Anyone suggest some good pyschedlic rock groups?

Question

I've fallen in love with Pink Floyd this summer, and am looking for more music similar to this genre...

Answer 1

Jefferson Airplane
Grateful Dead
The Doors
Jimi Hendrix
The Beatles-later works
ELP
PINK FLOYD
Yes
Jethro Tull
Santana
The Moody Blues
Porcupine Tree
Beach Boys-Some of their music
The Who-Tommy
Basically music from 1967 also

Answer 2

Pink Floyd, GreatfulDead, Ten Years After, Bloodrock, Cactus, Three Dog Night, Big Brother and the Holding Company, Jefferson Airplane, David Bowie, Donovan. just to mention a few. This list should give you a good head start. I'd begin with the Greatful Dead's 5 disc set "A Greatful Dead Soundtrack". And being that you're such a Pink Floyd fan, dig into their very early stuff with Sid Barret whom might I add is the true grass roots to that band anyways. If you've ever heard of Floyd songs like "Arnold Lane" and "See Emily Play", Barret's the guy who wrote those songs. But if you really wanna veg out with some mind altering appeal, go buy a copy of Floyd's First pre-curser to "Dark Side of the Moon", "Medal". Good stuff manard! Now go roll a fatty and swim to the dark side.

Answer 3

H.P. Lovecraft, Strawberry Alarm Clock, Love, The Electric prunes, The Salt, The Glass Family, Traffic, Orange, King Crimson, Moody Blues, Grateful Dead, The Doors, The Peanut Butter Conspiracy, Iron Butterfly, Jefferson Airplane, Pink Floyd ( Make sure you get syds stuff to and all the rares from limewire or what ever)...there is sooo much im a HUGE pyschedlic listener if you have limewire it might take you a long time to get some of the songs it took me months too get the amount i have because most is underground music and hard to come by but anything 60s is pysch. bring a list of bands and go to some shops and try and finds thier records to if your into that .

Answer 4

Start with Led Zepplin 1 thru 4, Black Sabbath, Jefferson AIrplane, Buffalo Springfield, Alice Cooper, Start with those... go to the video store and rent The Song Remains the Same... Its an awesome movie/documentary of Led Zepplin. I absolutely love it! Their music is unbeleivable. Jimmy Page rocks! There were great musicians! Thats when music was good! Have you seen Pink Floyds "The Wall"? rent that too! I grew up with all this music. ITs wonderful!

Answer 5

Not much new to add without just repeating other choices, but I would also throw in some of the Beatles records. In particular Magical Mystery Tour and Sgt. Peppers.

Radiohead has a lot of psychodelic influence. I would look into OK Computer and Kid A.

Also, there is a group called Can from the 60s who used to record their records on acid. I've only heard one of their records and it was a while ago, but I remember it being pretty awesome and pretty interesting in that way.

And I would like to support the answers of Hawkwind and the Mars Volta as they are less obvious ad very good choices.

Not so much psychodelic as just very orchestrated in a rock way, but it fits in well is Godspeed! You Black Emperor. They are really great. You might want to check them out
