Most Psychedelic Album

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

Poll question: Most Psychedelic Album

[Screaming Lord Byron]

1. Psonic Sunspot by the Dukes of Stratosphear.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

12. This thread was a ploy to get you to recommend something - HA!!!

I have won.

[XNASA]

19. Or perhaps the "Chips from the Chocolate Fireball" anthology.

Then there's no deciding between the two Dukes albumx.

[rlpincus]

29. Touch

Their one and only album. By far, the greatest psych album of all time. If you haven't heard the glory of Side 2--including the aptly named Severnty-Five-- you are missing a brilliant cultural signpost.

[flakey_foont]

2. All choices are worthy contenders, but

I go with "Electric Music for the Mind and Body" by Country Joe and the Fish

[Waistdeep]

31. I agree!

Do you know when I heard it first? At the 1967 March on Washington D.C. It was also the first time I consumed a well known herbal music enhancer. What a day that was.............

[demnan]

3. I picked the Dead

Perhaps their best record.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

22. Aoxomoxoa was VERY psychedelic as well

[blindpig]

38. my choice as well, though

it NEVER should have been remastered in 71 as much of the trippyness was lost. Other major contenders: Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band, Strictly Personal and Lothar and The Hand People, Space Hymn.

[Magrittes Pipe]

4. The United States of America

[ET Awful]

5. Greyfolded -

Which was compiled using "plunderphonics". What it amounts to is a seamless melding of about 150 different versions of Grateful Dead Dark Star jams into one super long 90 minute instrumental Dark Star.

:)

[eyesroll]

6. Of the ones I've heard, "Piper."

I bought that one in the used bin for $1.

[teach1st]

7. So many albums

How about Country Joe and The Fish, Electric Music for the Mind and Body?

EDIT: Oops! Somebody beat me to it!

[GOPisEvil]

8. We need some 13th Floor Elevators in there somewhere.

:D

[ret5hd]

20. isn't that guy still living in the dallas tx area?

i think his name is roky erickson, isn't it? Last i heard he was still alive, with a great deal of mental problems, living with his mother in dallas.

[GOPisEvil]

25. He makes appearances every now and then here in Austin.

Not sure where he lives, though. He is MUCH better now.

[hobbit709]

27. Roky

He's living in Austin, away from his mother who made his problems worse by taking him off his meds. He's got a band and they're rehearsing.

[ret5hd]

32. excellent news...

thanks GOPisEvil and hobbit709. that's good to hear. he is a very talented man.

[argyl]

54. Either "Easter Everywhere" or "The Psychedelic Sounds of The 13th Floor

Elevators" should be considered. My favorite is "Easter Everywhere." "Slip Inside This House" is a true classic.

I've heard Roky is doing much better and has been for a number of years.Great to know.

I saw him a number of years ago(early 70s) in Austin at a festival on the outskirts of town called The Hill on the Moon.Willie Nelson was the main act but it was also billed as a comeback for Roky.The show itself was plauged with too much bad acid as well as a number of lowlifes looking for trouble and seeing poor Roky on stage going through a full blown schizophrenic episode puts this event at the top of experiences I'd just as soon have passed on.

Anyway,here's to a happy life for Roky,a gentle soul who's seen more trouble than anyone should have to.

[Wilber_Stool]

9. Vanilla Fudge

First album.

[bif]

10. You forgot Gong

The trilogy is way out there.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

13. I REALLY like Gong

those were some frizeaks!

[flakey_foont]

15. The Pot Head Pixies

[teach1st]

11. And psychedelic in an East Village sort of way:

The Fugs: It Crawled Into My Hand, Honest

[demnan]

26. Oh my God, the Fugs!

I haven't thought about them in years!

[blindpig]

37. when The Red Angel comes

and the TV is cold
will you pray in the dark
for the rest of your soul?

When you lie in the dour death coma
Do you think that you're going to heaven, Johnny?
With a violent heart?

Did I get that right? It's been a long time.

[teach1st]

46. Perfect!

I sit alone in the bar
Drinkin' Scarlett O'Haras
I'm kept aroused by the boxing gloves
Enough to punch out fags
Don't startle me by sudden noise
Cuz I'll stomp all over you
And I love it, I love it, I love to fight

And hey, mister.
Tell all the niggers my name is Johnny
Johnny Pissoff.

Last night, had a dream
Of a gook-head skeet-shootin' mama
And the Red Angel was a scoldin' me
And a callin' my name
I woke up all sweating
My Derringer in hand
I have a hand-grenade lighter
And a burp-gun under the bed

And hey, mister.
Tell all the commies my name is Johnny.
Johnny Pissoff.

I'd love to get my hands on Sirhan Sirhan
I'd rip out his spine and shove it down his throat
Today I cut some frogs legs off
And I left them by the pond
But I'd never kill the president
But I kill him in my dreams

And hey, mister.
Tell all the draft card burners my name is Johnny.
Johnny Pissoff

They showed me yesterday
On the TV set
How the cowboys used karate
Hippies parade for freedom
I hear next seasons' Cowboys gonna
Kick each others crotch
Hell, I nearly had to kill a bunch of peace queers
Sunday mornin', holdin' signs outside o' church
Ain't no pink fag legislature gonna
Say I can't have guns

And hey, mister.
Tell all the whole wide sky my name is Johnny.
Johnny PISSOFF!

When the Red Angel comes
And the TV is cold
Will you pray in the dawn
For the rest of your soul
When you lie in the dour death coma
Do you think you're gonna go to heaven,
Oh Johnny,
With a violent heart?

(Are you ready Johnny? I'm the Red Angel.)

Ahimsa, oh Johnny, ahimsa.
In the spinning confusion, ahimsa.
In the flood of life, death, and torture
Ahimsa, ahimsa, ahii-iii-ii-iimsa
Ahimsa is the seashell of Buddha
Ahimsa is the rose and the lamb

When the Red Angel comes
And the TV is cold
Will you pray in the dawn
For the rest of your soul
When you lie in the dour death coma
Do you think you're gonna go to heaven,
Oh Johnny,
With a violent heart?

-Johnny Pissoff Meets the Red Angel (Ed Sanders)

[livetohike]

14. I voted for Axis Bold As Love but

Electric Ladyland can't be beat!!

[DBoon]

33. I think "Are You Experienced" was more psychedelic

But Axis is a better album

[Beware the Beast Man]

16. "Piper" is by far my favorite.

[mac56]

17. "Forever Changes"

Amazing album.

[Magrittes Pipe]

21. Best album ever.

At least we can agree on this record! :D

I don't think of it as particularly "psych," though. Just brilliant.

[DemExpat]

18. My pick: Moody Blues - In Search of the Lost Chord

DemEx

[fudge stripe cookays]

23. "Seance" - The Church

For a combination of "It's No Reason" and "Travel By Thought."

The only time I ever did acid, this was part of the soundtrack.
FSC

[jukes]

24. certified bunker music

"disraeli gears" cream


"tales of brave ulysses" was definitive.

[No Mandate Here.]

28. Spirit: "Spirit" -- played quite loudly. <nt>

[jpgray]

55. That's a very solid album

Not a single crappy track, although "Elijah" I could do without.

[Norbert]

30. What! No David Peel and the Lower East Side?

Voted for the Stones anyway.

[DBoon]

34. Symphonie Fantastique by Hector Berlioz

Yeah, it was about an opium adventure, but it is still very psychedelic

[jukes]

35. Berlioz

1 of my fave classicists, had no idea he was an "O" head. very cool!

[RandomKoolzip]

36. "Twin Infinitives," Royal Trux; "Close to the Edge," Yes....

"The Soft Boys 1976-82," The Soft Boys; "Dear Friends," The Firesign Theatre.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

39. You forgot the Tranqs, baby!

[Magrittes Pipe]

40. Who are they? Some sort of bullshit "white power" band?

:shrug:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

41. Like I said before - they are a "white powder" band

[noonwitch]

42. "Surrealistic Pillow" by Jefferson Airplane

Before they got lame and changed their name to Jefferson Starship.

[On the Road]

43. "A Small Package of Value Will Arrive for You Shortly" --

personally I would have nominated "Dragonfly" or "Crown of Creation," but I chose the Jefferson album nominated.

Too bad their visibility has waned -- they were too politically radical and too into drugs to stay in the spotlight.

[Tikki]

44. Three from the '80's paisley underground....

Salvation Army......."Happen Happened"
The Unclaimed......."Primordial Ooze Flavored"
Green on Red........."Green on Red"

[peaceandjustice]

45. Sonic Youth or Flaming Lips

Either Sonic Youth's A Thousand Leaves or Flaming Lip's Zaireeka, or Tranmissions from the Satellite Heart

[Screaming Lord Byron]

47. Nah, older Sonic Youth, maybe Sister or EVOL.

[arlib]

48. Hawkwind...

Space Ritual. With Lemmy in the lineup, Nik Turner, Dave Brock, Stacia and the rest.

[Chomskyite]

49. My recommendation

Weather Report's I Sing the Body Electric.

I'd also say Miles Davis' Bitches Brew, especially disc 2

[johnnie]

50. Pretty Things

"S.F. Sorrow"
I thought it was pretty wild anyway.

[arlib]

53. GREAT lp!!!

A real classic, psychedelic or otherwise.

[sundog]

51. The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld

[jpgray]

52. Piper wins this one (nt)

[Dzimbowicz]

56. Are you familiar with

the "Nuggets" collection, Vol 1 (American) and Volume 2 (The British Invasion and beyond...)?

[mark414]

57. Olivia Tremor Control

Dusk At Cubist Castle
