Favorite Psychedelic Songs

Automatic Slim · 07-25-2009, 05:15 PM

Name 15 of your favorite psychedelic songs, but no more than 5 songs per band. (Otherwise, I'd have a list of nothing but Beatles and Monster Magnet.) I put my list in alphabetical order.

1.Baby Gotterdammerung - Monster Magnet
2. Boris - Melvins; I'd call it psychedelic, just slow and sludgy. Or maybe I'm just trying to justify sneaking the Melvins in somewhere.
3. Come Together - Beatles
4. Dopes To Infinity - Monster Magnet
5. Fairies Wear Boots - Black Sabbath
6. I Am The Walrus - Beatles; Perhaps my favorite psychedelic song.
7. Joan Crawford - Blue Oyster Cult; The lyrics are insane.
8. L.A. Woman - Doors
9. Magic Carpet Ride - Steppenwolf
10. Man on the Silver Mountain - Rainbow
11. Octopus's Garden - Beatles
12. Subhuman - Blue Oyster Cult
13. Tales of Brave Ulysses - Cream
14. Waitin' for the Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago - ZZ Top
15. Werewolves of London - Warren Zevon

I didn't include bands like Electric Wizard or Sleep. They're great stoner bands, but not exactly what I mean by 'psychedelic'.

Pink Floyd's Time is one of my best and your list songs are also my favourite.

Sorry about that. It slipped my mind that there is a subforum for prog and psychedelic.

Ooh, good thread. Here's one for now. Quite the predictable one, but I'm calling on Echoes.

Edit: Sorry, I just realized you said 15. I'll update after work.

Personally the old 70s stuff, besides Pink Floyd and Hendrix, wasn't at all Psychedelic compared to the stuff that is created these days. With that said, here are my top five most psychedelic songs (meaning they aren't necessarily psychedelic rock songs, but instead invoke a psychedelic atmosphere):

5. Dark Stars in a Dazzling Sky - Acid Mothers Temple
4. 50 Million Year Trip - Kyuss
3. Time - Pink Floyd
2. Drip Drip by Comus
1. Dopesmoker - Sleep
