- Lets take a trip back to the mid 1960s. Psychedelic music is a style of rock that was inspired by psychedelic culture. Artists like The Beatles and The Byrds pioneered the genre in the mid 1960s.
To put this video together, I visited a website called "Madcap Music Review," in which a critic ranks songs based on popularity and influence they had upon a certain type of music. You can see the complete list of 100 songs here: www.madcapmusicreview.com/Page...

Thanks for the "trip" down memory lane. At 72, I can say without a doubt, we grew up with the BEST music!
Damn right we did amigo!
At 73, I am right with you! This was a pretty decent list. It sure brings a lot back even after living so many decades after the fact. But the groove that came alive back in the day never leaves the hearts of those who were there! ✌ I am so happy I was part of it all!
upvoted from a 33 year old, it just felt true and right.
I was born in the early 50s and I got to see The Beatles on Ed Sullivan that changed my whole life.
I am thankful that I got to be Exposed to all the wonderful music. From rock and roll to psychedelic There wasn't a better time on Earth for music.
I don't listen to a lot of the old Music Anymore Like I Used To but if You WANT your mind to be blown completely away Listen to (Deep Purple sweet child in time) There are so many that I love, Pink Floyd being one of them comfortably numb one of my very very favorites.
Led Zeppelin I can't even begin to start.
You young people have so many choices and so many ways to go it must be wonderful, Look backwards once in a while and see what the freaks were doing Back in the 60s and 70s
You got that right! Born in 1951, I was there in the flesh, like you. There will never be anything like it again. Peace Out my brothers and sisters! ✌✌
Cream; "Sunshine of your love"
Moody Blues "Tuesday Afternoon"
I was 6 years old in 1968 but loved that songs. 💯
Still one of my very favorites today 2021 😉😎😉
I turned eight in '68 and the song is one of my favorites as well.
I thought exactly the same thing. Where is Tuesday Afternoon?
Ride my seesaw!
I am 73 years old. I have been a Moodies fan for over 50 years. I have seen them perform live at least 16 times. Tuesday Afternoon and Nights in White Satin are still my favorites and the whole Question of Balance is still one of my favorite albums.
@Tony T there are a few moody blues songs that should have been on this list.
The music of this era (1966-1968) will stand the test of time; there is nothing since then that can hold a candle to it.
Jefferson Airplane Santana Strawberry Alarm Clock
I have a long list. We had a Telefunken with a Phillips reel to reel, and a turn table, HiFi. My dad got it at the PX in Turkey. No TV. It went everywhere with us. I was four. Lots of dancing and singing over the years and surfing radio frequencies. “They don’t make them like that anymore.”
A lot of it was crap. Especially the commercially produced junk.
Yahoo Music used to have a station dedicated to nothing but trippy hippie music and I heard so much I'd never heard before. Sure would like to find the station is still available somewhere.
Actually, there were other tunes that were as great as the tunes of that era. I have been blessed to have been s part of it. LP's such as "Dark Side of the Moon", "Wish you were here", "Abbey Road", Wonderful stuff that will never be seen or heard again....
I grew up in the 60's. What a glorious time of music for us all...Still MORE than holds up!...
I have more than one young person say they prefer 60s 70s music then now. That really is easy to figure out given the songs today.
It's Amazing how the 60s Hippy, Flower Power, Free Love Era was A Control Programme helped with LSD and Music to Lead majority of Unconscious people down a certain path and most still don't know it was all done for a reason DJ Mark Devlin Explains....
@@daddymulk
It was helped, 💯 by BIRTH CONTROL knuckles.
"She said, she said' is great, but "Tomorrow Never Knows" is the ultimate psychedelic song and should have been included.
I agree but the sound of she said she said is absolutely incredible for a Beatles song, Ringo plays the drums like Mitch Mitchell and the whole feel is so acid inspired, like far out
Tomorrow Never Knows is included in the list but apparently replaced by She Said, She Said.
Tomorrow Never Knows was the first Revolver song recorded, even though it's the last song on the album and sounds as if it's anticipating what was to come out in '67.
Rain by the Beatles is another really great one.
you are right
Take a trip down memory lane. I was a teenager when these songs came out . Now I'm an old man. Time just flew by.
Funny, I was a teenager too, I still feel young thanks to it. I feel like I've lived a million years.
Hi, you should consider yourself super lucky you were alive during those years and got to experience these, other people would do anything to be alive then, myself included 😅😂😊
I hear ya brother ..Viet Nam helped the aging process,but the music gets my mind (at least)back to my younger days
@@alwignot3584,
"... helped the aging process ... "
That experience definitely accelerated "growing up".
It's a Beautiful Day. anyone?...the whole album is a psychedelic trip. Fun list, so many bands to try to cover.
No kidding! They should have been included!
Along with quicksilver messenger!
@@marvinmartin4692,
Who do you love?
"White Rabbit" is still one of my favorite songs of all time. That's one trippy ass tune. 😵
Saw the Zen Tricksters do a 10 minute version at the Right Track Inn on Long Island. Jeff wailed on his guitar like I've never seen. Coulda used some acid THAT night! But it was after my druggie days.
That one song alone set grace up for the rest of her life.
Of course!!
@@georgepappas3790 So , so sorry my friend. Thats Patti Santos of the group ;
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY . Patti died in 89.
A common mistake, they sound similar.
* Grace Slick was Jefferson Airplane.
Feels like the rabbit hole.
So grateful to have been born in the 50s ! The Best of everything!!!
I was born In 1960 and remember practically every song here with childhood fondness (DISCLAIMER: I had teen brothers). My favorites? Strawberry Alarm Clock's "Incense and Peppermints," and The Doors "Light My Fire."😁❤
@@ilovegoodsax excellent
I am too. Don't you wish you could Time Travel back to that era? Maybe not physically but at least we can still listen to this music, thanks to Sirius/XM and TH-cam. I have been on Bing videos watching a lot of Ed Sullivan shows.
@@donnamaccrossan1358 I still remember the night The Beatles were on Ed Sullivan it's like the world changed !
Truth !! "55 myself.
The expansion of consciousness that occured to people of that generation is still amazing !
1983 , A Merman I Should Turn to Be. Jimi's most psychedelic song.
Light my Fire. One of the best songs ever written for us old hippys. Incredible song
ALREADY BEEN SAID,
WHERE'S " CREAM"????
JANICE!, GREAT BLUES
SINGER, DOESN'T
BELONG THERE!...
The Doors but no Zombies?
Penny Lane is a great song and one of my favorite Beatles songs, but I wouldn’t say that it’s a psychedelic song
NOT A BAD LIST. NO ONE WHO HAS COMMENTED. HAS FAILED TO MENTION BACK THEN MUSIC WAS STILL REGIONAL.
EAST COAST/ WEST COAST SOUND. SO TO PUT EVERYTHING IN A
LIMITED GROUPING. IS UNREALISTIC!!!
F A R-O U T-M A N
I bought the the double ‘A’ 45 disc in 1967 in 🇬🇧 for Strawberry Fields, it was a bonus that Penny Lane was on the other side
It certainly was close to what was consider psychedelic at the time…beside it being the “B” side of one of the ultimate Psychedelic Songs ever released, Strawberry Fields… it all seemed wrapped together when I was listening to back in Jr High Days!
The flip side of the Penny Lane 45 is Strawberry Fields Forever, now that baby is psychedelified !!
“Strawberry Fields” was released on 13 February 1967 as a double A-side single with "Penny Lane"in 🇬🇧
This is the rock I grew up with. For me, this is the most enjoyable rock genre. So imaginative, full of resources in the grounds of technical discoveries and innovation, the music sounded very original and memorable... I just love it!
The best!
Back in the day. Great time to be growing up. Nothing like it is today. Sometimes I left a night club/bar cause couldn't stand the the well what kids today call music.
@@ArrivedStoned im gen Z and this is my favorite genre
My world changed when I heard Hey Joe Everything changed from grey to psychedelic I’m not finished yet
@@LeviBulger well they did have talent especially compared to todays so called bands or artists, it’s just that Beatles were the obvious band to look up to and record companies were in need of a quick buck so they directed many bands to copy instead of growing their own style. Still, I rather listen to a mediocre Beatles copycat than whatever is on top of the charts today
The Steppenwolf hit "Magic Carpet Ride" with our older brothers in Vietnam really hits home and takes me back to 1968!
I saw Steppenwolf in concert in 1968, I was 16. Thank you Nam Vet👏👏👏 SALUTE!
@Scott Donnelly "Oh, the snot has caked against my pants;
It has turned into crystal"
So was the Animals' "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" while riding out on a chopper.
Oh man , you hit the nail on the head . Only way , I got out of Vietnam was my 2 brothers were either at Tet. or waiting to be deployed . The only good thing that came out of Nam was the music of the era ! It 1966 thru 1971 , was such a turbulent time The assinations , the riots , that fucking war , Woodstock , " underground " music .FM radio beginnings . Sheesh , I'm lucky to have survived . But , the anti -: establishment , protests for peace ..But the music and the music was simply the escape , even our brothers , men waiting to be deployed ....The MUSIC was our escape At least for a little bit . When I hear some of these recordings ,it brings right back to those years .
Me too, but not in a nostalgic way. That son of a bitch Nixon tried to kill me!
No time like the 60's & 70's. Music that meant something for love and humanity.............
@DD dunn The resentment impulse strong in this one is.
(Why leave out "Psychotic Reaction" (Count 5), "I Love You" (People) and "I Can See For Miles?" (The Who)
Be well.
I don’t think I’d include the seventies in “music that meant something,” and I can explain why with one word: Disco.
Uh, Procol Harum - A Whiter Shade of Pale. We can't forget that classic!
I was in Jr. high when these songs were played on the radio, in 1967 and on. What an amazing time to be alive. Our chant was LOVE PEACE AND HAPPINESS!
What an amazing memory. Yes I sure do miss those days.
I absolutely LOVE that you included "See Emily Play" in this compilation...
Does it surprise you as much as it does me that See Emily Play was the only Pink Floyd song included in this?
@@robinrossow2654 yes and jimi hendrix too
Astronomy Domenime (sp?) on "The Pipers at the Gates of Dawn" blew me away. Back in the Owsley days. Forgive my spelling
But missing Astronomy Domine is a absolute sin
I was a HS Sr in '67. It was my first year of college. That 3 yr span between the "Summer of Love" in '67 throughout the turbulent '68 year of an election and the Chicago riots ending with Woodstock in '69 provided some of THE most influential and mindblowing music the world has ever known. It will never be repeated. I doted on all of it.
Same here!
Once-in-a-lifetime Woodstock 🇺🇲 🖤
Eight Miles High was THE song that really exemplified Psychedelic music for me. Such a great song. All of them were great.
I like this song essentially in the fantastical and psychedelic Roxy Music's revival in their super album 'Flesh and blood' (1980 ), which contains also several other little diamonds, like Wilson Pickett's 'In the midnight hour', for example.
That whole album - Fifth Dimension - is amazing.
What a blast, thanks from time traveller me; born in 62 and now here 2021.Aroha too the past.
Just the best music ever I really enjoy being a baby boomer this music will never never die or be replaced …It is just unique….Immortal
I met Timothy Leary in Las Vegas in the summer of 1994. I recognized him immediately, and when I walked up to him, I was greeted by a gentle human being. I told him that I understood where he was coming from. He smiled at me and told me that I have a sparkling soul. So I got that going for me, which is nice.
@Angus McPhereson : I worked at Bushwood for a few summers.
Judge Smails called and said, "You will get nothing and like it!"
Excellent list. Wonderful era. This and Motown. The 60's were the most innovative era in rock and soul.
Awesome Play List brings back the Good Ole days
Being a product of the 60's, I always found it difficult to think of the Beach Boys as a psychedelic band.
They do have a psychedelic period though! Just one listen to the Smile sessions will convince you.
Agreed, No Beach Boys and No, Tommy James.....I do like the Beach Boys, though.
@@b.w.barbee2269 Your right, their surfer tunes from the early/mid 60's were cool, particularly if you were a teen back then. And, yes, Tommy James and the Shondells definitely tried too hard to be hip. Should have stuck to pop.
@@thom-mark6443 The Beach Boys were psychedelic to say the least in Brian's final days as band leader.
From Pet Sounds up to Smiley Smile (some might argue that up to "Surf's Up" the album) they were pioneers in every musical way.
They have plenty of Psychedelic songs post Smile and Smiley-Smile era, "Cool, Cool Water", the albums Friends, they're a great band
You're Gonna Miss Me by 13th Floor Elevators (1966) and Colours by Kaleidoscope (1968) are fantastic psychedelic rock songs
Beatles changed everything for everybody 🇬🇧 🖤
A lot of these weren't what I would consider 'psychedelic', but I enjoyed your selection anyway.
Memories of my youth ✌️
I thank God for getting me through it...
I'm nearing 67 years old and have lost many friends and family over the years.
Journey Well Brother's and Sister's ✌️

Thank you.
Thanks for scratching the surface of those great years, although curious why you left out the single Biggest hit of global radio at that time? Arthur Brown's "Fire" was THE breakout Psych song..! Anyway, Please continue on into the 70s when so much XLNT Prog rock further explored this vibe - and try to include bands Other than just Brits & Americans. Gong and Nectar deserve far more attention than anyone ever bothers to give them.
@@karlheeren8727 You're welcome.
3rd
@@kenmckenzie-grant6510 I thought Fire was more of a novelty hit than anything. I certainly didn't think it was quintessential to the genre. And what do you mean by XLNT?
Jimi's Purple Haze is my favourite song on the 1960's . 🎸🎼🎼🎼✨✨✨✨
In search of the lost chord!
First trip while listening to
Ride my seesaw 🤯!!
I was born in 67 but I grew up listening to this music and still do along with the 50's 60's 70s 80s 90's and some of today's
I was ten years old in 1967. This is the music of my youth. I spent endless hours listening to all of this. Curiously it shaped my love of HEAVY METAL. Arthur Brown is missing here ( Fire). This music got me through a rough childhood.
Me too.. It was a good place to go when everything else was bad
Arthur Brown, Love, and The Zombies are conspicuously missing.
One of the earliest and greatest psychedelic songs ever is Season of the Witch by Donovan
...and a great cover by Vanilla Fudge as well!
Groovy Guru & DaveKraft1 ..... And can't leave out what may be the BEST version of 'Season of the Witch' performed by Mike Bloomfield, Al Kooper and Stephen Stills from the incredible album....SUPER SESSION!!
Thanks guys!!
@@larryslemp9698 thats what I remember, Super
Sessions, I can re,member a lot of mornings 3 O'clock, shooting pool, and listening to that album, over and over. Actually didn't know there was any other!
Absolutely fantastic song!
It is a very haunting song. I loved how they used it for the credits roll in "To Die For"..
Chambers Brothers Time Has Come is by far the greatest psychedelic soul song of all time.
Did you ever see them in concert? They really did a great job on that one!!!!
Did you ever see them in concert? They really did a great job on that one!!!!
I agree with you tommy d on the beach boys, but man what a great time it was!!
I was born in 1960, but the music was a huge part of my upbringing. My parents enjoyed a vast variety of music from southern spirituals, big band, R&B, Motown, TSOP, easy listening 🎧, the British Invasion, JAZZ, swing Rock, Doo Wop, etc. Whatever sounded good, my parents, older sister and brother listened to it! So for me, I listen 👂 to whatever sounds good to me and I don't care who makes it! That said, people have said nice things about the expansion of my mind, while others have questioned my ethnicity and sanity! All I can say is that I am who I am. I like what I like. Others opinions about me don't mean sh*t to me!!! I Love ❤️ Music!!! Music 🎶 is a Sweet Sticky Thing and I wanna Rock and Roll All Nite and party every day!!!
Yes🎼🎶🪄❗❗❗
Chambers Brothers, long version of Time Has Come Today. So good!!!!!
I saw The Chamber Brothers in Dallas I believe in 74 or 75. Great show and Time has Come Today was the encore.
It’s there
Not psychedelic
Saw them in South Lake Tahoe, July 4, 1968. Flamin' Groovies opened the show, then an unknown band called Santana Blues Band warmed up the crowd pretty well. Hitched all the way over to Angel's Camp to see the Chambers Brothers in '75 or so, and I was the only one there. They cancelled the show, refunded my $2.50, and bought me a beer.
Love the guitar work on that song!
The first really trippy song I ever heard was Procol Harum’s Whiter Shade of Pale. For me that ushered in psychedelic music.
1967.What a year.Great to be young back then.
This is when music was music...
Hippie music was so groovy in it's day. I lived in the hippie days. Was a fun era. So very different from today . If you lived back then seems like yesterday but so long ago in our minds. The music cars fashion was so very different too. Miss those 1960s cars fashions and music. Sure alot of the hippies out there miss those times too.
fucking millenials ruins the world
Mark david chapman. The fat yankee.nutjob Didn t miss too many times
Yeah the music fashion even the people all was different. The way things were back in the 60's 70's we had it made man, this generation nowadays haven't a clue what it was about then. Nothing can compare to back then man. Psychedelic it was music fashion even the drugs man. Miss the trippy day's man all the Psychedelic shit. Hippie than and now always Barefooted That's my hippie shoe's man lol. Tie Dye and bleached Bell-bottoms with patches it was such a beautiful groovy Era was back than to man. Still grooven hippie here loven life.
the hippie era still lives in Key West(FL), it's said by the authors living there, still writing between parties & smoke ins.
@@denisepalagonia317 Most hippies grew up and got 'proper ' jobs !
I was 12 in 1966 and for about two years this psychedelic music filled my mind (even though I wasn't dropping acid; hell puberty was freaky enough). I loved everything about it, especially how oblique the lyrics could be. For my money, the greatest psychedelic song is "White Room" by Cream
Tomorrow Never Knows
White Rabbit
Also, anything Hendrix. He wrote overt psychedelic and more subtle stuff that slowly revealed itself as such. That’s genius.
It's Amazing how the 60s Hippy, Flower Power, Free Love Era was A Control Programme helped with LSD and Music to Lead majority of Unconscious people down a certain path and most still don't know it was all done for a reason DJ Mark Devlin Explains....
@@billd9667 Somebody To Love ✔
The. 60s was a state of mind that. Only people who experienced it will ever understand but nothing will ever make a generation say fuck you. Why should we do what you say
I remember so much of the things that happened in the late 60's thru the mid 70s. I'd like to go back and do it again.
That's funny, 'cause there is a lot that I don't remember.
Thank you for remembering Syd Barrett, Steve Marriott, and others.
11 to 13 yrs old then great music of the times. Made my teen age yrs easier. I played a lot on stereo.
Was great to play in my room
Lost a few greats in music then.
God i wish i was that young again
Great collection. I realized how much I love psychedelic music even though I was only a little kid when these songs came out. RIP Jimi, Janis, Jim M, John, George H, Dennis, Carl, Ronnie Laine, Brian Jones, Paul K & the other greats who brought us the music. Peace out ✌️
Hello Nina, how are you doing?
You forgot John Lennon? One of the prolific song writers of all time! RIP 🤔🇬🇧👍
@@keen2b ?? take another look mate :-)
I LOVE PSYCHEDELIC ROCK! I LOVE PSYCHEDELIC BANDS! I LOVE PSYCHEDELIC ERA!
Malmsteen996 I LOVE PSYCHEDELICS
Malmsteen996 I fucking love LSD sounds
+Dario Scotti what sounds? what the language you fool!!
what are lsd sounds? I did my share of lsd back in the day and never heard that term...but it's all good
Soul is better
No 13th Floor Elevators!! Slip Inside This House...Is the most psychedelic song you'll ever come across...just the lyrics of the song send you off onto an amazing trip...Epic song from one of the most underrated bands of the 60's.
Right on! A couple missing: Wind cries Mary, Lemon Pipers' Green Tambourine
As was already commented, without Slip Inside this House, by the 13th Floor Elevators, this list doesn't seem complete. And perhaps,the most trippy of Beatles songs, I Am The Walrus, wasn't included!!! Although, Tomorrow Never Knows, and Lucy in the Sky are... yeah!
And Green Tamborine is a better fit than several songs on this list, maybe... Penny Lane ?
And Where is What Condition My Condition Was In?
Well... it's still a fun list, I gotta admit. I don't need to get crazy critical. So thanks and thumbs up for a really good effort. Take my comments as just suggestions for more great music :)
The elevators were early innovators of head music and never got the credit deserved . The drugs and drug charges contributed to their disappearance from the scene. Finding their original records is getting increasingly difficult,there are some good reproductions but not for all of there albums.
I was going to make the same comment until I saw this .. sadly, not many folks outside of Texas or California even know of the Elevators. But then, no videos of this tune, either, that I know of. R.I.P. Roky…
That song, that album - so unbelievably good and so far advanced compared to anything before or since - I believe it pushed them right over the edge
Listening to Surrealistic Pillow right now andi I can say this recording survived the sixties.Have it on LP, CD and Flash Drive!
I believe I have every one of these original LPs. Man, it's making me feel so old.......
And then some I bet
The Beatles song credited as Tomorrow Never Knows is truly She Said, She Said. Both are from the album Revolver.
@DD dunn ?
@@Manus912 Mr Fernandes is correct. The text says "Tomorrow Never Knows" but the song in the video is "She Said, She Said". Both are on the same album, Revolver, and both are great psychedelic songs.
Still amazed by all the hits the Beatles and Doors put out within a 3 year span..
Always TThought the Beatles were top dogs, still do.
I saw the Doors when I was 15....OMG! They cast a spell over the whole auditorium.
Its crazy how fast the world moved then. Going from 1960 to 1970 was like being on another planet.
@@deepgardening where did you see The Doors perform?
Great mix 🥰 I also think of ....
Season Of Loving ~ The Zombies
Green Eyed Lady ~ Sugarloaf
Country Joe & The Fish - Rock & Soul Music *live at Woodstock HD
Fire - The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown
Season Of The Witch ~ Donovan
The Rain, The Park & Other Things ~ The Cowsills
Venus (Shocking Blue) & Green Tambourine (Lemon Pipers) need to be on this list.
"2000 Light Years From Home" The Rolling Stones #1 forever!
but stones suck.
Toilet music. I mean that in the French term. lol
Velvet Underground - Venus in Furs and The Doors - When the Music is Over. These should definitely be included.
Some of my favorite songs period, thank you! I discovered most of these in the 1980s after growing up in the 1970s. We had a treasure trove of 60s material. Now I feel like I'm running out of music to listen to.
These songs are so sweet and happy! =) They make me nostalgic of an era I never lived. I'll revive it in my mind.🌻Hi to all the former hippies here! I wish I was one of you!
"I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in", Kenny Rogers started out as a rock singer and had a hit with that song with "The First Edition". It was the definition of a psychedelic acid trip.
Actually it is my favorite Kenny Rogers song.
The dude abides
Kenny Rogers FAILED as a Rock Singer
R.I.P Kenny Rodgers.Tell it all Brothers.
I still waLK AROUND THE HOUSE SINGING IT!
An exceptionally creative period for music. I can’t see it happening again.
Really a great feat incorperating In A Gadda Da Vida in a 12 mins clip ! 😁
I grew up in that era and have to say the music was all about the aural experience of the songs and that's exactly what you are spoiling here !
Great to see The Doors on this list...thank you so much for putting together a great selection of songs.
Yardbirds - Happenings Ten Years Time Ago (1966)
Cream - Tales of Brave Ulysses (1967)
John Mayall's Bluesbreakers - The Supernatural (1967)
TALES OF BRAVE ULYSSES IS THE ULTIMATE PSYCHEDELIC SONG BY THAT GROUP BUT MY FAVORITE WAS THE CHAMBERS BROTHERS TIME HAS COME TODAY AND NOT THE SHORT VERSION BUT THE EXTRA LONG EXTENDED VERSION THAT WAS 14:55 SECONDS LONG.
Weird Old Uncle Kenny : Cream - Tales of Brave Ulysses was featured in Buffy the Vampire Slayer S03E06
In my opinion, " Legend of a Mind " by the Moody Blues is pretty psychedelic. 😍
Nights in white satin?
The whole of In Search Of The Lost Chord and a few others.
Hell yes. The song is a trip all by itself.
No other song can touch A DAY IN THE LIFE by The Beatles......
My father took The Electric Prunes' LP Album Cover, in Los Angeles. I wish they were still playing... Las Vegas is a good annual place to see Famous 1960's Celebrity Artist. Thanks, for the memories!
That’s awesome!
The fact that 'Tomorrow never knows' by 'The Beatles' was not on here is shocking.., especially since it's more psychedelic than most of these songs...
Pretty great selection. 🌹
The Doors are my favorite band; Break On Through belongs here, even more than The End.
Crystal Ship was also psychedelic rock.
"End of the Night"
'When the Music's Over' should definitely be there
Boy, do I miss this music! There's nothing like it today!
What no Donovan? He was one of the biggest psychedelic rock singers of the sixties. Every time I drink a Mellow Yellow I think of that song Mellow Yellow. That’s right Slick.
You beat me to it. Hurdy Gurdy Man, Atlantis.
All of us familiar with donavan knows that dude made some great music
Electrical banana
Donovon
@@ginnywhat5777 I don’t think he created it but he was a major part of that genre and to leave him out would be like leaving Johnny Cash out of country music.
Stoned Soul Picnic (1968) by Laura Nyro. Or her psychedelic blues 'Poverty Train' which she performed at Monterey 1967 in between the sets of The Byrds and Jefferson Airplane.
El sonido que lograron para la época los Beach Boys ...fue extraordinario ....la armonización de las voces y su justo acompañamiento del instrumental sí que está se robe el protagonismo de la interpretación .Realmente buenos ..y nostalgia al escucharlos .
Any early Pink Floyd album was entirely psychedelic ...Piper at the Gates, Saucerful Full of Secrets, Atom Heart Mother, ...even Meddle
No surprise.. They are labelled as a psychedelic rock group
Definitely

A Saucerful of Secrets
Careful with that Axe, Eugene
Cymbaline
Fat Old Sun
Atom Heart Mother Suite
Main Theme (from more)
Cirrus Minor (IMNSHO, their most druggy song ever)
Embryo
Sysyphus
The Narrow Way
Astronomy Domine

It was Love,Sex,Drugs and Utopia.YEAH,MAN,YEAH.We were Sky High living in Dream World.I call all
the young people let’s go back to those times.Life was so Simple.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Jimi Hendrix, the best guitarist ever out of 250 guitarists this year he is still number one and the good news is all of his music is released finally
Hey Nathaniel Jordon, many of the greatest music memories for me . GREAT JOB....
Fantastic selection, glad you included Pictures of Matchstick Men and Incense and Peppermint (beginnings of Psychedelic music)
From My College Days!...WOW. Hendrix...Eight Miles High...Incense & Peppermints...Doors...Chambers Bros...Iron Butterfly...Too Many More!!!
The Chambers Brothers, “Time Has Come Today” was one of the best songs of the 60’s.
Just saw this, excellent choices!
all this music from the past, sure helped the present day. They say don't live I in the past. Let go of the past. I say no, I love visiting the past,,! Anyone with me!? :-) hehe but im for real
Visit, shape yourself on your roots. Nothing wrong with a visit. Those who ignore the past are doomed (?) To repeat it.
I am with you
trippy words man....heavy..heavy stuff man...like I'm seeing reality with your words and it is so very heavy yet it's cool man...visiting the past is never in my past man...I can't get past the past and it's all a gas man..
Rebeccah Gentry Anyone who doesn’t mine music of the past, all styles and eras, does not really know and appreciate music.
right there with ya, Rebbeccah
Cheeres from Kona
Moody Blues? Legend of a Mind, Timothy Leary
I’m 37 n I’ve been into trippy music since I was 15 n only a few months ago I found the moody blues !!!! I always loved knights in white but I never got the cd cause we always said we didn’t wanna ruin it soo we’d just wait to hear on the radio. Ahhhh man was I ever pissed days of futures past and the lost chord are now one of my favorite albums ever !!!! (Along w threshold ). Now I’m like trying to find more !!!! 1967 was a amazing time for music holy shit !!!!! The shit nowadays is just untalented garbage!!!!
@@mr.selfdestruct3101 Totally agree with you! I turned 38 last week, same story. The year 1967 is one of the best in music. Very creative musicians in that era. Checkout Procol Harum too. Roflol for your knights instead of nights 😄
Totally agree, one of the great LSD songs. Don't believe there's a better one.
Mrselfdestruct listen to some Traffic and the Nice from that era. There was too much good music to choose from, it was a great time to be young.
If you include Moodys it would have to be Thinking is the Best Way to Travel.
I thought White Rabbit was the best damned song, all of these were amazing..growing up in the 60s and 70s was the best time ever
Thank you so, so much for the compilation of sixties legends. Growing up in the sixties I remember all of that truly great music which means a lot in today's convoluted mess. Those musicans really had messages in their songs.
Excellent job
"I don't know where ,but she sends me there"...best line ever in rock
..great lyric...best line ever? Errrr.....
I was 10 years old in 1966. I do remember most of these songs through 1968. Good times and trouble times in that decade.
"In agadda da Vida" from Iron Butterfly
@@towaritch I had that on 8 Track Tape in 1970 or 1971. Right around the middle of the drum solo "click" (pause) "click" and continue listening to the music for those who remember 8 Track Tape players.
This is a great collection. I'd add that Psychotic Reaction by the Count Five and Open My Eyes by Nazz would make excellent additions.
I was just going to suggest Psychotic Reaction, that's a great song.
Wow. I thought I was the only one with nazz lps.
Long Live Rock n Roll! 🤘
I never really thought of "Good Vibrations" as a psychedelic song. Still reminds me of happy beach days.
Beach music
Uh, no
Why is Tomorrow Never Knows by The Beatles not on the list?
If anything defines this genre of music, it's that track.
The track never ceases to amaze me, fifty years later!!
Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix are more trippy
Third song on the list misidentified as "Tomorrow Never Knows" (0:49-1:12); is "She Said She Said" clip. Both songs are from "Revolver" album.
not to mention "It's All Too Much"
And Rain of course. Recorded during the Revolver sessions and arguably the first.
The reason is that Google didn't find it in his one hour trip when he thought of doing this video.
This is a very good list. I was delighted that you included Pink.Floyd's See Emily Play! No one is going to fault you because you didb't include one song, but if I were putting together a Psychedelic Songs List, The Yardbirds' Shapes of Things would be on it. Cheers!
He could of done more phycedelic floyd, interstellar overdrive should of made it
Where Pink Floyd left Psyrock in the 70s Tangerine Dream picked it up.
@@pizzaman4385 Don't forget Astronomy Domine.
I was lucky enough to have lived during this period when some of the best music ever produced was written/performed.
..very surprised the Grateful Dead didn’t make the list.
Excellent picks ! Thanks much ! I was there .... 16 in '66
The Yardbirds should definitely be on this list!
THIS WAS THE PRE HEAVY METAL ERA THIS MUSIC REFLECTED THE TIMES AND TURMOIL YOUNG PEOPLE FACRD THEN!!
