Pop Album Survivor: Psychedelic Pop (Judgement time!)

JGuy Grungeman · 01-19-2016, 10:23 AM

I would say that those would fit as well, however, more modernized "psychedelic pop" is more neo-psychedelia than anything. So I guess Flaming Lips should leave, since it's pretty neo.

Let's not get caught up in specific differentials between specific differentials in a sub genre. I'm not sure how these usually work anyway? Should I change the thread title to "Pop Album Survivor: Psychedelic Pop", then solidify the list?

Voting after we kinda agree on the 10?

Most of these other lists decide all the lists on ten before going into the first battle, so I think we should do that first. If you want to update the OP with the lists we've already done and the ones we need to do it'd help us out a lot.

Yeah I'll be doing that. But I'd rather we focus on one genre at a time. So if a few people wanna have their say on Psychedelic Pop, let's get it going.

I'm good if you are.

Only replacement I'd make is Flaming Lips, as I've said. But if no one minds, I'm fine with it. It was a quick job, anyway, but if people like it, cool.

I'm sure there are all very valid records, but again it's rather archaic. I'd have to put Fever Ray's self-titled album and 'Oracular Spectacular' on there to add a bit more balance. With YMO and Eurythmics missing out. Also agree with Frownland's point, but it's not quite as iconic or highly regarded in general.
