The albums are my personal
favourites but also have to follow
3 other criteria:
(1) They must have some kind of
artistic merit (no guilty pleasures)
(2) They must be recognized and
adequately succesful at the time
of release.
(3) They have to clearly belong in the
psychedelic rock genre.
Feel free to comment!
P.S. 1 Albums are in alphabetical order
P.S. 2 Only one album per artist
Incomplete without the Thirteenth Floor Elevators, the innovators of the genre.
Clearly demonstrates that "psychedelic music" has never been defined. Just anything subjectively labeled so. Jefferson Airplane's next album 'After Bathing at Baxters' and The Doors second album Strange Days are actually much more psychedelic than their listed albums.
Generally excellent list. I'm particularly glad to see the criminally underrated Pretty Things on the list, as SF Sorrow is truly one of the greatest albums of the 1960s. But any compilation of psychedelic albums MUST include the Jefferson Airplane, possibly the most psychedelic group of all time. I suppose the problem is that you could include ALL their albums between Surrealistic Pillow and Volunteers on such a list. Also, you forgot The Soft Machine, who were more important in the psychedelic phenomenon than a couple of the bands you include above. Moby Grape were another superb psychedelic band.
Hendrix - 1983...(A Merman I Should Turn To Be). A total freakout.
a psychedelic masterpiece
Excellent list. Some well-known classics, some I’m slightly familiar with, and some completely unknown and in need of more research.
WITHOUT THE 5-6 FIRST PINK FLOYD ALBUMS NO ONE GOES NOWHERE!!! (WITH PF GOES EVERYWHERE!!!)
What is this 1967 albun of Tangerine Dream (which is not considered Psychedelic, but Electronic or Kautorock) I thought TD’s first album was 1970 Electronic Meditations. Please explain.
The name of the band was Kaleidoscope, the album was called Tangerine Dream. It's just a coincidence ....not the same band.
Αρκετά καλή η λίστα. Προσωπικά, θα άλλαζα κάποια από αυτά με περισσότερο επιδραστικές ψυχεδελικές μπάντες, όπως:
Αντί για : Funkadelic > Sweet Smoke - Just A Poke
Αντί για : Pretty Things > Hunger - Strictly From Hunger
Αντί για : Spirit > Gandalf - S/T
Αντί για : The Incredible String Band > Indian Summer - S/T
Αντί για : Os Mutantes > Aphrodite's Child - 666
Αντί για : The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band > Arcadium - Breath A While

JOSÉ CID 10.000 Anos Depois Entre Vénus E Marte
In the summer of 1969 I was at the Marine 1st MAW DaNang Vietnam, in the early morning Armed Forces Radio would play a Musical Tune 'KaCing KaCing' and so on, I found it on TH-cam years ago, What do you think it is, cannot find it anymore...
ah good list, i know them all
"Dance the Night Away" from "Disraeli Gears"
Best album of this list (to me) is Revolver, but then again the Beatles are my favorite band lol, Pysch Rock is a great genre!
Not Bad, but could have added the Sir Douglas Quintet or early Steve Miller, or The Mothers of Invention. Even I have have never heard of Os Mutantes.
You got most of the good ones, with some clunkers. Psychedelic Music only existed for a short while, although a few artists have brought the genre back, for an album. By 1970, the Psych tropes had all been used in Bubble Gum, Mainstream Adult, Pop and Rock genres, diluting the field too much to continue. The albums on this list are the

the 13th Floor Elevators
Why do people like Spirit. I saw them give the worst performance I had ever seen at Fillmore West. Bill Graham actually kicked me out after I complained about them.
Point 2 I disagree with because commercial success does not necessarily equal good or quality music.
"promosm" 🌟
best album is Love "forever changes"
No, you left out many that were better.
Interesting list, but about half of them are not psychedelic
