i cant understand how anyone can disagree with the beatles having the biggest impact. even in terms of psychedelia the beatles are the band that elevated this sub-genre to the public conscious. considering the terminology "psychedelia" in a musical context has been around since the Holy Modal Rounders in 1964 it wasnt until the release of sgt. peppers in 1967 that it became a mainstream phenomenon - much like nevermind did for grunge.
