Most psychedelic bands?

 
  • Oldschool psytrance goes all the way.

    there is nothing more psychedelic than dancing with hundreds of other crazy people.

    Peace, my friends!

    I would consider the Smashing Pumpkins as psychedelic to some degree. Definitely good stuff to "lose your mind" to x)

    No wonder I got into them!

    shpongle
    infected mushroom
    menog
    benza
    transdriver
    astrix
    miraculix
    abra cadabra

    70's German Psychedelia/Krautrock

    early Tangerine Dream (everything up thru "Ricochet" (1975) to me classifies as "Psychedelic" for sure)
    Ash Ra Tempel
    Can
    Amon Duul/Amon Duul 2
    and a whole host of lesser known bands from this era (Brainticket, Cluster, Harmonia, etc.)

    Didn't see Hawkwind anywhere :O

  • ... yes Hawkwind off course
    and also Cosmic Jokers
    and Ash Ra Tempel' 1° LP, Amboss is one of the most psych-out song ever!
    After Bathing At Baxter's is, maybe, the most Psychedelic Album, strictly speaking, of its time...

  • can't believe no one has mentioned black moth super rainbow!

    and as far as classic psychedelic rock goes, it makes me sad that no one has mentioned the moody blues, prolly my fav 60s group.

  • For me it's Tool and Pink Floyd.

    I don't want it, I just need it, to breath, to feel, to know am alive !
  • Cocteau Twins in Lullabies, and in one or two songs of Tiny Dynamine / Echoes in a Shallow Bay.

    1rst song of a Manfred Mann's Earth Band.

    Siouxsie & Creatures 1981 to 1987.

    Mamba Percussions (although it is mainly rythm).

    Los Chichos : el Vaquilla, and Sangre Gitana.

    Lincoln Street Exit.

    John 5, the G3.

    Ayreon in "Into the Electric Castle".

    Summoning.

    Les Rita Mitsouko.

    Do you know Lemur Voice ? Some pieces interesting.

    lactophobia, whom I discovered straight recently.

    1rst Nico (Chelsea Girls), although it seems absolutely "flat" unplugged, there is a subtleness lying inside. The Marble Index, maybe the Peel Session, and Camera Obscura.

    1rst Pink Floyd (Relics, and other titles fit with other tracklists from same year).

    Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream, Peter Baumann, Edgar Froese.

    Section 25 in The Key of Dreams.

    Modern English at their very early beginning, with their strange "garage cold wave".

    Martin Rev, Alan Vega.

    Midnight Oil in Bird Noises, Species Decies, Head Injuries. (Places Without a Postcard and 10,9,8,7,6,5,4 etc are surely too rock-variety to be fully psy, although strongly imaginative for an apparently simple rockband).

    Fleetwood Mac in the live when the drummer becomes a mad human-drum and sketches the scene with big open eyes during whole minutes of astonishment.

    Is 1966 (Bowie) a psy album ? Then the Isabelle Adjani's one would be, and of course the Gainsbourg's LP with "Qui est in, qui est out", and the whole period of "Bonnie and Clyde", "L'Histoire de Melody Nelson", "L'homme à la tête de chou", etc.

    This French woman with no hair always howling like these ones paid to cry and howl in the roman empire after someone's death : I never can remember her name, for her music makes me run away - except "Le Monde est Noir" : 70s cold wave with tribal obsessive rythm.

    Another French, more happy mooded : François Béranger. (Song Paris Lumière for instance). Necessary to translate lyrics, but the quiet - though epic - rock with funny deep voice are enough to give an idea of French 60s / 70s pre-punk ambient anarchism.

    Many others.

  • mann, pink floyd indeed.

  • Early Floyd

  • Thinking about best psychedelic bands, to me there is a big difference between:

    1) Bands that are able to shift your mind to a psychedelic state of mind even if you are sober. But I would never listen to them when high on LSD :-) Those band could are for me especially TOOL - Lateralus and Aenima , Pink Floyd - mostly their early albums, some albums by Radiohead - Kid A and Amnesiac and from the realm of electronic music it could be Denmark's Trentemøller. I would also mention our band Theoretic Therapies, at least some of our long tracks/compositions. And these bands are truly psychedelic. So this first point is the answer to the question.

    But there are also-
    2) Bands/Artists that are great to listen even high on a serious trips on LSD and that have certain calming and embracing qualities. From acid jazz - great was Erik Truffaz-Arkhangelsk. Electronic Gui Boratto. Acoustic band Balmorhea. And very nice and chilling effects on LSD ming has Morcheeba-Charango. Also Bonobo with his "unproblematic" music can be easily listened when high. I also had very special experience with Blade runner OST by Vangelis.

    Beside You in Time.

    Massive Attack's Mezzanine and Tricky's Nearly God are close to the genre

    By the way, I don't get why the Beatles are considered to be psychedelic.





  • Acid Mothers Temple for sure, those who haven't heard that band are really missing something good. There are a couple of tracks that are quite simply mind-boggling (Blue Velvet Blues & Dark Star Blues). Neu's second album "Neu 2" has also a few goodies, try this... trippy as fuck!


  • These are my favorite of what I consider psychedelic music.

    Tool: 10,000 Days, Schism, Third Eye
    Massive Attack: Angel, Butterfly Caught, Dissolved Girl
    The Doors: The End, Riders on the Storm, Spanish Caravan
    Isis: Wills Dissolve, Garden of Light, Holy Tears
    Mastodon: The Last Baron, The Czar, Divinations
    Fever Ray: If I Had A Heart, Concrete Walls, Coconut
    The Mars Volta: Televators, Eriataka, With Twilight as My Guide
    Radiohead: Creep, Up the Ladder, Jigsaw Falling Into Place
    Pink Floyd: Comfortably Numb, Time, One of these Days
    Shpongle: Divine Moments of Truth, Around the World in a Tea Daze, No Turn Un-Stoned


    There's a lot more, but I'll leave it at that.
