Lorraine Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 An example of psychedelic music that should never have been written... http://youtu.be/VOk2T6Uweao I love that song! Had the 45 too. Yeah, I did have the 45. I was twelve years old when the song came out. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 How about The Chambers Brothers? No one ever talks about them here. I had two of their albums. Loved them!! They came around just as psychedelia was on its way out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

custom55 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) My first introduction to Psychedelic music was with the Moody Blues / Days of Future Past and Jefferson Airplane / Surrealistic Pillow, back in 1967 ( THANKS SIS !!! ). Oh, I saw Jorma Kaukonen last Saturday in NJ so I'm still following the psychedelic music scene. Here... Jorma is 75 y.o. !!! http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w276/custom55/Image_zpstj8xh7rg.jpg Edited March 9, 2015 by custom55 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Custom, was your sister a Moodies fan back then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 And speaking of the Moodies, their "Legend Of A Mind" kind of was the swan song to the era. Timothy Leary told Ray that the song made him more famous than anything else he ever did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat 3 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Pet Sounds sounds like pop perfection to my ears. The Beach Boys released the best album released in the sixties, and possibly ever, with Pet Sounds. A very special album to me. I couldn't agree with you more. A perfect album that transcends time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat 3 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 some do some don't. Pet Sounds whicvh was in that era sounds unbelievably dated to me. Mick The Beach Boys always sounded dated, even when they first came out. Simply because Brian Wilson was so inspired by The Four Freshmen of the 1950s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat 3 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 The first two albums by The Alice Cooper Group (Pretties For You and Easy Action) are both overlooked psychedelic rock gems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They came around just as psychedelia was on its way out.Time Has Come Today... good stuff I know that song, and I know of the Chambers Brothers by name, but I didn't know that was their song. That's one of those songs that is just instantly recognizable. It stands out; has a distinct sound. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen him live a couple of times, back in the mid '90s. I'll assume that this past weekend was not the first time you've seen him- when was the first time? Either solo or with a band.

The Beach Boys released the best album released in the sixties, and possibly ever, with Pet Sounds. A very special album to me. It's not exactly "pop" music in the sense that most people use it. It was considered surf music and a throwback to the 50's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H. P. L. Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Now now dear Lorraine, if Goober was here you'd have gotten a 75000 words dissertation on the thing in 10 seconds flat... :lol: :lol: I love psychedelic music because it's a window in time, it takes me to that time when I wasn't there, so in a way it takes me to a time of my imagination, filled with images from movies or music videos or books I've read. It's a going back to a place I've never been and a place that it's not like it was.I'm trying to think of a psych record that doesn't sound dated but I'm having a hard time coming up with something. The thing that dates most JA is probably Spencer's drums, while Jack and Jorma are virtually timeless... On this note, here's what happened to me not so long ago: I always thought and still think that Quadrophenia still sounds fresh and modern, it's really a timeless sound, so one day we needed some background music for a job and I said to my younger (waay younger) collegue, take a listen to Quadrophenia (the song), he did and replied: man, I dunno, that guitar sounds so... old!!I was sad for the rest of the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good one, HPL! Did you ask your young co-worker why the guitar sounded "so...old"?As a matter of fact, yes I did. He said it was the "waaaaaaa", which by that I think he meant the wailing, high pitched, "crying" guitar sound in the "Love reign over me" theme.Now, I love SO MUCH that theme that I always considered impossible that someone might find it too high pitched or anything, for me it's one of the most perfect guitar sounds ever... but to each his own. I think we ended up using some "contemporary" music. One other time, we needed a background song for a website. It had to be young, punky, sparky but not too much. I suggested "Substitute". I got the reply: "They sing too out of key". We ended up using a Pixies song.From then on, my golden rule has been: keep The Who out of the job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Wish I could sing out of key like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
