Psychedelic Rock lives on.

Post Reply New Topic

That's right it did not die in the 60's there are modren psychedelic rock bands these days as well.

A couple examples are:
The Black Angels
The Dolly Rocker Movement
Wooden Shijps(that might be spelled wrong...)
Black Mountain

So if you like this genre listen to those, and if you know of any others let me know.

What constitutes psychadelic rock? I really like the Flaming Lips and Ween (which are awesome sounds to have psychadelic experiences to) but don't know if that actually counts. How about Godspeed You! Black Emperor or Explosions in the Sky?

Well from what I have found if it sounds like psychedelic rock it probably is.....I am not sure of the exact defintion of psychedelic rock.....but in my opinion if it is rock, sounds trippy and has some amount of blues influence it's psychedelic there is psychedelic hard rock to like Led Zeppelin......a more modren one would be The Devils Blood.

I have not heard those ones but I will check them out.

Ween is pretty rad. Other psychedelic rock type music, try Apollo Sunshine, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, Man Man, MGMT of course, Awesome Color, Pendulum, Sleigh Bells (that might be a stretch), Beck, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Eels, The Shins..... I admit I might be defining this genre too broadly but EH

Some great psychedelic prog bands.
Hypnos 69
Astra - New album releasing around october.

i have never listened to bands that consider themselves psychedlic but i think ive listened to songs that are. like the vines dont go or the siouxie and the banshees cover of dear prudence. i love the drugged up feeling you get from it. been meaning to look more up.

The Orange Alabaster Mushroom are a psychedelia band from the 90s, and I really like their stuff. Amorphous Androgynous are cool too.

There's a party in my head and no one is invited. I love the lyrics of this song. The band is called Tame Impala.

Try:
Bardo Pond
Dead Meadow
Dungen
Acid Mothers Temple
Boris
Roy Montgomery
Boredoms

This is the first thread that came up when I looked up psychedelic music... Anyway, I think I just found gold... Edit*= wow meaningless posted acid mothers temple, where have I been... probably listening to too much blues but yay for acid mothers temple! I am now addicted and my brain is practically mush from 3 hrs straight of Acid Mothers Temple *happy drool

And to think I thought The Orange Alabaster Mushroom was from the 60's...failed to look at the date I guess. But I didn't hear that song before and am listening to it and liking it at the moment. I think I've heard the other band to but I'll have to listen to that next and find out.

Don't forget Sleepy Sun! Their new album, Spine Hits is disappointingly not very psychedelic, but their previous two, Fever and Embrace couldn't be more awesome!

Also, The Myrrors, Weird Owl, and Egypt are great, too!

The Doors

Does O'Brother count?

Another awesome band.

I usually call the styles I like simply head music. Psychedelic falls into this catagory. In addition to quite a few bands mentioned here... Deerhunter, the horrors, sufjan Stevens, bear vs shark, animal collective (couple albums were rock styles), faith no more, mr bungle, fu manchu. If I had my library could point out more.
