We've got plenty of props going to "stoner rock"... but how about THE ORIGINAL Stoner Rock! Psychedelic/Acid rock... whatever you want to call it... it's awesome!
I picked up a pretty rare comp in a used bin for 10 bucks: It's called Psychedelic Microdots, I only got volume one, but it's great. It's Various Artists, bands like We The People, The Brogues, Nobody`s Children, Fenwyck... etc. I listened to this thing for like 4 days straight!
Stuff like Blue Cheer and Early Frank Zappa too... just insanely good.
Any other fans? Bands I should check out?

When I first got seriously into music, psychedelic rock was what I was about!
A good compilation is the Nuggets set, Its got some good unknown bands.

Oh wait, they started doing that stuff in the '80s. So I guess they are not "old school"  |

Out of curiosity... do they still do shows at all?

Fans of Wino, St.Vitus, Sabbath , and Withcraft would love these guys. They were making psychedelic doom in the sixties when all other psychedelic music was flower power. Their album, Trip Thru Hell, was the only album of its time to include a "blood curdling scream" as an instrument used frequently through out the album. Great band and very ahead of it's time.......too bad they never did more.

Has anyone mentioned Love yet? Or Quicksilver Messenger Service? How about some early Grateful Dead?
Or (this is almost too easy) The Jimi Hendrix Experience? |

It's tough to find but worth it for the weirdness factor. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
