i wrote to third the other week something like “they discovered drugs in the 60's and thought that the beatles and Syd Barret were psychedelic rather than just silly and whimsical..”
the notion that sgt pepper and Arnold lane are psychedelic is such a hard concept for me to grasp.
i don’t want this to be a shit on that music thread, it’d be fruitful to unpick how the psychedelia transmits- and doesn’t- to different listeners.
i’m not talking about a love supreme or pharaoh sanders (and of course ‘tomorrow never knows’ is a very much ahead of its time). i mean the doors, pink floyd, greatful dead, sgt pepper, et al. how are they psychedelic?
