One of my favourite rock sub genres. I have way too many good bands to list right now

**Harry Lime** · May 15, 2008, 02:46 PM

Now this is my kind of thread! I love all kinds of psychedelia, the music, films, design, anything from this period but in my view the '65-'70 period was the greatest era for music of nearly all types. Just wish I'd been born 15 years earlier then I would have experienced it in my prime & not as very vague childhood memories as now

The 13th Floor Elevators kick much ass.

I wish I was born 40 years earlier...

@ Iustinianos, you just reminded me I forgot to put Barrett-era Floyd in my first post...

My favourite is 'See Emily Play'

I must recommend White Noise (check the first post) for something similar.

**Erebus Pasha** · May 15, 2008, 03:50 PM

I like Candy and a Currant Bun and Vegetable Man - Barrett getting wacky with the studio effects.

I like Barrett era Floyd but I'm more of a Garage man myself - stuff like the Elevators, the Electric Prunes etc. I'm also partial to a bit of British Freakbeat like The Eyes and Creation.

**God** · May 15, 2008, 04:45 PM

Suppose so.

Hendrix is great too, of course. Best guitarist evah.

Depends how much I like your opinions.

Such a loss of talent in the '70's. Tragic.

Heresy. That didn't happen until the 80's.

**Rush Limbaugh** · May 16, 2008, 10:05 AM

Lets not leave out the originators

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby (1966)

The Beatles - Strawberry Fields Forever (colour)

No, but it's still enjoyable.

**IMPERATOR_5** · May 17, 2008, 05:45 AM

Jugband Blues

Arnold Layne

And I recently posted "Interstellar Overdrive" (one of my favorites) in the "I'm currently listening to" thread
But the 2 parts Iustinianos posted are really good. Going up to almost 17 minutes

@ Iustinianos:

Amen to that brother. Love The Floyd from start to finish. They were brilliant for psychedelia up until Barrett left, as for afterwards I liked Atom Heart Mother but Ummagumma was terrible with the exception of Grantchester Meadows.

Barrett's own stuff is epic too, particularly 'The Madcap Laughs'.

**Rush Limbaugh** · May 16, 2008, 11:59 AM

Early Floyd and acid go together like peaches and cream.

I disagree. Ummagumma was terrible with the exception of "Careful with that Axe, Eugene".

Rush: How could you leave out the Beatles first and most psychedelic track, "Tomorrow Never Knows"?

Not to mention other jems from Revolver: "She Said She Said" and "I'm Only Sleeping"
