    Your favourite psychedelic rock track ever (pick one!)

    My fav is Metempsychosis by Arzachel (1969)




    A dirty, noisy, spacey, experimental and timeless psychedelic rock track. And also, I'm a big fan of Maestro Hillage.

    I picked up Morte Macabre-Symphonic Holocaust a week or two ago,and the title track keeps finding its way to my cd player.Right now,this tune is my favorite psychedelic track.*

    The tune takes a while to achieve escape velocity, but, man, when it does............

    My favorite psychedelic track starts with the first note of Alone Again Or and ends with the last note of You Set The Scene.

    I'd have to pick "The Ballad of You & Me & Pooneil" from After Bathing at Baxter's.
    Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.

    I thought about picking some obscurity to show how much knowledge I have, but decided to go with the actual song fits best. :-)

    I'm not lazy. I just work so fast I'm always done.

    Tough to pick just one, so I'll go with one that I used a few years ago when I was fiddling around with Windows Movie Maker for the first time.

    This would make my top five for sure. I love the proto metal guitar in the middle.

    I don't think I've ever seen that era of Yes described as psychedelic before but I suppose if 21st century schizoid man is psych sure why the fuck not?

    "Electrallentando" by H.P. Lovecraft, I think.

    Alternatively "Wind Cheetah" by Tyrannosaurus Rex (it nearly brought my mushroom voyage to the end of flat Earth), "Song for Our Ancestors" by the Steve Miller Band, "The Fool" by Quicksilver Messenger Service or the entire side 1 of Dead's Anthem of the Sun.

    Or the entire debut album by Groep 1850 - or WHAT THE HELL?!! Pick one, he said. There's never just "one". Even f'n Hitler wasn't alone, or as Brecht said of Alexander the Great: "He conquered all of Persia on his very own, did he? He didn't even bring a cook?"

    What's so psychedelic about a flight to London?

    Phew! Didn't know that it was that good, especially the drumming. (I had to put up with Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody on my flight to London.)

    I Just listened to the entire unedited version of Green Eyed Lady by Sugarloaf. Sure it was a pop song, but it has its moments. Either that or Inagadadavida - live version.

    i used to play in a cover band that did unedited versions of both Green Eyed Lady and Inagaddadavida, along with Journey To The Center Of The Mind and 7 & 7 Is, damn those were some good times.
