Which do you think are the best Psychodelic Groups of the 60 and 70?

Answer 1

Jefferson Airplane, Big Brother and the Holding Company(with Janis Joplin), Jimi Hendrix Experience, Buffalo Springfield, Cream, The Byrds, The Yardbirds, The Grateful Dead, Country Joe and the Fish, Canned Heat, Rare Earth, The Who, etc.

Answer 2

In terms of that time, Pink Floyd would have been the best prog rock band with the whole psychadelic shtick. Next I would have to say The Who, then the Beatles. I know everyone simply LOVES Sgt. Peppers for some reason, but that was the Beatles only real heavy experimental album, whereas the Who had at least two or three pyschadelic songs on every album, mainly because Pete Townsend absolutely loved Syd Barrett.

Answer 3

The first era of Pink Floyd (the Syd Barret era-from mid 1965 to March 1968) produced the group's first two singles:
Arnold Layne-about a dude whose trip was stealing ladies undies from laundry lines, and See Emily Play-from a vision Syd had when sleeping in the local woods. But these were just a taste-the group's first full album, The Piper At the Gates of Dawn (a title borrowed from children's poetry), was Syd's childhood on acid,set to psychedelic rock (Lucifer Sam-about a sneaky cat; Mathilda Mother-about bedtime stories his mum told him, Astronomy Domine-about the heavens, Flaming-about 'flaming youth' with unlimited imagination, and the instrumental "Interstellar Overdrive"-a 9 minute 'freakout' jam into outer space). The only real dog of a song on the album was Roger Water's only contribution! (of course, he was to become a legendary singer-songwriter in the group's second phase from May '68 through "The Wall" in 1979)
But Syd burned out, and David Gilmour entered (spring of '68).
With 'One of These Days' and the title track "Echoes" (a whole side two) on the Meddle album in 1971, the Floyd continued into the cosmic, and the priceless 1973 lp Dark Side of the Moon (which helped sell countless headphones for its trippy songtrack)
solidified their place in rock history. Wish You Were Here in 1975 came next-Roger's ode to missing Syd and the tune "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" (like 'the Walrus' was Paul, the "Diamond' was Syd)-Pink Floyd is synonymous with psychedelic rock-both in the 60s and the 70s.
