The Beatles在1965年出的《Rubber Soul》被称为「大麻专辑」其中那首《Norwegian Wood》和后来的单曲《Day Tripper》都是值得研究的迷幻摇滚作品。此后，大量迷幻摇滚乐队出现，The Grateful Dead，Jefferson Airplane，Country Joe and the Fish等等，迷幻风开始大行其道。
永远的披头士
1966年，The Yardbirds发行了《Shapes of Things》，The Byrds发行了《Eight Miles High》，被认为是英美两地「迷幻摇滚」正式拉开序幕，这两张专辑都可以好好听一听。
同年，The Mothers of Invention（Frank Zappa）发行专辑《Freak Out!》；Jimi Hendrix和他的伴侣Kathy Etchingham凭借《Hey Joe》声名鹊起；The 13th Floor Elevators发行专辑《The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators》。
1967年，大门乐队发表了他们最经典的同名专辑《The Doors》，并在未来数年中成长为美国最流行的迷幻摇滚乐队；披头士发行单曲《Strawberry Fields Forever》和《Penny Lane》； The Jefferson Airplane发行专辑《Surrealistic Pillow》，迷幻摇滚由此进入全盛时期，The Grateful Dead、The Jimi Hendrix Experience、Scott McKenzie、The Doors、The Jefferson Airplane、The 13th Floor Elevators都是这一时期的主力，出过很多优秀作品，可以一一找来听听。
The Doors
再后来就是大神 Pink Floyd的横空出世了，1967年他们发行了那张著名的专辑《The Piper at the Gates of Dawn》，迷幻摇滚爱好者不得不听的一张专辑。后来Pink Floyd还出过多张专辑，但个人认为都没有这一张更牛了。
1968年，The Beatles发行了著名的白色专辑，同年发行了著名的歌曲《Hey Jude》。这一年也是佳作频出的一年，Small Faces发行《Ogdens Nut Gone Flake》；The Jimi Hendrix Experience发行《Electric Ladyland》；The Doors发行《Waiting for the Sun》；The Mothers of Invention（Frank Zappa）发行《Were Only in It for the Money》；The Grateful Dead发行《Anthem of the Sun》；Blue Cheer发行专辑《Vincebus Eruptum》，包含著名歌曲《Summertime Blues》等等。
No musician in this world love to be classified into a music genre just like a book being placed into a section of bookshelf. Anyway, Psychedelic is a very interesting, crazy and influential category of music. I gonna keep updating this list. Never say you fully understand what is psychedelic music. No one can. Psychedelic can become progressive. Hard blues from UK and States has psychedelic elements. You can make soul and funk psychedelic. Pink Floyd is great. But there are more bands remain unknown to music lovers born after the golden era of Rock N Roll.
Andromeda ?– Andromeda (1969, UK). This self-titled album is pretty cool.
Bent Wind ?– Sussex (1969, Canada)
Clark-Hutchinson ?– A=MH2 (1969, UK). Pretty cool album and including elements like psychedelic, progressive, jazz and jam.
Frijid Pink ?– Frijid Pink (1970, US). Very cool Acid album. Fuzz guitar and good arrangment.
Elias Hulk ?– Unchained (1970, UK) Prog and Psych. Very cool
Granicus ?– Granicus (1973, U.S.) Hard rock containg Psych
Morly Grey ?– The Only Truth (1972, U.S.) - Hard, Acid and Psych
May Blitz - May Blitz (1970, British, Canada)
T2 ?– Itll All Work Out In Boomland (1970, UK). The members of the band has ties with UK psyche act The Please. Very cool HEAVY PSYCHEDELIC.
The Way We Live ?– A Candle For Judith (1971, UK).
Wicked Lady ?– Psychotic Overkill
Wicked Lady ?– The Axeman Cometh
The above two are from archive and I reckon the composition are from late 1968 to 1969.
If you love fuzzy guitar, complex song structure, and endless cool riffs. Try this. Martin Weaver (founding member of this obscure UK band) would join DARK who would later become the most legendary progressive/psych/hard rock band in UK and released the one and only one album "round the edges" in 1972.
Its A Beautiful Day ?– Its A Beautiful Day (1969, U.S.). One of my fave and they are from San Francisco, California. Very solid pschydelic folk rock album. So never judge what contains in a record based on album cover art. Those guy are really versed in multible instruments and know how to give fuzz guitar sound.
Lee Michaels ?– Lee Michaels (1969, US).
Keef Hartley Band ?– Halfbreed (1969, UK). This is their best one. A mixture of blues and psych stuff.
Quicksilver Messenger Service ?– Happy Trails (1969, US). Never heard of them? Try them. It will blow your mind.
