    Thanks for the "flashback" to the best times of my life. I turned 16 in Nov. of 1965 and bought my first car 2 days afterward. 1966 Mustang Fastback with the 289 HiPo engine. Not only did these songs remind me of how great the music was back then, it also made me remember all the good times I had during that era as well as the good friends I had back then. At least to some degree. After all, it's been said that if you remember the 60's and 70's, you did them all wrong. Evidently, I did them right. Sadly, those times are gone as are all of the friends I had back then. I have outlived them all. Now, at 75 yrs. old, I have nothing left but memories but I still have the great music to listen to.

    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

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 .

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.

Also, do a search on RUclips for "13th floor elevators live 1966", and check out the KAZZ FM and the Avalon Ballroom shows. They were, indeed, the first American psychedelic rock band. They formed and came up with the name of the genre in December 1965.

    Really well thought out bunch here, thank you. The nicest surprise was Mr Fantasy because i don't think i would have ever put it in the psychedelic genre, but it totally belongs. And, i dare say, Voodoo Chile (slight reprise) is arguably the most iconic (best?) psych song ever. Well, i guess the "original" Voodoo Chile (at 14 minutes long) is MORE psychedelic ... if only it wasn't so interminably unlisten-to-able. Good work digging up the actual performance videos too .... i had never seen the Electric Prunes one. Groovy.

    Pretty good list Nathaniel. Top Lists of songs are very subjective. If I re-made your list here I would include most of these. These were my high school years, so I grew up with this stuff. The one glaring omission is "Legend of a Mind" by The Moody Blues. Mike Pinder is the one who turned on The Beatles to the Mellotron which they used in Strawberry Fields. Just an FYI for you.

    To think many of these were A.M. top 40 staples back in the day. WLS radio (chicago) was actually progressive rock music for a few years. Then along came F.M. and things got real interesting, while songs got longer and in stereo. Nice post.

    • @dadoctah
      @dadoctah 6 лет назад +2

      What gets me is that at the same time these songs were on the Top 40, so were things like "Harper Valley PTA", "Strangers in the Night" and "Ballad of the Green Berets". It's hard to explain a musical landscape like that to someone today.

    Pennylane and Crimson and Clover, are great songs, Pennylane is one of the very bests of 1967 but I don't see them psychedelic songs. I'd change them, and put "Astronomy Domine", of Pink Floyd, and Tales of Brave Ulysses, from Cream. The rest is OK.
