It's Psychedelic Pop Week!

wow you guys have really covered this well

but i have to add all of these just for the simple fact that i was introduced to the psychedelic experience by them

they are not exactly known for "pop" music but this song hits the nail on the head

lets see groovy psychedelic beats, a song title which is an obvious reference to LSD, a video of one of the members on said drug

but Psychic TV really takes the cake for great psychedelic pop

Post-70's psychedelic pop.

Tears for Fears: Sowing the Seeds of Love (1989).

So I'm curious, what's the difference between modern psychedelic pop and neo-psychedelia?

Anyway, this.

A lil bit of Mod Psych:

My favourite Yeasayer track:

From a famous commercial but never really followed up on the band after this track:

The superlative Electric Banana:

With a total of 31 clips, I get the feeling you like psych pop, Pedestrian

This group wasn`t much more than a one-hit wonder, their reputation now overwhelmed by another group with the same name.
If you`re ever disappointed by the level of discussion on MB, take a look at this guy from the Youtube page, explaining why Kurt Cobain`s voice sounds so different on Rainbow Chaser:-

Quote:

You don't know **** about music. I'm practically a musicololoist, and I can tell you that that is obviously Colbain on auto-tune. Lately he's not using auto-tune as much, so that's why you think it's a different person. But this is from his auto-tune days. Either way it SUCK ASS!!!! JB wins again!!!!

Might be my favourite genre.

There's a lot of overlap, and many of the bands I've mentioned could fall into both categories, but in my observation, neo-psychedelia borrows more from psych rock than pop, and tends to lean more towards experimentalism.

Fun fact: My computer blue screen'd today while I was playing back the videos on the first page.

So uh, be warned.

Jan wrote it, Dean sang it. Interesting move. Could have fit a number of Exploitation films perfectly (and that's a compliment coming from me. I love those films.)

What's a Psych Pop thread without one of the legends of The 60's Sunset Strip?

As there's room for some Neo-Psych Pop here...
One from Cope's 1983 "Sunshine Playroom" EP. The World Shut Your Mouth-Fried era is classic.
