Favorite psychedelic albums?

Murder of the Universe by King Gizzard, and Orc by Thee oh Sees. 

BQ I love the art associated with it and it inspires me to make my own art. I also like how it's not afraid to get weird. 

BQ2 Psych-rock

BQ3 Good! More music!

BQ4 Neo-psych forever. It makes me wanna party.

I have so many. I'll limit it to 10....

Pink Floyd - The Piper at the Gates of Dawn

Red Krayola - The Parable of Arable Land 

Quicksilver Messenger Service - self-titled

Spirit - Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus

Ultimate Spinach - Behold and See

Blue Cheer - Vincibus Eruptum

Aphrodite's Child - 666 (The Apocalypse of John 13/18)

H.P. Lovecraft - self-titled

The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots

Hi Brandon!

MA. King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard- Flying Micro tonal Banana; Elephant Stone- Elephant Stone

BQ. When a Sitar is used or has some eastern influence

BQ2. Stoner Rock/ Desert Rock

BQ3. Some of the best songs are the ones that take the listener places in their minds

BQ4. Personally I have grown out of the old-school. In that sense, your last three suggestions really do connect personally.

eh, I don't listen to psychedelic music to have psychedelic sensations. Perhaps the closest thing to generally understood psychedelia is Carbon Based Lifeforms (try a random album, "Hydroponic Garden", "Derelicts", "World of Sleepers", "Interloper").

Q1: the floating sensation

Q2: psybient

BQ3: psychedelia is everywhere

BQ4: I'd like to approach it well, so starting from the old school, things you're mentioning here, Can, Tangerine Dream, Gong, etc. (and I think the 'kraut section' is the one I might prefer, maybe).

The original and most obvious 'Trip Out' album has to be for me 'Pink Floyds'

'Dark side of the Moon' all those alarm clocks and till noises on 'Money' WOW

Primal Screams 'Screamadelica'  is ground breaker in the genre(I think).

But for me the most trippy album I've got is by the german/dutch? group

Jam and Spoon and their album 'Kaleidoscope'

TRIPOMATIC FAIRYTALES. its 1991 again(Bliss).

Great Question.

"What are your favorite psychedelic albums? Here are a few of my favorites:"

Jimi Hendrix - Axis: Bold As Love

Hawkwind - Hawkwind

Captain Beefheart - Safe As Milk

King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King

Can - Future Days

Shape Of Despair - Illusions Play

Soft Machine - Third

BQ: Its not really something I seek out specifically. I do listen to lots of music though that has elements of Psychedelica. 

BQ2: Cant say. I dont really listen to it specifically as a genre. 

BQ3: It also crossed over with soul. The Temptations on their later albums from the late 60s and early 70s would sometimes sing about drugs and have trippy sounding instrumentation. 

I could see it crossing over into those other genres you mentioned, but in all honesty I hear more elements of it in Drum & Bass and Techno than I do in Rock. This observation excludes bands like My Bloody Valentine, Spacemen 3, and The Stone Roses. I cant speak for anything else because I dont like much Shoegaze, Space Rock, or Britpop outside of those 3 bands respectively. 

BQ4: Neither as I dont really hunt down musice specifically because it is Psychedelica. Rather, I go for music that I am going to like sometimes it may have traits of Psychedelica. 

Pink Floyd - Piper At The Gates Of Dawn

The Grateful Dead - Anthem Of The Sun

Jefferson Airplane - After Bathing At Baxters

Traffic - Mr Fantasy

Cream - Disraeli Gears
