Psychedelic rock

Alright, so let's talk about arguably the most mind-blowing genre for the lucky toker...what are your favourite bands, songs, etc.?

I've always been partial to Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane (check out the avatar), early Pink Floyd (when they had Syd Barrett), Cream, the Doors, late Beatles, Country Joe and the Fish, Love, the Byrds, the Grateful Dead, etc.

Grails is probably my favorite band to listen to when I'm high.

MySpace.com - GRAILS - Portland, Oregon - Soul - www.myspace.com/grailsongs

Check out the song Take Refuge.

You should also check out Electric Wizard and Leather Nun.

Been meaning to listen to some Trower for awhile; thanks. Somebody to Love's a fantastic song, true enough...I just really, really wish more of their songs were in the public consciousness than just that and White Rabbit. I can pretty much guarantee a lot of the stoners on here would get a huge kick out of Good Shepherd, Wooden Ships, ReJoyce, etc. Bless Its Pointed Little Head is one of the greatest live albums I've ever heard, too...every bit as good as the Who live, I'd say.

Wow, this is disappointing...some thread on electronica or 50 Cent would have yielded much more replies, I'm sure.

My favorite has always been CSNY when I'm just sitting around being mellow. But I really love any of the southern rock,Allman,Lynrd,Outlaws.Blackfoot. So much good stuff from the 60's and 70's.

Listen to Dr Dog. They're a great band from philly. Their album we all belong is especially good and fate has some great songs too. Songs I suggest you check out: The old days, the ark, army of ancients, alaska, way the lazy do, worst trip, my old ways. Many more good songs too. I think they sound like the modern day beatles. â??

That's because "psychedelic rock" is so limited as a definition and is dead as a genre. No one can make true psychedelic (acid rock is a better term) anymore. Besides refering to simply acid-rock bands, you limit the replies because psychedelic music covers other genres like stoner rock, shoegaze, lo-fi, post-rock, trip-hop etc.

Grateful Dead.. Any good Soundboard tapes from 69-74.. The Darkstars and Jams from these years are varied and some incredible versions... Live Dead is the best store bought example from that era...IMO this is some of the most underappreciated psychedelic rock.. Too much of the commercial crap is what people think Psychedelic Rock(Acid Rock) is ... Two cents.. Peace .dlj
