Other music like Jefferson Airplane?

Question

Answer 3

I don't exactly listen to psychedelic music, but I do listen to bands that do occasionally include psychedelic features and songs or mix psychedelic rock with something else.

The Beatles had some psychedelic songs, most of them I believe written by John Lennon solely, as with Led Zeppelin. The Jimi Hendrix Experience mixed psychedelic rock with hard rock, the blues, jazz, funk, and basically whatever else Jimi Hendrix experimented with, and Pink Floyd combined psychedelic rock with progressive rock.

Answer 4

Iron Butterfly (the band that sings In A Gadda Da Vida)
MC5
Big Brother and the Holding Company
Pink Floyd under Syd Barrett (their first album, Piper at the Gates of Dawn)
Syd Barrett (solo)
