1960's mainstream performers who never went Psychedelic

Venus in Furs

 

The Searchers

 

The thread title says turned, not started as........

 

At the time in 67 or whatever, I considered "Susie Q" and "Keep On Chooglin'" to be very psychedelic. Any time you could get a 4th string, 7th fret A note to start feeding back for five or ten minutes, you definitely weren't playing jazz.

 

No: Rude Awakening #2. The opening 2 minutes is great. But the rest was the only misstep that CCR ever did (prior to Mardi Gras):



Arnie

 

Hmm... A stretch! Sure it's got that baroque opening, but the effect is fading by the chorus, and totally lost by the time of the spoken word bit.

 

Louie Armstrong?

 

What's psycodelic on that song? It's just pure sado.

 

Have you ever heard Revolutions Per Minute (parts 1 & 2)?

 

Jerry Lee Lewis?

 

It's a drone like Tomorrow Never Knows or See My Friends

 

I think there's a hidden message on "what a wonderful world"

 

Patsy Cline? Jim Reeves?

 

Heroin? If that isn't psychedelic I don't know what is.

 

Why?

The VU are the very opposite of psychedelic - heroin (naturally) and addiction as against LSD and tripping.

 

Dean Martin

 

Sgt Barry Sadler?

 

No, thankfully not until I just took a listen on youtube- Never heard it before.

 

I stand corrected - better than the original too.

 

Actually, I guess I did hear, but forgot about it as its on the singles collection- which I have...

 

I think you need to look at the history of drone and John Cale's part in it before comparing to other songs and making assumptions about it being part of psychedelia.

 

Willie Nelson?
