the Floyd brought some shit of course but one of my faves NEVER gets their proper dap: the MISUNDERSTOOD, the earliest psych band that I'm aware of... after they moved to the UK they influenced a lot of the dudes who went on to start Floyd and the other early UK psych outfits... they were plagued with problems throughout their existance and I believe a couple 45s on Fontana is all that ever surfaced, but there are CDs available now with everything they ever recorded... BEFORE THE DREAM FADED is *highly* recommended...
buy this to read more(I still need to get a copy)

Big ups to San Diego's own Mike Stax, master of all things Beat and Psych related!
Get Ugly Things on a regular basis and you'll never need to ask Soul Strut brethren nuthin about garage and psych. Except maybe "does anyone have a copy of XXX?"
 
currently, right now, this moment in time, while writing this, listening to David Matthews's Grodeck Whipperjenny album on People, funky fuzzy psychy....in other words, real nice !
 
also, if the Stooges are being mentioned as 'psych' then the definition has become dangerously degraded.
They're 'psych' if you mean 'psychotic'... but not psychedelic
 
All the albums above are. What gave it away? If it wasn't for the lettering of "Platic Cloud" (and the name, I guess) you'd be quite suprised when first hering the tunes.

Dope LP, K.

that one tune on 'noah' that rips off 'sympathy for the devil' is a little psychedelic innit?

Plastic Cloud is like the best know Canuck psych rarity - rare, but essential?

imho: the top 2 essential psych lps are prolly 'piper at the gates' & 'are you experienced?'

Essential is relative. I'd say Bentwind is the best known.
