I think Janis Joplin is overrated, but the rest of the band is awesome. This is one of my favorite songs (and this is one my favorite threads) :

You can see her legacy echoed in newer singers:

I'm of the opposite opinion.

Almost every song on this album is what I'd classify as Psychedelic Acid Blues. Mary of Silence being my favorite one of the bunch, but the rest are really good as well.

Unfortunately none of Mazzy Star's other albums sound anything like this. If you can get beyond the spaced out vocals and the laid back drums and the sporadic guitar fills you'll find the bass and keyboards are pretty much holding the entire song together. All the other instruments and vocals just kind of swirl around each song in a drug induced state. It kind of makes you think, this is what music would sound like if Jimi Hendrix, Gerry Garcia and Grace Slick got together and had a love child.

Blues Pills. Especially their "Devil Man" EP.

It just doesn't get any heavier and psychedelic than Robin Trower's Bridge of Sighs!
