60's Psychedelic Music
 

I'm trying to get a decent collection I can chill to before I go to sleep, I'm opening up the floor to recommendations, since I don't know where to start.

I've got some Jefferson Airplane and some Big Brother and the Holding Company, but I can always use more!

Thanks in advance for your help!

:thumbsup:

If you can find it, there's this band called Ultimate Spinach. I'm not really into it but it's psychedelic as all get out. I've seen it on Ebay occasionally and I'm sure it's downloadable from somewhere. Good luck.

A few to Consider:

Beatles - Strawberry Fields Forever
Beatles - A Day in the Life
Strawberry Alarm Clock - Incense and Peppermints
Vanilla Fudge - You Keep Me Hangin' On
Electric Prunes - I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night)
Procol Harum - A Whiter Shade of Pale
Tommy James and the Shondells - Crimson and Clover
Tommy James and the Shondells - Crystal Blue Pursuasion
Donovan - Hurdy Gurdy Man
Iron Butterfly - In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida
Jimi Hendrix Experience - All Along the Watchtower
Chambers Brothers - Time Has Come Today
Amboy Dukes - Journey to the Center of the Mind
Byrds - Eight Miles High

Santana "Abraxas"

The dual cut "Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen" has a lot of trippy wind chime sounds that I used to fall asleep to.

Moody Blues - from Days of Future Passed to Seventh Sojourn, 7 albums in total

Syd Barrett had some great psychadelic songs. Look on "Opel", "The Madcap Laughs", "Barrett", and other albums for some good music.

Well, not from the 60's, but definilty psychadelic and definitly good chill/sleep music, I would recommend anything by Sigur Ros.

The United States of America, Jefferson Airplane, Cream, Blue Öyster Cult (Not 1960s, but '70s, more metal than psychedelic, but still awesome music), Greatful Dead, and The Doors (more acid rock, but its similar).

nuggets. the COMPLETE collection of psychedelia and early garage music.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Everything so far has been pretty much exactly what i'm looking for

Buffalo Springfield--Bluebird. Good guitar riffs.
Cream-- White Room, Badge, Sunshine of Your Love
Hendrix- Purple Haze, All Along the Watchtower
Steppenwolf--Born to Be Wild
Byrds--Eight Miles High, LOTS of other good stuff
I was also fond of Uriah Heep and Captain Beyond
Robin Trower
Led Zeppelin Black Dog, Rock & Roll, Stairway to Heaven (those of us who lived through the sixties are probably sick of Stairway to Heaven)

The epitome of psychedelic is Incense and Peppermints by The Strawberry Alarm Clock--it's dated now, but you did say you wanted psychedelic. Flstf agrees with me.

The Doors. This has got to be the best psychedelic band ever. i dont think you can go wrong with anything from them

No argument there. Morrison's parents live near me.

Sly and the Family Stone were pretty psychedelic in a funky way but how about Frigid Pink? Anybody remember them?

psych bands
(the rock and roll version)
---
can: tago mago, ege bamyasi, future days, monster movie
faust
quicksilver messenger service
the first two soft machine albums
gong--i really like the daevid allen period--camembert electrique, teapot gnome trilogy (daevid allen's banana moon is great--hard to find now i think)
the amboy dukes have some interesting stuff--journey to the center of your mind
the first two pink floyd albums (piper at the gates of dawn, saucerful of secrets) ummagumma, meddle
13th floor elevators


neopsych bands:

acid mothers temple (amazing band)
ghost (another amazing band)
bardo pond (sludge--a fine older philly band)
fursaxa

it's early--my list making function is slow to work.

The soundtrack for Pulp Fiction has a few good 60's psychadelia songs on it.

Some of the later Beatles were very psychodelic.

The Brian Jonestown Massacre. free mp3s on their site too. they are very psychadelic.

For more space rock/ psychedelic music along the lines of that made in the 60's, give the following albums by Porcupine Tree a whirl: Moonloop and The Sky Moves Sideways.
