Whenever I see threads mentioning popular modern psychedelic bands, such as king gizzard or tame impala, there's always a bunch of people taking a big dump on them, saying there's much better psych out there.
Well, what is that psych? I'm genuinely curious. A lot of the older psych I find is just hippies being all jolly while singing about flowers and weed. Of course there's things like the beatles, rolling stones, the doors, grateful dead, etc. But what are some other, perhaps more obscure psych bands I am missing out on? Is there any chart for essential psychadelic albums/bands?
Just some examples of what I've found so far and enjoyed, if you can recc based on it (because walking through the swamp of 60's and 70's flower power psych is really annoying work), ultimate spinach, aguaturbia, black angels, galaxsea, samsara blues experiment, 13th floor elevators.

>I find is just hippies being all jolly while singing about flowers and weed
This is what most people on here think of tame impala and other neo-psych groups, they tend to overlook the substance and insist that all psych bands rely on gimmicks (they're not completely wrong)

Yeah, the substance can be dull, but the actual music makes up for it sometimes for me. For example, ultimate spinach which I referred to in OP for example has very typical lyrics, ego death, acid, weed lmao etc, but really solid instrumentals to back it up and in that case it's still really nice.

Not really the correct era for psychedelic music t bh. The very first use of the word psychedelic to describe the genre was 13th floor elevators in 1966

There will be. The psychedelic scene was around from 1965, it just hadn't been really solidified yet
