i wanna know whether pink floyd is the father of psychic music or it is someone else?

Question

who is considered as the father of psychic music...is it pink floyd

Answer 1

pink floyd were certainly the first band to go mainstream who used a lightshow as a major part of their stage presence.

if by 'psychedelic' you are referring to a style of performance pink floyd were almost certainly the first.

if by 'psychedelic' you mean the florid modern-jazz based style of music which became fashionable first in britain and then in the us from about 1965 on you should also look at bands like the soft machine, the incredible string band, piblokto! - perhaps even the velvet underground (they were a new york band - but with a welsh bass player).

pink floyd were one of the first bands to play that kind of music, and probably the first band to introduce the light shows and the flowery clothing to go with it.

Answer 2

I would imagine psychedelic music got it's start in jazz, blues, folk music starting in the 40's and 50's in the beat scene since that's when psychedelics first saw wide use in the US . Read some stuff by Jack Kerouac to see what I'm talking about.

But you are right about Pink Floyd in a way. They were decades ahead of their time and are responsible for a whole lot of good trips for me.

Answer 3

Jimi Hendrix was doing psychedelic long before Pink Floyd. As was Jefferson Airplane, Blue Cheer, Iron Butterfly, Early Santana, and the list could go on and on...

Answer 4

well, i would have to say that there isn't necessarily one originator of psychedelic music. i would say what is considered psychedelic music originated in san francisco sometime around 1965 or 66, with bands like the dead, the airplane, big brother, and others, as well in london with the revolver and rubber soul albums by the beatles. pink floyd early on certainly could be considered psychedelic, check out this video of see emily play, when syd barrett was still with them.

Answer 5

pink floyd is a group, not an individual.
and, according to allmusic.com, they are the "premier space rock band"

if you mean psychadelic, then i would say they are not the originators of that type of music.

there may be an association with drugs and pink floyd. ie: people like to take drugs and listen to 'dark side of the moon'. however, from what i have read, the band does not like that association. they, except for the founder syd barret, were not druggies.

Answer 7

Psychedelic music, your thinking of Syd Barrett one of the founding members of Pink Floyd, when he was in the band and his own music, the band got away from the really weird stuff when they fired him

Answer 8

The father of psychedelic? I do not know about that... they may have introduced it to more of a main stream audience.

All music is stemmed from something else. In my opinion no one can take the credit for creating any type of music. All musicians are inspired by something of someone and take bits and pieces from others to make their own creation.

Answer 9

Time, money, Us and Them, mind damage, Eclipse, hi there You, with ease Numb, canines, wish You were the following, Shine On You loopy Diamond, Echoes, and Sheep are all quite on the brink of the appropriate of my record.

Answer 10
