Isn't that just stoner rock then?

Heck no! Stoner rock puts a little more emphasis on blues while keeping fuzzy, often distorted riffs, not to mention raw vocals. I wouldn't put an acid rock band like Jimi Hendrix on the same pedestal as a stoner band like QOTSA. And I wouldn't put QOTSA on the same pedestal as a Heavy Psych band like Iron Butterfly. Ironically, there's a difference to music sounding stoned, and music sounding like it's on acid. Weird.

Technic has already replaced Rundgren with Os Mutantes' self titled, as per my request, if you read the last couple of pages of this thread. I agree Floyd's Piper and 13th floor elevators are both also perfect fits for the list though.

Thanks for the update. I've actually never heard Os Mutantes, and given the amount of psych I listen to, that's surprising.

TECHNIC'S MOVE
1. You guys are getting really, really terrible. Piper is already on the Psych Rock list.
2. I put 13th Floor on the Psych list.
3. I posted the Neo-Psych and Arena Rock lists
4. I replaced Dream Theater with Bowie on the Rock Opera.

YOUR MOVE
You can...
1. Find some album to replace Mindcrime, as it's already been in the Metal Survivor thread (which is not optimal), and definitely represents metal more than rock.
2. Decide to leave it, because you don't care enough or you genuinely want a not-exactly-rock album on there.
3. Make a Jazz-Fusion list? (Include Bitches Brew?)

/s

If we want a list for those two genres, we'll be combining them under one name (Ima go with Acid Rock, sorry J). And you'll have to come up with a list yourselves.

Art punk?

Listen, if you can come up with a list, I'm cool with adding as many genres as you want.

I see. I've always just lumped heavy psych in with acid rock but I guess there is a difference.

Incomplete fusion list:
Miles Davis - Bitches Brew
Return to Forever - Light as a Feather
Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters
Mahavishnu Orchestra - The Inner Mounting Flame
Al Di Meola - Elegant Gypsy
Soft Machine - Third

Love all of these artists, and have heard some others from the genre, but haven't been that impressed. I could add them, but I think it would be better for someone else to fill out the list with albums they actually enjoy. I think Weather Report is usually considered an essential but I don't care for it.

Crap, I'm dumb, especially since I wrote that list in the first place.

How about Jesus Christ Superstar?
