Today's freak out! Psychedelic rock tunes.

Today's psychedelic rock tunes.

Acid rock, space rock, proto metal, stoner rock.. if it's tripped out, put it here.

I've been on a mission lately to dig up as much weird obscure psych as I can. Bands like Orang-Utan and Fresh Blueberry Pancake don't get nearly enough play.

Stoner rock has been a prime staple of my playlist for 10 years now and could probably have a thread of its own, but for now it might as well go here since this is the roots of that movement.

 

Atomic Rooster - Nobody Else

 

Hawkwind ~ Space Ritual

One of the best concerts I ever saw. They did the complete LP, A 3 hour show, Auditorium Theatre, Chicago 1973

Most anything by the Butthole Surfers?

Did some Gong - You earlier this morning! :thmbsp:

 

Time to dig out "Emerge"...The Litter

 

OMG. I was there too.

 

Wow!! That's too cool!!! Our seats were way up on the balcony. What a light show!!!

 

Wouldn't hurt if the thread cap was a tad less noisy (the "freak out" bit), but I'm down with Today's Psychedelic ... play list, Brian.

Gimme a minute to dig out a worthy first contribution to this thread candidate...

(nb: Atomic Rooster already had a proper home in the Today's Progressive... thread?)

 

Dark | Round The Edges (Private/UK/1972)

 

Fixed. That was a tad over the top. Edit: Guess I didn't, I'm not sure how to change the title.

Atomic Rooster seemed to make a swing after that album to prog. There's some weird grey areas.

That Dark album is fantastic, btw.

Randy Holden - Blue My Mind

 

1983.... Hendrix

 

'83?

 

Had to look that up myself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983..._(A_Merman_I_Should_Turn_to_Be)

 

My personal favorites were the self titled albums: Moby Grape and Ultimate Spinach. Great old stuff.

 

Guru Guru ~ Electric Junk

This video is way cool!!

Music to Smoke Bananas By.

Had it on a 7-inch 45 rpm back in elementary school days, and let me tell you, it was c-o-o-l. :yes: A few decades on the calendar and on the body/mind might change that perception, if I could find it again, but it was definitely Psychedelic, when that word was new and meant something. Hey, it was the sixties!

 

Nektar- A tab in the Ocean

 

Bent Wind | Sussex [Trend/Canada/1970]

 

There's some great stuff in here already. Got lots of research and digging for lps to do! Thanks guys!
