They were pioneers, I didn't say they were better than anyone else.


The first use of the term in relation to music was by the Holy Modal Rounders. H.P. Lovecraft were amongst the first bands to start playing psych music, as well as Kaleidascope and The Peanut Butter Conspiracy.

In my opinion though, the first ever band to really play psychedelic music was Captain Beefheart.
