[Back One Out]

I loved these hippies from Sydney... Such a great live band

 

[Back One Out]

I nominated this previously and got not love

Sweet tune & vid for anyone with the patience to listen & get into it

Thanks for posting that one ... I kept seeing the Steve Miller Band referenced as a psychedelic act, and though confused I'd never gotten 'round to checking out the sound of their earlier work.

You should listen to the whole of side 1

Each song runs into the next like the Abbey Road medley




Side 2 is not as epic or psychedelic, more bluesy, but I iiked this tune by Boz Scaggs

 

[Back One Out]

Kicking myself that I didn't nom this>..

Cheers - it's on tomorrow's playlist.

Here's some psychedelic Floyd:

Pretty much anything would be better than 'Us and them'

 

[General Soreness]

Considered this too, given my predilection for nominating 30+ minute tracks.

Did their Oz tour get cancelled recently?

I was going to nom this. Thought somebody else would...





The Buttholes cover version is pretty good...

Thus is a goid round because psychedelica is quite out there and not to usual tastes. Its a bit like EDM where people assume its only listenable whilst ****ed.

Free your minds people.

 

[Back One Out]

Free your minds people.

The kingdom of heaven is within!!!



Classic tune. One of Funkadelic's best.

Makes me think of Apocalypse Now, for some reason. The bridge scene where Lance drops acid.

 

[General Soreness]

No idea! I have a friend who'd be disappointed. Thanks for the heads-up.

 

[ChappyUK]

Love for Tame Impala and King Jizz but no love for Pond

I am disappoint haha.

You did say the artist had to be psychedelic

I even looked that album up to try to let it slide as well.

I was also tempted to nominate that.

Now you've hit the moment that crushed me in this whole nomination process. Ween as a band weren't anywhere near that psychedelic classification

I thought about nomming a different Donovan track but was discouraged by the fact that the last time I nommed imo his best track, with guitar by possibly the GOAT Jimmy Page (pre Zepplin) I got three botes .

Gotta disagree on this one - if only for philosophical rather than musical reasons. I'd happily exchange the (protestant) interiority ("the kingdom of heaven is within") of that piece with the more accurate (IMHO) phenomenological observations of:



"I was cool ... but I had no groove" (strongly implying an ongoing fit between agent and world as opposed to a static image of 'grace'.)

 

[General Soreness]

Haha! Well that's nice to know. I dropped it as a nomination as I wasn't up to constructing an argument for stoner metal being psychedelic, just in case it was needed.

Strangely enough though, I was quite prepared to do that in the case of Boredoms.

I think there is an argument to be made.
I can think of some Kyuss that qualifies.

JayeffinC, did someone really nom a sub-3 minute version of In A Gadda Da Vida?! That's billy material right there.

Exactly, 17 minutes or GTFO.
