Nice to see Pharaoh Sanders, electric Miles Davis and Alice Coltrane made the list. There isn't enough appreciation for jazz among psychedelic crowd.


never could get into that garage band stuff. I like my psychedelic music heavily overproduced.

"Electric Ladyland" is a must.

I will agree with all that. Except the middle part. Garage music is great, and the psych stuff is not only better than some jazz noodling stuff- it has more energy and fever to it. I would rather listen to some raw s**t than a 45 minute meandering jazz thing.
No offense to jazz! I love jazz! But I like my music down and dirty!

Black Sabbath? Really? I guess it's possible their first album was nothing like the rest of their output.
No.  It's all sh!t.   Can't write, can't play, cool spooky album cover.  Let's dress up for Halloween. :lookingup: BLACK SABBATH are overrated. :thumbdown:

People really seem to love the 13th Floor Elevators, never could get into that garage band stuff. I like my psychedelic music heavily overproduced.

"Electric Ladyland" is a must. So "Court of the Crimson King," "Velvet Underground & Nico."

"Maggot Brain" is a great cut, but I wouldn't have put it as the #1 psychedelic album. I wouldn't pick "Revolver" either (it's transitional; I might go with "Sgt. Pepper," which they didn't even include)...

I think Revolver might be a better album... and Psychedelic.

Yeah, but this isn't psychedelic:

If the album was full of "Tomorrow Never Knows" type tracks, I would agree it's a psychedelic classic. I'd say it's a great album with some psychedelic tracks, but personally I wouldn't call it one of the great psychedelic albums.

Yeh, that was probably about the time JOHN and GEORGE started to call PAUL's compositions "old lady music".  Brimming with tunes, he gets treacly.  And kept up writing gorgeous tunes with sometimes empty calorie lyrics; only occasionally does PAUL get lucky with lyric.

I tried and tried.  BLACK SABBATH suck.  Way overrated.  The only reason anyone likes them is because that person has anger issues.

Yeah, not knocking anyone who likes Black Sabbath. Not my thing but whatever. Just surprised that anyone would ever consider them "psychedelic." Unless it's like a Spinal Tap thing...

I would not call the following Psychedelic.  It starts out a bit such and interesting... then it quickly devolves into crappy songwriting. 
Paranoid is arguably BLACK SABBATH's best album.  :lookingup:  It's important; that doesn't mean it's good.

Listening now... 'kay... there's a little playing there... I remain unblown away.

Thinking about it, "Magical Mystery Tour" is probably the most psychedelic Beatles album (though far from the best).

If I was going to make a psychedelic Beatles compilation it would look something like this:

1. Magical Mystery Tour (Magical Mystery Tour)
2. Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds (Sgt. Pepper)
3. I'm Only Sleeping (Revolver)
4. Tomorrow Never Knows (Revolver)
5. I Am the Walrus (MMT)
6. Strawberry Fields Forever (MMT)
7. Happiness is a Warm Gun (The Beatles)
8. Within You Without You (SPLHCB)
9. Blue Jay Way (MMT)
10. A Day in the Life (SPLHCB)

Some great stuff here! I'm a big fan of Amorphous Androgynous: basically they are old 90s electronic musicians who have reformed into a new band that does a lot of psychedlic stuff (include some of the mixing on Noel Gallaghers new stuff.)

They also curate a bunch of DJ mixes of psychedlic music that is really good:

https://www.mixcloud.com/monstrousbubble/

Check out the mixes for a really good collection of psychedlia.

And their one of their albums of original music worth a listen:
