@@darthwhiskips8222 He absolutely did not, nothing he made was groundbreaking or even very influential at the time, his work gained more of a cult status later on, mostly cos of how big PF got after he wasn't in the group. The best thing Syd ever did for the Floyd was leave, cos if he didn't Gilmour couldn't have stepped in.
I agree Nicolas. The MB's were progressive. I am surprised the list didn't include The Cowsills, who had more hits in the psychedelic genre than most of the above mentioned groups combined.
They (Moody Blues) DID at least 3 albums of psych, though, hence the inclusion. I've only found 5 songs by The Cowsills that were psych....and at least 2 of those are dodgy.
@@RedVynil Moody Blues have been called 'Progressive Rock' from the very beginning. The group only drifted into Psych fleetingly (dodgy as you would call it), but were still called a progressive rock band. Take it from a fan since 1967....

They must look on a map of england and see they only an inch off london they must be londoners there is only one word for those people and that is fuckwits
All the songs played of Pink Floyd here are of the progressive rock Genre: the true Pink Floyd sound. Before these songs they had amazing Psychedelic numbers : See Emily Play, Astronomy Domine, Set the controls, Atom heart Mother, Be careful with the axe, Remember the day.... and the ultimate psychedelia...Interstellar Overdrive!
Thank you, most people calling themselves Pink Floyd fans only know their later catalogue. Their 60s stuff is my opinion alot more interesting and gets way too little appreciation!
Pink Floyd's major contribution to this genre is, in my opinion, 'Piper at the Gates of Dawn'. Not only one of the greatest psychedelic albums but also one of the great albums to come out of the 60's period.
Well syd was gud but ...pink Floyd lead their journey after him on their own...and in this vid they showeed Wish u were here which was a tribute to syd barret...
King Crimson are one the greatest progressive bands, i dont think they could be in a psychedelic bands lists but i recognize you can have a GREAT trip listening to prog, because psychedelic rock later in '70s kinda transformated into prog, so they're like brother genres
Guess not. Which sux because that's the best music I've heard in my life which is saying A LOT. I guess no body really does care about music the way I do. Disappointed.
I never really knew how much influence the 13th floor elevators really had, I only really heard stories of how my great uncle had been a guitar player in the band and kind of brushed it off as a local phenomenon, come to find out they were actually pretty widespread
LSU GAMING Hey I agree with you about Floyd who also heavily influenced Radiohead (who also not on the list) But a band that actually gained Floyd's nod was a band called Soft Machine! Don't believe me, check out 1968 concert in France by Soft Machine!! Quite sure you'll agree! But Floyd definitely takes the cake, especially the Syd Barrett days!
There are some first albums of Pink Floyd, with psychedelic elements. Pink Floyd is the band who created space rock! The Beatles had a small psychedelic period, between 1966 and 1968.
My list Jefferson airplane The doors Amboy dukes Pink Floyd The Beatles The Youngbloods Stawberry alarm clock Electric prunes Cream The byrds Jimi Hendrix
THE CHAMBERS BROTHERS, TIME HAS COME TODAY. THE LONG EXTENDED VERSION OF THEM PERFORMING IN BLACK AND WHITE AT THE FILMORE IN 1969 AND THAT CLOCK RACING BACKWORDS AT A MILLION MILES AN HOUR ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHER WACKED OUT NOISES WAS A REAL MIND BLOWER.
AstraL Prod. On my last trip I started out listening to Maggot Brain and ended up blasting Gojira for some reason. I remember the video for The Cell was kinda cool.
Saiconautas what is so? Do you mean, “what is it then?” Kevin Parker is Tame Impala. He plays, records, produces and masters all his albums with help from no one. Obviously one person can not play everything during a live setting so he brings his friends to play. But again, Tame Impala is not a band. It’s a person and a project
check out the crazy-fun "stoner-prog" bands in the New England underground. from JERUSALEM WITCH to DICK FLACCID & THE VIAGRA-NAUTS, to THE SCHIZOPHRENIC HUM to NOPE (yes parody band!) to KC & THE 21st CENTURY SUNSHINE BAND (all-disco king crimson covers!!?)... rock is so boring these days, the stoner-prog bands are a ray of hope...
Pink Floyd is definitely number one but you totally forgot King Crimson. BTW, I was a Floydian ever since I saw them live in 1968. Never missed a tour since then.
If you omit the word psychedelic from your statement would be closer to the truth,they were only a psych band when Syd was there and for a short time after
@@ianwilkinson4602 Thats what they say but they had all been changed. I stopped taking Acid in the late 80's but its effects on me never went away. Take one hit of weed and I am SAILIN in my unconscious mind and tranced out in away it never was before I dropped UC Berkekey produced LSD of the highest quality. I use that trance to create my own acid Rock music in my studio. Glad I tried it even more happy I stopped early on. Don't need it any more and the same is true for PF. No other band had as many stoned fans than the Floyd and they, the Beatles, the Doors, The Grateful Dead and the Jefferson Airplane who were the worlds premier Acid Bands and with Hendrix my favorite music. Other personal favorites inc Bach , Mozart, Parliament Funkadelic, Cab Calloway, Bowie, Sparks, Talking Heads, kd Lang, Led Zeppelin, Nas, Beastie Boys, and 3rd to 5th LP Slayer for my hard rock fix! Music rules!
I went through the Pink Floyd Discography. It's like one big acid trip. They started off as like a Beatley sounding band with a lot of weirdness mixed in, this is the beginning of the trip. 2nd and 3rd album get a bit weirder, most parts of the 3rd album seem kinda empty, yet so unique that they made less look like "More". 4th album is like the peak of the trip where the best thing they could come up with is random piano notes, loud organ strikes, animal noises, and a flute introduction to a fucked up drumming ceremony thing. After that is where they have AHM and Meddle, heavily psychedelic yet very acoustic and pleasing. There's a great precursor to the greatest album of all time, Obscured by Clouds, Then once it hits Dark Side, they just explode into a heavily immersive and long trip out where you're having the time of your life and the music is the best it's ever been; The middle of the trip. This trip lasts until The Wall, and after The Wall, it kinda starts to wear off and fizzle out, where their music is very much so still beautiful, but it seems more organized and not as intense. Toward the end they still have that unique touch of Floyd psychedelia, but it's like the trip is over, and the music sounds sober, yet with intense knowledge of a trip, and still remains beautiful. But it's like a gentler beauty that doesn't seem nearly as good as the Dark Side era.
I swear they mention Pink Floyd as the best psychedelic band but they play wish you were here. Like they missed their most psychedelic songs like Breathe or Any Colour you like.
Cynthia Merritt Yh ik that. That's not what I'm saying. Wish you were here was more prog rock. The Dark side of the moon was more psychedelic. So watchmojo should have focused on that instead.
LpmedVH No but songs like Breathe and Any Colour you like (from TDSOTM) are probably some of the best psychedelic songs of all time. So they should have included them.

Pink Floyds A saucer full of secrets !! Thats Psychedelic
Man. Before I watch the video here's my personal top 10 ranked on trippiness. Coming from a psychonaut and psych-rock junkie. 10. Jefferson Airplane 9. Buffalo Springfield 8. Crosby, Stills, Nash AND Young 7. Country Joe & The Fish 6. The Beatles 5. Led Zeppelin 4. The Doors 3. Jimi Hendrix 2. Grateful Dead 1. Pink Floyd
Could have given honorable mention to Iron Butterfly, King Crimson, or Spirit even, altho i do agree Pink Floyd is #1. They make me trip even without the acid.
Best Psychedelic songs in my opinion: 1. Embryo 2. Julia Dream 3. If not this time 4. White Rabbit 5. Echoes 6. Interstellar Overdrive 7. Dazed and Confused(live version) 8. No Quarter 9. See Emily Play 10. Tubural Bells - live, not really psychedelic but mind blowing
+ChristianTheChicken yeah fair enough, mind you i listened to every single album up to the wall on my first trip i dont remember much but Echoes distinctively stood out and hit me hard words cant really describe it,
In all fairness, Echoes is pretty damn psychedelic. Not Syd, but psychedelic all the same. This channel tends to mostly show what is most popular and what most people will be familiar with, i.e. they also chose She Don't Use Jelly to exemplify the psychedelia of The Flaming Lips, so... there ya have it lol
Jackilly Stuff >thinks correcting grammar or spelling is an actual argument when it has nothing to do with the topic at hand >is so analcrusaded by this one minute comment that he feels the need to reply in such a manner cause fuck life, right?
Pink Floyd deservedly number 1. There was no other choice. Greatest band of all time. Was also surprised and glad to see Tame Impala and Animal Collective (even though the latter was just an honorable mention) make the list. 2 of my favorite bands around today.
YES THE ELECTRIC PRUNES A girl showed them to me, I was older than her by a good bit and I’d never met anyone who could show me something I didn’t know from the sixties. She was 19 years old and she showed me the Electric Prunes. I’ll never forget it, my goodness.
The Electric Prunes (Too Much To Dream) were very short-lived but had a very unique sound ... all their own. The Iron Butterfly was a band I was sure would be on the list, but wasn't even in the honorable mentions.
somecrippled619 I do really like Unknown Mortal Orchestra ,MGMT, Flaming Lips, Tame Impala, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Black Angels, Jacco Gardner, Malachai, Jackie-O Mother******,& a lot of the more modern stuff as well but the first bands pioneered this genre and no one else has quite done it as well IMHO - though some come very close.
Opaque Visions Kind of hard to lump them together really because they are just different sounding eras. What Mojo should have done is 2 videos: Classic Psych. Bands & Modern Psych Bands. There we go... problem solved.
How can you talk about psychedelic music without Iron Butterfly. I am an old hippy from the day, and there was few bands that could stand up to them. Where is Blue Cheer, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Grand Funk Railroad, Vanilla Fudge, Strawberry Alarm Clock, The Electric Prunes, Big Brother and the Holding Company, and Moby Grape in their list? I was there!
What about the British ones you haven't mentioned?The Yardbirds, The Small Faces, Hawkwind, Soft Machine, Donovan, The Status Quo, The Hollies, The Move etc
My list (don't take it too seriously folks): 1 - Jimi Hendrix Experience 2 - The Beatles 3 - The Doors 4 - Jefferson Airplane 5 - Cream 6 - The Moody Blues 7 - Pink Floyd (arguably stopped being psychedelic after '69) 8 - Grateful Dead (don't really know much about them) 9 - 13th Floor Elevators 10 - Tame Impala Seriously, it's a watchmojo video, what did you expect?
1. Tame Impala 2. Pink Floyd 3. Cream 4. Doors 5. Jimi Hendrix Don't know about the others To me, tame Impala stands out as an artist keeping the psychedelic genre alive. We have more and more tools available to create the best psychedelic music, and Tame Impala uses that to their advantage. I must say, though, that only Innerspeaker and Lonerism were psychedelic albums (which is, to say , that they havent made true psychedelic music since 2012).
@@theirishfox612 they were psychedelic for 5 years, the entire second half of their career. And all their most well known material is rubber soul onward, I don’t see how you can deny they were a psychedelic band.
I like em a lot more than Floyd. Floyd's just too depressing man. For ex., I'll take "SWLABR", "World of Pain", or "Dance the Night Away", "Strange Brew", "I Feel Free", "NSU", over all that "Vera" type stuff any day.
Astronaut of Bohemia You should listen to their first album! Look up the "Arnold Layne" video on YT. Also, the song "See Emily Play", as well as "Bike". They only got depressing after Barrett left the band.
Cynthia Merritt bike is from my point of view the silliest song by Pink Floyd. That song is not "depressing", it's awful (btw I don't get why Pink Floyd should be a depressing band)
Iron Butterfly has to be in there. They had the first platinum selling album ever. Still one of the biggest selling records of not just the 60's but all time.
In my opinion, The Doors is a very underrated band nowadays. I mean, I know they're still famous and all, but compared to other bands like Queen for example, I feel like they're more in the background
They are not underrated, they aren’t overrated either, everyone who lives around me, no matter where I go, has heard the doors, people of ALMOST every age, I think they have been appreciated plenty
Some of tame impalas early stuff from 10 years ago sounds like cream, later beatles and santana. Its really worth checking out. Try 'late night moonlight' and 'feelings in the core'
Unvultured Swine Pink Floyd's song Comfortably Numb was on The Wall album, which came out in 1979, years after the Psychedelic era had ended. The Psychedelic Movement was in the late 60's and early 70's. The Syd Barrett days were definitely part of the Psychedelic Movement.
Unvultured Swine Despite the drug reference, the song is about building a wall, isolation, unheard cries for help, and a downward spiral into mental illness.
Angel Deville And the drugs forced upon him in Comfortably Numb play a large role in Pink's transformation into a fascist dictator that makes up the majority of side 4 of the album.
my top pink floyd songs: 10 - if 9 - several species... 8 - careful with that axe eugene 7 - let there be more light 6 - a saucer full of secrets 5 - in the flesh? 4 - astronomy domine 3 - another brick in the wall pt 2 2 - comfortably numb 1 - wish you were here
MNforlife63 mine probably this: 1. Echoes 2. Time 3. Us and Them 4. Comfortably Numb 5. Dogs 6. Wish You Were Here 7. See Emily Play 8. Arnold Layne 9. Another Brick in the Wall part 2 10. Money
It's hard to believe both of you don't have their best two psychedelic songs on your lists - Atom Heart Mother and Shine On! Syd's songs were pretty out there but they showed little craftsmanship compared to the later songs. He was pretty well burnt from the very beginning! Not saying Arnold Layne - See Emily Play - Jugband Blues - Astronomy - Interstellar - Bike aren't good songs - they are - but Strawberry Fields, Tomorrow Never Knows, A Day in The Life, c'mon are you kidding? Those songs not only started the psychedelic era - but near the best songs the era ever produced! Check out - Hawkwind, Faust, Red Crayola, Tangerine Dream, - many others to list - Nektar, Love, Amon Duul, Can, Gong - great psychedelia - but most of them lack the songwriting ability that The Beatles so often displayed.

I don't know how The Moody Blues got on this list. The big ones missing are ......Iron Butterfly - In A Gadda Davida.....Eric Burdon and War - Spill the Wine.....Donovan - Mellow Yellow etc.
ciao wutang Yea they are prog but all their conceptual albums contain psychedelic elements in it. From their lyrical content to their unique time signatures.
Mickey Akerfeels well they are classified as a prog rock band but all their content can be marginalized as psychedelic as well so I think they atleast deserve a mention.
SilverVeil I have to admit I only know De-Loused In The Comatorium, but that one doesn't sound too much like Psychadelic Rock, more like King Crimson meets Alternative Rock. Also, it's hard to compete with a list containing Pink Floyd, The Doors, Kimi Hendrix, Cream, The Beatles and others.
I was thinking the same thing. Their classic 7 albums are perfect to trip too. From Days of the Future Passed, through to Seventh Sojourn, post Pinder it turned into a different genre. I would have put them number one, but that's just me..
No kidding. The overall list was not bad but the song choices representing psychedelia from many were horrible. Wildest Dreams, was one of the worst offenders.
+Dan Corcoran oh definitely it does that's why they called psychedelic rock but you don't have to take psychedelic drugs to understand the Music that was a silly comment
Zach Valencia how you taken them? I mean, you can understand the music. But you can only really feel that same feeling and the vibe by taking the drugs lol It's something you wouldn't know unless you experience it I think
Personal favourites: Pretty things (s f sorrow), 13th floor elevators, Love, Electric prunes, Traffic, Kaleidoscope, Bonzo Dog band, Captain Beefheart, Jefferson airplane, zombies (odessey and oracle)
@@pyro_0074 , yes, I agree that was just one omission (Izno Iznogoud named some others) but there are still a lot of good examples in this documentary and I liked the addition of a few snippets of songs by contemporary Australian psychedelic band Tampa Impala.
@@pyro_0074 They are definitely a contender. Most all their stuff was heavy and psychedelic. I still am flabbergasted that Vanilla Fudge didn't make it. To me they are probably #1 or #2.
1. Syd Barrett 2. The Doors 3. Cream 4. Jefferson Airplane 5. ME 6. Stg. Peppers/ other Beatles songs 7. Jimi Hendrix 8. Iron Butterfly 9. Byrd’s 10. The Yardbirds 11. Little Timmy and the big dookie he took!

True ^
BradLennon Don't forget about the "More" & "Obscured by Clouds" albums.

More prog than psych rock
I had my first trip to King Crimson..seemed fairly psychedelic
King Crimson are one the greatest progressive bands, i dont think they could be in a psychedelic bands lists but i recognize you can have a GREAT trip listening to prog, because psychedelic rock later in '70s kinda transformated into prog, so they're like brother genres

I never really knew how much influence the 13th floor elevators really had, I only really heard stories of how my great uncle had been a guitar player in the band and kind of brushed it off as a local phenomenon, come to find out they were actually pretty widespread
Pink Floyd is honestly my favorite band ever. They fucking rock
Afuckingmen!
Don't you find them more than a bit depressing?
Astronaut of Bohemia that's what makes the music so beautiful, you won't find a band with more emotion within each and every one of their songs
I loved them in the '60's - See Emily Play" was the first song of theirs I heard on underground radio. I was disappointed when it wasn't on "Piper" lp

There are some first albums of Pink Floyd, with psychedelic elements. Pink Floyd is the band who created space rock! The Beatles had a small psychedelic period, between 1966 and 1968.

I love how you use Wish you were here when its not a psychedelic rock song in any way. Good list, agree strongly.
Also, thanks for including Grateful Dead. You forgot MGMT
scrub naks I thought the same thing
Lie Nad what are you talking about? Echoes is their first and IMO best progressive rock song.
scrub naks I though "why 'Wish you were here'"?
They should've shown Piper at the Gates of Dawn since Syd was the most drug orientated member of the band
Where are Iron Butterfly? "In-a-Gadda-da-Vida" is one of the most iconic songs of psychedelic rock. "Butterfly Bleu" is another psychedelic classic.
That's what i said
THE CHAMBERS BROTHERS, TIME HAS COME TODAY. THE LONG EXTENDED VERSION OF THEM PERFORMING IN BLACK AND WHITE AT THE FILMORE IN 1969 AND THAT CLOCK RACING BACKWORDS AT A MILLION MILES AN HOUR ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHER WACKED OUT NOISES WAS A REAL MIND BLOWER.

AstraL Prod. On my last trip I started out listening to Maggot Brain and ended up blasting Gojira for some reason. I remember the video for The Cell was kinda cool.
Hate to be “that guy”
but Tame Impala is not “a band”
what is so
Saiconautas what is so? Do you mean, “what is it then?”
Kevin Parker is Tame Impala. He plays, records, produces and masters all his albums with help from no one. Obviously one person can not play everything during a live setting so he brings his friends to play. But again, Tame Impala is not a band. It’s a person and a project
@@blksheepramirez good point, i think that the list miss united states of america homonym album. and maybe a little of beach boys
@@blksheepramirez Kevin Porter is tame impala. He records everything himself but he has his band learn the music and perform at concerts
Turkey Blaster who’s Kevin Porter? I already stated that sir
Surprised nobody here is mentioning the Zombies: Odyssey and Oracle is easily one of the greatest psychedelic albums ever made.
Agreed. Fantastic album.
ABSOLUTELY! Them and no one is mentioning Donovan either-- Donovan's Mellow Yellow in 1967 is an INCREDIBLY iconic psychedelic album--
Brilliant album

loptiiks :u mainstream shit is annoying
come on, put mainstream aside, have you heard "why won´t you make up your mind?"?
check out the crazy-fun "stoner-prog" bands in the New England underground. from JERUSALEM WITCH to DICK FLACCID & THE VIAGRA-NAUTS, to THE SCHIZOPHRENIC HUM to NOPE (yes parody band!) to KC & THE 21st CENTURY SUNSHINE BAND (all-disco king crimson covers!!?)... rock is so boring these days, the stoner-prog bands are a ray of hope...
New person same old mistakes is my fav
Alfre Mz anything from tame impala is mainstream
Pink Floyd is definitely number one but you totally forgot King Crimson. BTW, I was a Floydian ever since I saw them live in 1968. Never missed a tour since then.
Without a doubt Pink Floyd is the premiere Psychedelic band.
If you omit the word psychedelic from your statement would be closer to the truth,they were only a psych band when Syd was there and for a short time after
@@ianwilkinson4602 Thats what they say but they had all been changed. I stopped taking Acid in the late 80's but its effects on me never went away. Take one hit of weed and I am SAILIN in my unconscious mind and tranced out in away it never was before I dropped UC Berkekey produced LSD of the highest quality. I use that trance to create my own acid Rock music in my studio. Glad I tried it even more happy I stopped early on. Don't need it any more and the same is true for PF. No other band had as many stoned fans than the Floyd and they, the Beatles, the Doors, The Grateful Dead and the Jefferson Airplane who were the worlds premier Acid Bands and with Hendrix my favorite music. Other personal favorites inc Bach , Mozart, Parliament Funkadelic, Cab Calloway, Bowie, Sparks, Talking Heads, kd Lang, Led Zeppelin, Nas, Beastie Boys, and 3rd to 5th LP Slayer for my hard rock fix! Music rules!
I went through the Pink Floyd Discography. It's like one big acid trip. They started off as like a Beatley sounding band with a lot of weirdness mixed in, this is the beginning of the trip. 2nd and 3rd album get a bit weirder, most parts of the 3rd album seem kinda empty, yet so unique that they made less look like "More". 4th album is like the peak of the trip where the best thing they could come up with is random piano notes, loud organ strikes, animal noises, and a flute introduction to a fucked up drumming ceremony thing. After that is where they have AHM and Meddle, heavily psychedelic yet very acoustic and pleasing. There's a great precursor to the greatest album of all time, Obscured by Clouds, Then once it hits Dark Side, they just explode into a heavily immersive and long trip out where you're having the time of your life and the music is the best it's ever been; The middle of the trip. This trip lasts until The Wall, and after The Wall, it kinda starts to wear off and fizzle out, where their music is very much so still beautiful, but it seems more organized and not as intense. Toward the end they still have that unique touch of Floyd psychedelia, but it's like the trip is over, and the music sounds sober, yet with intense knowledge of a trip, and still remains beautiful. But it's like a gentler beauty that doesn't seem nearly as good as the Dark Side era.
Your comment deserves more thumbs up. The big trip.
Guitarmaster7272 wow great comment definitely needs more thumbs up
I swear they mention Pink Floyd as the best psychedelic band but they play wish you were here. Like they missed their most psychedelic songs like Breathe or Any Colour you like.
Varun Bhattacharyya The song (entire album) was a tribute to Syd Barrett
Cynthia Merritt Yh ik that. That's not what I'm saying. Wish you were here was more prog rock. The Dark side of the moon was more psychedelic. So watchmojo should have focused on that instead.
Varun Bhattacharyya Ah, sorry. I agree with you there
Cynthia Merritt Haha no worries
LpmedVH No but songs like Breathe and Any Colour you like (from TDSOTM) are probably some of the best psychedelic songs of all time. So they should have included them.
Pink Floyds A saucer full of secrets !! Thats Psychedelic
It's not that of a great album
WHAT ABOUT SYD BARRETT
Glaring omissions: Quicksilver Messenger Service, Country Joe & the Fish, Bonzo Dog Band and Everpresent Fullness. Oh yeah - and Syd Barrett...

After 50 years, I'll come back and watch this video again. Watching David Gilmour play the WYWH intro will make me cry. 🥺
PINK FLOYD FOREVER!
SYD BARRETT SWEETIE I'M SO SORRY...
Don't think he would care
*cough* *cough* pink floyd
😔
he's not a band...
Could have given honorable mention to Iron Butterfly, King Crimson, or Spirit even, altho i do agree Pink Floyd is #1. They make me trip even without the acid.
I wouldn't consider King Crimson psychedelic, more prog.
Yeah King Crimson were more pure prog. May as well list Yes, Genesis or ELP.
I'm just happy Tame Impala is here.
I know right!
Yes
fuck them
Deafening Echo you know Kevin Parker is badass when he can be put in the same top 10 as the beatles, hendrix, cream or pink floyd...

4. White Rabbit
5. Echoes
6. Interstellar Overdrive
7. Dazed and Confused(live version)
8. No Quarter

10. Tubural Bells - live, not really psychedelic but mind blowing
Nice playlist
I think The End by The Doors would make a nice edition to that list
Lazar Ristic Pat's song by Country joe and the fish.
echoes from flyte?
I would assume "Echoes" from Pink Floyds album Meddle. The album prior to Dark Side of the Moon and the first one produced by Alan Parsons
>"Pink Floyd"
>plays none of their actual paychedelic songs
cause fuck syd, right?
+ChristianTheChicken yeah fair enough, mind you i listened to every single album up to the wall on my first trip i dont remember much but Echoes distinctively stood out and hit me hard words cant really describe it,
In all fairness, Echoes is pretty damn psychedelic. Not Syd, but psychedelic all the same. This channel tends to mostly show what is most popular and what most people will be familiar with, i.e. they also chose She Don't Use Jelly to exemplify the psychedelia of The Flaming Lips, so... there ya have it lol
Exactly my point!

Pink Floyd deservedly number 1. There was no other choice. Greatest band of all time.
Was also surprised and glad to see Tame Impala and Animal Collective (even though the latter was just an honorable mention) make the list. 2 of my favorite bands around today.
Pink Floyd 💙
Strawberry alarm clock , 13th floor elevators and love
Strawberry Alarm Clock, Electric Prunes, Small Faces, Crabby Appleton, Arthur Brown, Hawkwind,
Jefferson airplane
The doors
Amboy dukes
Pink Floyd
The Beatles
The Youngbloods
Stawberry alarm clock
Electric prunes
Cream
The byrds
Steve miller band.
YES THE ELECTRIC PRUNES
A girl showed them to me, I was older than her by a good bit and I’d never met anyone who could show me something I didn’t know from the sixties. She was 19 years old and she showed me the Electric Prunes. I’ll never forget it, my goodness.
Pink floyd started as a psych band during the Syd Barrett era and ended up as a prog rock band
The list was made too early to include serious reference to King Gizzard
My 3 favourite psychedelic bands are jimi hendrix experience, led zeppelin and pink floyd
Same
mine is the Beatles,jimi Hendrix and the doors, and pink floyd
nice
Mine are Cream, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin
+Christoffer Lundén these couple are enought
The Electric Prunes (Too Much To Dream) were very short-lived but had a very unique sound ... all their own. The Iron Butterfly was a band I was sure would be on the list, but wasn't even in the honorable mentions.
Ikr
What about Amboy dukes journey to the centre of the mind or Stawberry alarm clock Inscense and peppermints? Or youngbloods get together?
If you’re going to have the Moody Blues, at least play their best psychedelic song, Legend of a Mind (aka Timothy Leary’s Dead)
Agreed, and also true for most of these examples. Some sound like pop songs instead. .
Agree
Absolutely agree!,,,
Honestly, i feel like pink floyd turned prog later on. If you're talking early floyd, then it is a deserved number 1.
robbafett Yep, after Syd left, from Dark Side onward, they became way more prog rock.
Miss ya syd.
Agree, but shouldn't have been #1. Around #5
They're pretty much psychedelic till "obscured by clouds"
robbafett Prog Psychedelic? I mean Echoes the song is prog, but its def. psych too.
Needed more moden bands mixed in like mgmt or flaming lips glad tame impala made it
Animal collective was there
somecrippled619 I do really like Unknown Mortal Orchestra ,MGMT, Flaming Lips, Tame Impala, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Black Angels, Jacco Gardner, Malachai, Jackie-O Mother******,& a lot of the more modern stuff as well but the first bands pioneered this genre and no one else has quite done it as well IMHO - though some come very close.
Opaque Visions Kind of hard to lump them together really because they are just different sounding eras. What Mojo should have done is 2 videos: Classic Psych. Bands & Modern Psych Bands. There we go... problem solved.
somecrippled619 Tool most def.
None of the bands they make today are psychedelic in a way. They're just stupid sappy love songs.
How can you talk about psychedelic music without Iron Butterfly. I am an old hippy from the day, and there was few bands that could stand up to them. Where is Blue Cheer, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Grand Funk Railroad, Vanilla Fudge, Strawberry Alarm Clock, The Electric Prunes, Big Brother and the Holding Company, and Moby Grape in their list? I was there!
What about the British ones you haven't mentioned?The Yardbirds, The Small Faces, Hawkwind, Soft Machine, Donovan, The Status Quo, The Hollies, The Move etc
Good list there
Even the Beatles at No6,they started it
I agree with you, and not the Mojo list. How about King Crimson? I would not include Cream - I think of them as a rock-blues band like LZ.
Mark Allred blue cheer and iron butterfly are the two best imo!
My list (don't take it too seriously folks):
1 - Jimi Hendrix Experience
2 - The Beatles
3 - The Doors
4 - Jefferson Airplane
5 - Cream
6 - The Moody Blues
7 - Pink Floyd (arguably stopped being psychedelic after '69)
8 - Grateful Dead (don't really know much about them)
9 - 13th Floor Elevators
10 - Tame Impala
Seriously, it's a watchmojo video, what did you expect?
1. Tame Impala
2. Pink Floyd
3. Cream
4. Doors
5. Jimi Hendrix
Don't know about the others
To me, tame Impala stands out as an artist keeping the psychedelic genre alive. We have more and more tools available to create the best psychedelic music, and Tame Impala uses that to their advantage. I must say, though, that only Innerspeaker and Lonerism were psychedelic albums (which is, to say , that they havent made true psychedelic music since 2012).
You’re out of your mind if you think tame impala is better than any of those bands.
The Beatles were only Psychedelic for about 3 years tho
@@theirishfox612 they were psychedelic for 5 years, the entire second half of their career. And all their most well known material is rubber soul onward, I don’t see how you can deny they were a psychedelic band.
LOVE.....Forever Changes
and where is Procol Harem?
OK...I can agree with Floyd......Still WHERE IS THE BAND "LOVE"
Absolutely love Forever Changes (one of my favorite albums) but their other albums are not so psychedelic & that's why they're not on list.

The Lizard King is my one and only. This was my top 10 favorite. Thank WatchMojo
"This is the end, my beautiful friend!".
Ruben Avalos "my only friend...the end"
"Mother, I want to..."
Yeah, let's forget about that one.
JohnDanielTorrance hahahhaa oh Jim.
JohnDanielTorrance Let's not... Most of our sick society's problems can be summed up by those words... Then again, The Lizard King can do anything ;)
Cream should have been WAYYYY higher.
True words, my friend.
+Coda 20097 I don't know if they can top Pink Floyd, but they are better than bands like The Doors without a doubt.
I like em a lot more than Floyd. Floyd's just too depressing man. For ex., I'll take "SWLABR", "World of Pain", or "Dance the Night Away", "Strange Brew", "I Feel Free", "NSU", over all that "Vera" type stuff any day.
Astronaut of Bohemia You should listen to their first album! Look up the "Arnold Layne" video on YT. Also, the song "See Emily Play", as well as "Bike". They only got depressing after Barrett left the band.
Cynthia Merritt bike is from my point of view the silliest song by Pink Floyd. That song is not "depressing", it's awful (btw I don't get why Pink Floyd should be a depressing band)
I'm not sure about some of these, but you really got it right on number 1. Pink Floyd is Awesome!!
The Doors are the best.
Great opinion!
shut the doors
Mystic Rain absolutely agree
Nothing it s just an expression i heard in "bad teacher" and that makes me laugh, =D
Pink Floyds the best but The Doors for sure second
What about Strawberry Alarm Clock and Iron Butterfly?
and Amon Duul II and early Soft Machine.....
Indagadadavida
Exactamente
Greateful dead????, 😂😂😂Jajajaja
Donde está Iron Butterfly
Donde está Strawberry Alarm Clock
The Doors are the best band. They opened up a lot of doors (no pun intended) for artists today
True
Indeed they are the best band my friend.
Floyd beats them any day
@@laynescooby9784 nopee not true :D
R u dumb of course u intended the pun if u typed that after
Alvin Lee Ten Years After - Religion, Alvin Lee Ten Years Later - Devils Screamin, Zombies - Time of the Season
Janis Joplin with Big Brother and the Holding Company is #1. Listen to their Cheap Thrills album. Best psychedelic rock ever!
I used to listen to that over and over when i was eight and read the comics on the whole album for hours.
iron butterfly
Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon was Billboards top 100 albums for 24 years. A record that will never be broken.
Surely agree!!
Pink Floyd are the best I rockband ever! (Among with the Beatles)
David Gilmour and 'Comfortably Numb" is probably one of the best lead guitar solo's ever played.
Yes also Gilmore's searing solo in time really butters your brain as it takes you over the top
Iron Butterfly has to be in there. They had the first platinum selling album ever. Still one of the biggest selling records of not just the 60's but all time.
In my opinion, The Doors is a very underrated band nowadays. I mean, I know they're still famous and all, but compared to other bands like Queen for example, I feel like they're more in the background
agreed
Agreed. Most people get side tracked and just talk about Jim Morrison and forget to mention the great music!
Cuz Freddie died of AIDS and they had a movie
They are not underrated, they aren’t overrated either, everyone who lives around me, no matter where I go, has heard the doors, people of ALMOST every age, I think they have been appreciated plenty
Queen are really over-rated !that's why!
Some of tame impalas early stuff from 10 years ago sounds like cream, later beatles and santana. Its really worth checking out. Try 'late night moonlight' and 'feelings in the core'
You talk about psychedelic Pink Floyd songs and don't even mention Syd Barrett or Comfortably Numb? Shame.
If they showed all their good songs it would be an hour long lol.
Unvultured Swine Pink Floyd's song Comfortably Numb was on The Wall album, which came out in 1979, years after the Psychedelic era had ended. The Psychedelic Movement was in the late 60's and early 70's. The Syd Barrett days were definitely part of the Psychedelic Movement.
Angel Deville Yeah, but Comfortably Numb still fits the genre. Hell, the song is about the album's protagonist getting drugged out of his mind.
Unvultured Swine Despite the drug reference, the song is about building a wall, isolation, unheard cries for help, and a downward spiral into mental illness.
Angel Deville And the drugs forced upon him in Comfortably Numb play a large role in Pink's transformation into a fascist dictator that makes up the majority of side 4 of the album.
my top pink floyd songs:
10 - if
9 - several species...

9. Another Brick in the Wall part 2
10. Money
Several species..... how?
It's the most fucked up shit I ever heard.
It's hard to believe both of you don't have their best two psychedelic songs on your lists - Atom Heart Mother and Shine On! Syd's songs were pretty out there but they showed little craftsmanship compared to the later songs. He was pretty well burnt from the very beginning! Not saying Arnold Layne - See Emily Play - Jugband Blues - Astronomy - Interstellar - Bike aren't good songs - they are - but Strawberry Fields, Tomorrow Never Knows, A Day in The Life, c'mon are you kidding? Those songs not only started the psychedelic era - but near the best songs the era ever produced! Check out - Hawkwind, Faust, Red Crayola, Tangerine Dream, - many others to list - Nektar, Love, Amon Duul, Can, Gong - great psychedelia - but most of them lack the songwriting ability that The Beatles so often displayed.
Surprised Shine On You Crazy Diamond wasn’t on there, definitely my ultimate favorite

+Zach Valencia if you think TVU has only 2 or 3 good songs, you dont have appreciation in music.
+Sheperd Egg56 I ignorantly made a comment about the velvet underground I listened to more of their stuff and it's good
I know they're maybe too young but Tame Imapala should be at least fifth
naaahhh... buncha transmen...
in my opinion this is a best psychedelic rock band video, not just a best psychedelic band. though you did need the psychedelic rock to get to where we are at now
MGMT is a really good Psychedelic band!
Amazing Somehow fr have u heard their newer song little dark age? So good! 80's vibes!!
yeah agree, maybe it would have been a good idea to divide between 60´s psychedelic and new.. Foxygen, Demarco, amen dunes of course, splash, and all of that rock`n`roll is not dead stuff like beach fossils, also dope things
Amazing Somehow yes papi
check out the crazy-fun "stoner-prog" bands in the New England underground. from JERUSALEM WITCH to DICK FLACCID & THE VIAGRA-NAUTS, to THE SCHIZOPHRENIC HUM to NOPE (yes parody band!) to KC & THE 21st CENTURY SUNSHINE BAND (all-disco king crimson covers!!?)... rock is so boring these days, the stoner-prog bands are a ray of hope...
Yeeeeeeesssss!!!!!
When talking about Psychedelic Bands The Rolling Stones one off album Their Satanic Majesties Request is always worth mention. very trippy.
I don't know how The Moody Blues got on this list.
The big ones missing are ......Iron Butterfly - In A Gadda Davida.....Eric Burdon and War - Spill the Wine.....Donovan - Mellow Yellow etc.
Where's *The Mars Volta* at?
SilverVeil I've always thought of The Mars Volta as mainly progressive rock band.Though,I guess they have some psychedelic elements.
ciao wutang Yea they are prog but all their conceptual albums contain psychedelic elements in it. From their lyrical content to their unique time signatures.
Mickey Akerfeels well they are classified as a prog rock band but all their content can be marginalized as psychedelic as well so I think they atleast deserve a mention.
SilverVeil More prog rock
SilverVeil I have to admit I only know De-Loused In The Comatorium, but that one doesn't sound too much like Psychadelic Rock, more like King Crimson meets Alternative Rock. Also, it's hard to compete with a list containing Pink Floyd, The Doors, Kimi Hendrix, Cream, The Beatles and others.
Funkadelic definitely deserves a mention here. Their first three albums are psychedelic masterpieces. 👽🚀🛰🎶
WHY ARENT KING GIZZARD AND THE LIZARD WIZARD ON THIS LIST
They were barely known when this was made
yea same thiaught
Because they are pedestrian schlock Neo Psych on the same level with Tampon Impala
because it's top 10
So glad The Moody Blues are included, though Your Wildest Dreams is a bit of a strange song choice to showcase their "psychedelic" side.
Agreed
I was thinking the same thing. Their classic 7 albums are perfect to trip too. From Days of the Future Passed, through to Seventh Sojourn, post Pinder it turned into a different genre. I would have put them number one, but that's just me..
Really there are better song choices from them
Dylan Rollins I know! I saw that and was like, Ummm wtf?
No kidding. The overall list was not bad but the song choices representing psychedelia from many were horrible. Wildest Dreams, was one of the worst offenders.
If you've never taken a psychedelic drug, you will never truly understand what it means for music to be psychedelic.
Not true at all psychedelic rock is a music genre you can tell who's part of that genre
Go tell that to Frank Zappa since he hated drugs and got an "honorable mention"
+Zach Valencia it has a distinct effect on you though
the music, the vibes
it creates an energy in you that is different from any other experience
+Dan Corcoran oh definitely it does that's why they called psychedelic rock but you don't have to take psychedelic drugs to understand the Music that was a silly comment
Zach Valencia how you taken them?
I mean, you can understand the music. But you can only really feel that same feeling and the vibe by taking the drugs lol
It's something you wouldn't know unless you experience it I think
Personal favourites: Pretty things (s f sorrow), 13th floor elevators, Love, Electric prunes, Traffic, Kaleidoscope, Bonzo Dog band, Captain Beefheart, Jefferson airplane, zombies (odessey and oracle)
I do like what you have stirred up here. Got me really thinking about some great bands. Thanx for that.

But Iron Butterfly? Its one of the best bands
@@pyro_0074 , yes, I agree that was just one omission (Izno Iznogoud named some others) but there are still a lot of good examples in this documentary and I liked the addition of a few snippets of songs by contemporary Australian psychedelic band Tampa Impala.
@@pyro_0074 They are definitely a contender. Most all their stuff was heavy and psychedelic. I still am flabbergasted that Vanilla Fudge didn't make it. To me they are probably #1 or #2.
