Favorite Psychedelic LP from the 1st era (1966-1975)...

The Time Has Come - The Chambers Brothers, 1967.

 

I'll add this one to the list:

 

Can this count?

It's one of the albums I remember listening to while tripping.

 

In the US I'd say the lp overtook the 45 by 1967. Maybe the UK as well, given that Pepper had no singles pulled from it. That said, to me, Michelangelo may be the most perfect psychedelic single ever, and The 23rd Turnoff never cut an album.

 

Well, it ends a long time before 1975, but all three JHE albums would count, IMO.

 

Piper at the Gates of Dawn, handsdown.
Not only is it great, I feel like it seems less dated.
When Syd sings about sitting on a unicorn, it sounds natural, not forced like say Incense and Peppermints for example

 

I have too many favorites to pick one, but Kaleidoscope's Side Trips is a personal topper that hasn't already been mentioned.

 

The Deviants - Ptooff!

 

I must be somewhere between the two

 

I have now narrowed down my two choices to either Ultimate Spinach or The Paupers first album:




But like I wrote before, it's too hard of a question to ask. Should do a Top 5 Psych 45s from '66 - '69.

 

Excluding obviously " Slide Machine" and a few others.Peace.

 

Y

Yes.In The Plain&Your Daily Gift(my fav of those) are good Danish prog-psych.Thanks for post.Peace.

 

The Kinks "See My Friends" is probably my favorite early (July 1965 -- which even pre-dates the OP's era for such) psychedelic song, but for an entire LP it would definitely be:


are you experienced album - Bing images


Have you ever been Experienced?
Not necessarily stoned
But... beautiful.

If you're digging Fugs go to their label mates Godz.Seek out Contact High,Godz2&The 3rd Testament.All excellent on the fringe mid 60s New York Psychedelia. Peace.

 

I have always liked this album but every time I listen to it I end up wishing Big Brother &
the Holding Company was a better band. At times they are embarrassingly bad.
IMHO: First rate vocal talent with third rate back-up band, why couldn't anyone find her an excellent blues band?

 

S

Already mentioned.See my post.P.4 post#16.Peace.

 

Meddle. Mofi pressing

 

That was a nice cover. I wonder who the artist 'Kipps' was and what else he did?

 

Although lacking in musicianship they are the most passionate of any JJ participated in.If JJ had not let Albert Goldman lead her around by her nose and away from her family of San Fran freaks(who DID love her)she might still be alive.Peace.

 

Trower kept up the spacey, tripped out heaviness of Jimi style guitar up until 1975 and LZ did have Kashmir and In the Light for that psych-prog journeying.
Speaking of which, so did some early Journey.

 

another vote for The Ant Trip Ceremony '24 Hours' as my CURRENT all time fave.
A lot of great psych already mentioned and I could live with a lot of these and do.

 

Meddle by Pink Floyd
Their finest hour IMO.

 

For those SHF Members listing 'Meddle', I see it's main song(and my favorite PF Song), 'Echoes' as Space-Rock more than Psychedelic-Rock. Maybe the same for 'One of These Days'. I do not see any of the other songs on 'Meddle' as Psychedelic-Rock. This is just my take on it though, as I think of the Syd Era as the Psychrdelic-Rock part of the Pink Floyd Catalog.. Then with Gilmour on board, there was a shift to Space-Rock, until Waters took over in their last few albums(The Wall & TFC), before he left the band.
