JerseyMike Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Can't talk about pysch rock without talking about the Moody Blues. Some of thier stuff is alright. Also no mention of The Byrds "Fifth Dimension" or at least "Eight Miles High", which marked a popular shift towards pysh. My favorite is The Grateful Deads "Aoxomoxoa".

howdjadoo Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 How could I almost forget one of my fav bands ever:BEGINNING OF S.F. ROCK SCENE Nevertheless, the Charlatans spent a brief but shining moment at Olympian heights atop the nascent San Francisco rock scene, headlining the first acid rock dance at Longshoreman's Hall, billed above the Jefferson Airplane, which was also making its first concert appearance. But the Charlatans, by virtue of their residency that summer at the fabled Red Dog Saloon in Virginia City, Nev., were the stars of the show that night in September 1965 that marked the beginning of the San Francisco rock scene. Although the group came apart at the seams and finally dissolved two years later, the musicians reunited eight years ago in a successful legal battle to reclaim ownership of the various tapes the Charlatans recorded. By coincidence, the release of "The Amazing Charlatans,'' a 23-song British CD combining tapes from three sources (including an unreleased 1966 album), coincides with the debut of a documentary film by Mary Works, the 29-year-old daughter of a couple who worked at the Red Dog Saloon 30 years ago. The Charlatans served as house band at the silver rush dance hall, renovated by a bunch of crazed hippies playing cowboys and Indians while high on LSD in the Sierra Nevada ghost town. In Works' engaging, affectionate film, the Charlatans emerge as the centerpiece of a wild and wacky little community, full of characters whose eyes still gleam as they recall the glories of summer 1965.

Have you seen this documentary? "Rockin' at the Red Dog." I have it on my Netflix queue, and I'm dying to see it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LouieB Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 It is truly a shame that the Charlatans never recorded a proper album during their heyday. It would have been a classic. Instead they ended up a musical footnote. Meanwhile the Dead, the Airplane and Quicksilver, among others, when on to fame and fortune. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 'psychedelic rock' is the most abused tag ever applied to music...so much so that it's almost meaningless. however, i will trot out a few of my favorite records which could either induce a different state, or sound really good while under the influence of something psychoactive... Boredoms - Vision Creation NewsunButthole Surfers - Psychic...Powerless...Another Man's SacCharalambides - Historic 6th WardDungen - Ta Det LungtFlying Saucer Attack - Rural PsychedeliaSun Dial - Other Way OutEspers - Espers IIComets on Fire - Blue CathedralReligious Knives - ResinSpacemen 3 - The Perfect PrescriptionAbunai - Round WoundBardo Pond - AmanitaDead Meadow - FeathersAnnexus Quam - OsmoseMarble Sheep - The Gate of a Heavenly BodyMorgen - self-titledGerman Oak - self-titledSunburned hand of the man - Manhunt in DThe Wellwater Conspiracy - Brotherhood of Electric: Operational Directives there's a ton of great krautrock which could qualify as 'psychedelic' too (i listed a couple).

Mr. Heartbreak Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Since the definition of psychedelic is getting considerably stretched in this thread, I think you could make an argument for some albums by Gong, too, especially: Camembert ElectriqueFlying Teapot (Radio Gnome Invisible, Pt. 1)Angel's Egg (Radio Gnome Invisible, Pt. 2)You Quote Link to post Share on other sites
