Top Trippy Rock Bands/Albums?
 

By "trippy" I mean yes, drugs. Smoke a bowl, roll a joint, drop some acid or vape out and put on one of these bands or albums. What's your go to artist or CD or Playlist when you just want to chill, relax, forget about shit and escape the stresses of life just for a little while?

I'll get you started with some Classics but add your own. I want my mind expanded and blown, tripped out and tuned in, spaced-out and progressively ROCKED!

BANDS:
Pink Floyd
Yes
The Moody Blues
Grateful Dead
Genesis (Peter Gabriel era and early Collins era, before they went 80's pop and sucked)

ALBUMS:
Dark Side of The Moon (Pink Floyd)
2112 (Rush)

Kidding, great choice!

Listening to Pink Floyd's The Wall right now.
Trippy as fuck with headphones on.
Damn, Roger Waters sure had "issues" huh?

Pure bliss from beginning to end.

Dr Dre's The Chronic and Snoop Dogg's DoggyStyle - each track tells a story you can kinda get lost into when you're high.

Seven Mary Three's Rock Crown and/or American Standard - They defy labeling. One song will be grunge, and the next rock, or have more of a country twang, or rockabilly, or a ballad.

Then there's always Marley.

This is HEAVY:

My tastes tend to stop around the Classic Rock era but I will definitely check out these!
I remember Seven Mary Three from the Nineties. :)

Syd Barrett was brilliantly talented, both as a guitarist and a songwriter. He was also a quite disturbed individual. He enjoyed taking LSD, despite the fact that it exasperated his already existing schizophrenia. This strange mix took his mind to uncharted waters. This fact was manifested not only in Pink Floyd. But even moreso in his solo music, as his mind further deteriorated. The result could be thought of as something beyond psychedelia. Maybe call it psychephrenia!

When I first listened to this album, I had very fucked up dreams that night. And I know it was due to my subconsciousness trying to process, make sense of, and BSOD'ing from the haphazard input I'd given it earlier that day. To me, that alone proves that Syd's music was absolutely exceptionable and there's nothing else like it.

All the greats have been posted! Caught these guys at a festival high as Fuk, Great live band...


Tight 4 man setup, tons of synth ;)

Bill Bruford :bowdown, you should also check his amazing work on King Crimson's Discipline.

This band is more on the heavy side but this is one of the best prog pieces in quite some time:

This thread turned into a "prog-rock" thread instead of a "trippy" flower-child like thread. :)

Yes but they kinda merge in the Seventies. Smoke a bowl and listen to ELP is about as trippy as doing the same and listening to the Strawberry Alarm Clock. LOL

Beat me to it! Great album.

:1orglaugh Funny you should mention them. I saw them advertised on a Marquee, at one of the clubs, during XBIZ LA, not sure if it's the original band or not :winkwink:

Not likely since only one of the original three is still alive. If you're referring to ELP that is.

ELP or the Strawberry Alarm Clock?

I know Keith Emerson of ELP killed himself recently because he couldn't play the piano any longer due to illness (so sad). The SAC must have their grandkids playing in the band by now. LOL

Yeah I forgot Greg Lake was dead, too.
Another icon gone. :(
(Although that wouldn't stop Carl Palmer from getting replacements and still calling it 'ELP'.)

Meh...If the BAND wasn't taking acid when they recorded the songs...they don't fit my personal criteria for this. lol

Ya I guess there is no one to stop him now. Plus calling it "P" would sound silly. :1orglaugh

Can pretty much guarantee you these guys were:

Ha I hear ya but by that standard Imagine Dragons and The Chain Smokers would qualify (both acid takers - and both suck dick IMHO).

I listened to the 'Hair' Soundtrack last night.
Now THAT'S some trippy shit. LOL

:rainfro

Nope, sorry, It was Strawberry Alarm Clock :winkwink:

Apologies ...

Honestly, there's not enough acid in LA to get me to go see that band live. LOL

Maybe we need more con(servative)-rock in here.
Any trippy Christian or Republican rockers?

You know, besides Ted Nugent and every Country singer. LOL

This can be pretty trippy in its own way:



:winkwink:

Some other biggies not mentioned yet:

Traffic - The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys

A favorite album from my teens.

Yep, a great album. All of their albums are pretty great.
