Well, I Am The Walrus was pretty weird and psychedelic for the time it was recorded, and still is.

For me, the golden age of rock was cut short by the success of the Beatles, which could be dated either 1964 or 1966. UK artists had contributed important hits to the pop field—but the triumph of the Beatles formula shifted pop away from the breakthrough of the late Fifties. The Beatles were essentially a music-hall “kid” act, limited to a four-square, discrete-pitch vocabulary. (They knew American ethnic music only by rumor.) They found and crystallized the segment with the best numbers—early teens who wanted something more bland than actual rock. At this point, the regime of maximum sales backfired, as one might well have expected it to.

The “youth” craze of the Sixties became increasingly dubious (from flower power to Altamont), and the Beatles and their imitators morphed, leading their fans to a mystique of consumerist dissipation. (Carnaby Street and “Yellow Submarine.”) For me, the Beatles’ consummate song was “Revolution,” which begins “If you wanna make a revolution, count me out.” It served as the anthem for all the mediocrities who responsed to the stresses of the late twentieth century by embracing institutional co-optation.

If you want, but that's not what I asked for, nor is it very psychedelic. It doesn't sound like I Am The Walrus at all.

>>73722620
>but that's not what I asked for
Then you're not really asking for an argument that defeats your point.
>nor is it very psychedelic
Neither does I Am the Walrus.

filthy subhumans don't get to have opinions, Paco.

>>73721808
That's the face I make when people shit on a good band because it makes them feel superior. Write some actual observation of the song, be it on the structure, or production, or lyricism, or instrumentation, because this type of empty hate says more about you than it does anything else.

>>73722594
I like this a lot. That being said, the tune itself if from a tv show, and this came out like four months after Revolver, which also did an odd parody of Sousa-esque marching tunes, Yellow Submarine.

>>73721808
just because an opinion is popular doesn't make it wrong. fucking /mu/. full of pretentious hipsters

Paramore is the superior Pop Rock act. It's as simple as that. Also, her name is spelled "Hayley", by the way. :^)

Callate, gringo.

In OP's case it isn't though
