@MindLiberation: Actually, the Doors take their name from a William Blake poem.

Well, sure, they might have popularized it, but look at the tags from songs before they really bothered with it or were even taking drugs. For fuck's sake, even Boys has psychedelic tagged and that's not even *their song*

Goa (and other scenes in Punjab) pretty much made psychedelic music long before the beatles and pretty much before most westerns were aware of it it's origins is in the Indian subcontinent modern-day India/Pakistan, in the Punjab (Pakistan) most of it is inspired by Sufi beats, and massive religious parties with incense laced with dope burning, and lots of MDMA and Coke

beatles pretty much made psychedelic, or at least made it popular. everyone knows that they were taking loads of acid in the mid-late 60's, and a lot of their songs were about it. they also used a lot of tape effects that very trippy. I do think that in terms of music it's a subjective term though. someone's idea of a psychedelic experience could be totally different to someone else's and hence someone's idea of psychedelic music could be different to another person's. just look at the top artists, we've got shpongle and pink floyd, two wildly different artists.

The Beatles have a lot of psychedelic songs, certainly, but I'm getting kind of sick of people tagging *everything* they do with it

@EENIAC feedback and avant-garde song structure doesn't always equal psychedelic. Regardless White/Light is my FAVORITE VU album.

oh, I always thought psychedelic would mean like, trancey, electronic, but also trippy folk music and I thought The Doors was just like classic rock. But that's cool! I like the DOors.

The Doors is very psychedelic. The name comes from the book The Doors of Perception written by the amazing Aldous Huxley. All of these bands are great.

But seriously. The Velvet Underground? A brilliant band for sure with plenty of great defining songs and tons of influence on pop and rock music. For sure. But psychedelic? I always kind of thought of them as the cold hard reality to juxtapose what was coming out in '67 from Floyd, The Beatles, Beach Boys.
