Psychedelic rock evolved in the 60s as an offshoot of the
rock and roll movement combining elements of
rock,
reggae, and other diverse elements. Involving the use of mind altering drugs
like
cannabis, mescaline, psilocybin, and especially LSD, psychedelic rock broke with
traditional rock and laid the roots for
psychedelic metal and
experimental rock genres.
In the USA bands like the Vanilla Fudge, Grateful Dead, and Jefferson Airplane
lead the way for later bands like 13th Floor
Elevators, Bubble Puppy, and Third Bardo to name a few. A few years later The Who and The Beatles
picked up on the psychedelic movement with tunes like Lucy in the Sky with
Diamonds and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band to name a few but were not
technically classified as psychedelic rock. Cream and Pink Floyd embraced
psychedelic music fully becoming two of the first truly psychedelic band.
More recently band Kula Shaker released an album influenced by
Indian music and psychedelic rock called peasants
pigs and astronauts. English band Anomie are part of a new genre of garage
psychedelia which is becoming popular. Ambient and trance music owes a great
debt to this genre as does
psychedelic metal
of
bands like Masters of Reality, Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age.
