60's Psychedelic Music - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Ace_O_Spades · 03-20-2005, 10:41 PM

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!

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.

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.

Craven Morehead · 03-21-2005, 06:51 AM

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

byesman · 03-21-2005, 09:32 AM

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

saut · 03-21-2005, 11:28 AM

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

omega2K4 · 03-21-2005, 09:56 PM

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).

Tusko · 03-21-2005, 10:42 PM

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

Ace_O_Spades · 03-21-2005, 11:34 PM

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

Tarl Cabot · 03-22-2005, 11:38 PM

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.

munchen · 03-23-2005, 12:08 AM

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.

gboz · 03-24-2005, 06:29 AM

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

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

franvineyard · 03-24-2005, 05:41 PM

Some of the later Beatles were very psychodelic.

lunchbox · 03-24-2005, 06:25 PM

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

saut · 03-24-2005, 08:03 PM

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.
