birth of Psychedelic Rock, but American west coast bands improved upon it by taking the psychedelic ball and running with it to score a slam dunk in the end zone.

Well...a quick list of things....these are bands that are psyschedelic to me but even they didn't always write only 'psych songs'.
No special order...they are all favorites to me. The Move The Pretty Things The Doors Jefferson Airplane 13th Floor Elevators Iron Butterfly Strawberry Alarm Clock Vanilla Fudge Tomorrow Spirit Ultimate Spinach Electric Prunes Chocolate Watch Band Grateful Dead -there are many more obscure bands that did only one lp or just a few tracks on 45....like Open Mind, Creation, Smoke, The Attack, Kaleidoscope, Kak, Tintern Abbey, The Poets, Timebox, Idle Race, Love Sculpture, July, etc. Also 2 neo psych bands I really like, The Bevis Frond and Sun Dial who are well worth cking out. btw...your title was Psych Britannia implying Brit bands...?

No wonder you don't think of anything musically worthwhile as "psychedelic". I don't list these because I think they were stoned idiots, but because I like their music. The wiki article on Psychedelic Rock starts going on with drugs and all that just like you do, but for me as a listener in 2021, this part of the article makes more musically sense to me: Musically, the effects may be represented via novelty studio tricks, electronic or non-Western instrumentation, disjunctive song structures, and extended instrumental segments.Some of the earlier 1960s psychedelic rock musicians were based in folk, jazz, and the blues, while others showcased an explicit Indian classical influence called "raga rock". Btw: I rarely have any clue whether a little 1967-1970 psychrockband band are from the US or UK, but here's a few relevant albums I'd warmly reccomend. I won't bother with the stuff eveeryone already knows (Love, Pink Floyd, Cream, Beatles...): C.A. Quintet - Trip Thru Hell Morgen - St Damnation of Adam Blessing - St. and The Second Damnation Strawberry Alarm Clock - Wake Up...It's Tomorrow Ultimate Spinach - St.Tamam Shud - Goolutionites And The Real People The Red Crayola - The Parable Of Arable Land United States Of America - St Kaleidoscope - St The Music Emporium - St Bit 'A Sweet - Hypnotic 1 Mighty Baby - St Saint Steven - Over the Hills The Spoils Of War - St (archival release) West Coast Workshop - The Wizard Of Oz and Other Trans Love Trips

^ From your excellent list, I have Strawberry Alarm Clock, Ultimate Spinach, Kaleidoscope (US), The Music Emporium and Mighty Baby all on CD.
I was Disbelievin' of some of Moshkito's baffling comments too. Kak - a great American band, despite the unfortunate name. 1969: Kak - Kak-Ola - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mPA97FuZxSxnFFJl50vhVEZfVGrn78Nzo
