Any 60s psych fans here on pfm?
Psychedelia is an area of music I feel I dont have nearly enough of I can pretty much list the lot here, so I obviously aint got enough!
Pink Floyd Piper at the gates of dawn. The definitive UK psych album. Barking mad, searing guitar and great trippy grooves. Everyone has this album, well everyone should have this album
Electric Prunes Ive got Underground, Too much to dream and Mass in F minor. Along with the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band the Electric Prunes pretty much are US psych. Superb hallucinogenic tunes with searing trebly guitar.
West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band Ive got Vol 1, Vol 2 and A childs guide to good and evil. This lot are probably my favourites of this genre, their music seems to be just that little more unhinged and bends virtually everything that can be bent. The can knock out amazing pop songs too.
Vanilla Fudge Ive got the self titled first LP and just won mono originals of The beat goes on and Renaissance on eBay today Judging by the first LP they are in a slightly different place to the above, producing mainly long sprawling B3 infested cover versions. The first album has an amazing version of The Supremes You keep me hanging on totally tripped out acid rock.
Jefferson Airplane Surrealistic Pillow. The other psych popular classic along with Piper. Someone has a totally cack-handed dance version of Need someone to love in the charts at the moment.
MC5 'Kick out the jams' is this psych? Possibly, its bloody good anyway. A live 60s freak out, and a definitive example of same.
The Beatles I don't really see 'Sgt Pepper' as a psych LP regardless what the rest of the world says. It's a good album, it just isn't psych, well not the way the others I've listed are. 'Tomorrow never knows' off Revolver is for sure, and you can make a great case for 'I am the walrus' and 'Strawberry Fields' but thats pretty much it IMHO Beatles wise.
Anyone care to add to the list?
Tony.
