RYM's top Psych Pop releases! |
Some Classic Examples
|
Some modern examples of psych pop that expound on the genre in various ways.
|
A handful of modern favourites.
|
And now that I've broken all of your computers as well as my own; a smattering of my favourite psychedelic pop band.
I've been waiting to get this out of my system for a long time. |
Got to have your Prunes of the Electric kind! |
While I'm on that kick for songs from 1967-released albums, which my Electric Prunes pick was actually from (Underground, a MIGHTY FINE album), here's one from the good Blues Magoos album Electric Comic Book. With a touch of G-Punk Power, there's a touch of killer pop hooks and snarls all wrapped up in one Psych pop classic. |
The 'Nez wrote this classic nugget that wound up on the excellent Pieces, Aquarius, Capricorn, and Jones, Ltd. album. The Moog bits top it off nicely. |
Possibly among the sparks of the Neo-Psychedlia, here's the finale to Deface the Music. |
Utopia's song brings this to mind. From the classic tribute to the era masterminded by XTC. |
I may be choosing more Rock based stuff, but I hope I'm on the right track.
That said, Syd Barrett was solid with the Pop Hooks that GRABBED you. Technicolor Sound, Black and White Footage...pretty rare stuff (until it got You Tubed) |
You want Pop? Here's Psych-Pop from the Pop Side of the spectrum. The Gibbs had a sharp instinct of knowing what trends to catch for their style. My favorite era was certainly the Bee Gees 1'st-Odessa era.
|
One last one (for now...). Pure class! |
Now that my computer has finally recovered from being brokeded, I'll post some more youtube videos to break yours.
Some strawberries Some colour Some patriotism Some kraut |
Some Mods...of the '66 kind
|
Some Painter Men. |
...and some Traffic! |
|
So are some psychedelic songs that aren't pop?
|
The Beach Boys: Good Vibrations (1966).
|
wow you guys have really covered this well
but i have to add all of these just for the simple fact that i was introduced to the psychedelic experience by them :) they are not exactly known for "pop" music but this song hits the nail on the head lets see groovy psychedelic beats, a song title which is an obvious reference to LSD, a video of one of the members on said drug but Psychic TV really takes the cake for great psychedelic pop |
Post-70's psychedelic pop.
Tears for Fears: Sowing the Seeds of Love (1989). Quote:
|
So I'm curious, what's the difference between modern psychedelic pop and neo-psychedelia?
Anyway, this. |
A lil bit of Mod Psych:
My favourite Yeasayer track: From a famous commercial but never really followed up on the band after this track: The superlative Electric Banana: |
With a total of 31 clips, I get the feeling you like psych pop, Pedestrian :)
This group wasn`t much more than a one-hit wonder, their reputation now overwhelmed by another group with the same name. If you`re ever disappointed by the level of discussion on MB, take a look at this guy from the Youtube page, explaining why Kurt Cobain`s voice sounds so different on Rainbow Chaser:- Quote:

Fun fact: My computer blue screen'd today while I was playing back the videos on the first page.
So uh, be warned. |
Jan wrote it, Dean sang it. Interesting move. Could have fit a number of Exploitation films perfectly (and that's a compliment coming from me. I love those films.) |
What's a Psych Pop thread without one of the legends of The 60's Sunset Strip? |
As there's room for some Neo-Psych Pop here... One from Cope's 1983 "Sunshine Playroom" EP. The World Shut Your Mouth-Fried era is classic. |
A classic from Fried! I think I still have that 2 7" edition of that single. (did a LOT of moving around recently...) |
i think this song and the entire album is severely underrated:-
from "Their Satanic Majesties Request" as is this one:- |
More Sunday Satanic Majesties Music for you...

Although it's complete version is a Pop Psych masterpiece, it's best experienced in the film. Head still remains one of my all time favorite films. |
Pretty shocked no one has mentioned these guys...
