    Are there any good modern psychedelic bands out there?

    Also there's this band from Newcastle. They haven't put a record out yet, but I saw them last year and they were very good! It might not sound so psychedelic here, but live it certainly did where they let loose a bit more - maybe it's a bit more prog - either way, aren't they good?! APDRF8ktpGU

    Are there any good modern psychedelic bands out there?

    El Goodo are from Wales and are currently working on their third album. I don't know much about them, other than I heard their song I Saw Her Today getting some airplay a couple of years ago and it was brilliant. There's a not so good live version on youtube, but there's this to show that they...

    Psychedelic Folk

    The ISB are on of my favourite bands! If you want to get into them I recommend listening to the albums in turn as they came out, as they developed with each album. Robin Williamson's songs tend to be more intellectual flights of fancy, whilst Mike Heron's are slightly more poppy - certainly...

    Davey Graham

    One of my favourite musicians of all time - just such a natural player. I got to see Davey play in Gateshead on his final tour. He only did a half hour set and then only sang on a couple of numbers, but it was still so good to see him. He did a signing after the show and I bought a cd of him...

    Sweden!

    I think Robyn's the best Pop Star in the world right now! As in, writes the catchiest, wittiest, danciest tunes going. She's made lots of great pop songs so far: Cobrastyle Bum Like You Be Mine Fembot Cry When You Get Older to name a few. This is a Rock Forum tho, so I'll not put...

    Obscure Heavy Psych/Heavy Rock/Proto-Metal

    Pleased you like it, Wolf! It's a great song that - the lyrics aren't the best, but kind of add to its charms. I discovered them via the Rubble compilation, which has a few good tunes on by bands I can't even remember!

    Obscure Heavy Psych/Heavy Rock/Proto-Metal

    I don't know if The Open Mind have been mentioned yet, but they definitely fall into the category of proto-heavy metal. I've only heard a couple of tracks by them, but check this out - still incredibly fresh! : j-Hdmm304Uw Here's their wiki page: The Open Mind - Wikipedia, the free...

    Are there any good modern psychedelic bands out there?

    I'd put Deerhunter in the psychedelic camp. Here's a track from 2008's excellent Microcastle album: eNXzBlXu5Eo They did a session last year for Marc Riley on the English 6music radio station. That's how I first heard them - they did a 10 minute version of a song called Nothing Ever...

    Paul Butterfield Blues Band!

    I put this up on youtube a few weeks ago: yvopTXMQXrA I've always loved the Blues Brothers movie. I'm guessing Akroyd modelled the characters on Mr Butterfield. East West is a classic album. Peace out from Gateshead UK!

    Lindisfarne and Alan Hull ! (folk)

    I cut my live acoustical teeth at The Beamish Mary near Stanley 2003/4 with Kevin Phillipson who co-wrote this tune with Alan Hull: Nnu0TLMVlwY He played it at The Mary the night of the final final final Lindisfarne gig. It was sublime

    Metallica (Official Thread)

    I got heavily into Metallica in 1988. They were Great! I was terrified by Metal Militia because I loved it so much and it meant that I had to give up the fact that Iron Maiden were the best band on the planet! It was just wild and raw and exciting! 1990 Lars Ulrich gave an interview to Wear...

    Best Album of 1984

    First one I thought of was Powerslave, but then saw someone mention Ride the Lightning, which is a much better album - tho not as good as Puppets imo. Ride the Lightning is such a massive leap forward from Kill 'em All, although there is some filler on side 2 and I'm not that much of a fan of...

    Adam Ant (Official Thread)

    Re: Adam Ant Word! Dirk Wears White Sox is a classic album! Post Pistols London, Adam and the Ants and Siouxsie and the Banshees had a friendly rivalry going on in the punk scene. Great stuff!

    Pink Floyd - Favorite Song?

    I got into the Floyd via The Wall when I was 18. I heard a little bit of Mother when i was 14, but it was too dark and scary for me then. When I did get into The Wall I loved Nobody's Home (my emo phase - looking back!). Loved Meddle and Dark Side then this girl lent me a TDK D90 copy of Piper...

    Which Fleetwood Mac lineup do you like better?

    The first line-up for me. Got into them when i was about 19 years old - even the b-sides like Jigsaw Puzzle Blues are great to hear. The music's so good it can be overlooked. I mean, where did Albatross come from? It's unique and utterly beautiful. Man of the World - so poignant. What a...
