Psychedelic rock is a style of rock music that attempts to replicate the mind-altering experiences of hallucinogenic drugs. It emerged during the mid 1960s among garage and folk rock bands in Britain and the United States. Psychedelic rock is a bridge from early blues-based rock to progressive rock and heavy metal, but it also drew on non-Western sources such as Indian music's rāgas and sitars.
While the first contemporary musicians to be influenced by psychedelic drugs were in the jazz and folk scenes, the first use of the term "psychedelic" in popular music was by the "acid-folk" group The Holy Modal Rounders in 1964, with the song "Hesitation Blues."[citation needed] The first use of the word "psychedelic" in a rock music context is usually credited to The Deep, and the earliest known appearance of this usage of the word in print is in the title of their 1966 album The Psychedelic Moods of the Deep. Roky Erickson, lead singer of The 13th Floor Elevators, coined the term 'psychedelic rock' in a 1966 interview. In 1962, British rock embarked on a frenetic race of ideas that spread back to the U.S. with the British Invasion. The folk music scene also experimented with outside influences. In the tradition of Jazz and blues many musicians began to take drugs, and include drug references in their songs. Beat Generation writers like William Burroughs, Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and especially the new exponents of consciousness expansion such as Timothy Leary, Alan Watts and Aldous Huxley profoundly influenced the thinking of the new generation. In late 1965, The Beatles unveiled their brand of psychedelia on the Rubber Soul album, which featured John Lennon's first paean to universal love ("The Word") and a sitar-laden tale of attempted hippy hedonism ("Norwegian Wood", written by John Lennon). The British rock act The Yardbirds recorded the single "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago" in 1966, another track frequently cited as the first psychedelic song, this one due to its frantic evocation of drug-induced paranoia.
Psychedelia began in the United States' folk scene with New York City's Holy Modal Rounders introducing the term in 1964.[citation needed] A similar band called Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions from San Francisco were influenced by The Byrds and the Beatles to switch from acoustic music to electric music in 1965. Renaming themselves the Warlocks, they fell in with Ken Kesey's LSD-fueled Merry Pranksters in November 1965, and changed their name to the Grateful Dead the following month.[citation needed] The Dead played to light shows at the Pranksters' "Acid Tests", with pulsing images being projected over the group in what became a widespread practice.

Oh come on the Dead are fucking awesome. Am sorry but u can't compare Barrett to Garcia as a musician. As much as i like Piper at the Gates of Dawn, The Grateful Dead's first 2 albums are incredible.
totally agree. Barrett was a stunningly original guitarist,vocalist and songwriter.3 studio albums and not a single solitary cliched blues lick.nobody made music like Syd Barrett, and Syd Barrett made music like nobody else. JG was a run of the mill folk blues musician who took lots of acid. So yes, i completely agree, you cant compare them...LOL.look im gonna shut up,i dont rate the GD, never have,never will...but i acknowlede that i seem to be in the minority on that point...!
Oh right. So the guy that just puts his hand over the fretting area and hits the same note for 5 hours is more talented and original than a guitar wizard. Look here smart arse, before you make dumbass comments like you just did, listen to music. This might enlighten you.
Now that youre spending most of your time at home anyway you could try making some extra cash online.. its pretty easy, just read the free lesson at soloemployee . com
It's not & a title like Rollercoaster is? You are amusing. You ever hear John Cipollina's Quintessential SF Sound Psychedelic guitar? Taking nothing away from Sid or 13th he didn't have to listen to them first to make it. I saw all these bands live at the time-How bout you old sage of all Psychedlic wisdom? With respect to Syd as always. Happy Trails from where a famous Golden one shines & people from all over related to Anthem to the Sun on many levels... if not you.& your mates.
