My first Rolling Stones list wasn't a complete list. It only included albums from the period 1964-1978. Smile

What are Mick & Keith saying? Smile

I'd like to tell as well, Paul, that I find your promoting of obscure music very appreciable.

Thanks! I'm always on the look-out for obscure psych albums to unearth from the underground. Smile

I would like to post here my top 10 Psych bands but it would need all too much work for me as I usually relate to albums and not to bands as a whole.
Defining a band by a single label can be very problematic in my opinion, as well, while a band is a musical evolution which can move in very stylistic directions over the years.
That is in fact a big problem with PA's database - as I see it.

Choosing ten favourite Psychedelic Rock bands (on Page 1) was relatively easy. It's choosing ten favourite psych albums that's the really hard part, when I could easily list a hundred favourite albums in that particular genre. Smile

- even one can always view a band from a different label optics.

Ookaay, I can say about myself, too that I sometimes can be in a situation like that where it can be very difficult for me to choose a rather small number of favourites - but it's 15 in my Psych thread.

Okay, Paul, I've found solution to my problem with your top 10 bands which is a list containing (13) bands which at least have done one Psych album, and my opinion can be based on only one album - that way I know what I'm talking about, which I appreciate. Star
Here it comes, unranked:

                       Big Brother & The Holding Company (USA)

                       Blind Faith  (UK)

                       Cream  (UK)

                       Country Joe & The Fish (USA)
                       The Doors  (USA)
                       Group 1850  (NL)

                       Iron Butterfly  (USA)
                       Jefferson Airplane (USA) 

                       The Jimi Hendrix Experience (USA)
                       Morgen  (USA)

                       Pink Floyd  (UK)
                       The Pretty Things  (UK)
                       The Soft Machine  (UK)


Maybe this procedure of mine can inspire you for some solution of your difficulties with the list of albums in my Psych thread. Something else here is, I wouldn't certainly mind if your list is quite a bit larger then 15 albums - like Sean Trane often does. Anyway, best luck with that!  Smile

Something entirely else, Paul, I wonder how you manage to use all these titles in your "stories". I've heard David Bowie telling in an interview that when he wrote lyrics it could be based on a lot of words he had cut out from a newspaper. And then he just wrote lyrics using these words, and it might be without any specific meaning - but that's not the case with your "stories".

Edit:
Something else again, Paul, I think it would be very good in the future if your international lists contained the nationality of the bands.

My "international" list of favourite Psychedelic Rock bands at the top of this blog are all American. Smile

I simply write down a list of all the usable song or album titles by an artist and then include as many titles as I possibly can in the story, just like this:-

Tonight, it's time to pay tribute to one of our all-time musical Heroes - the much-missed David Bowie. Who could forget him in his first starring film role as the bewildered alien in The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976), where he was regarded as something of a Space Oddity by humans. The Reality is that it's the Earthlings who are the real Scary Monsters in the movie though, at least from Bowie's point of view, as government scientists are wanting to keep Bowie in captivity to perform experiments on him. He reaches a new Low point when he becomes addicted to the earthly vice of alcohol and discovers the "prison" he's been kept in for Hours on end as a Lodger is actually unlocked and he's able to wander Outside its walls. At the sad conclusion of the film, he's discovered The Next Day slumped in a drunken stupor outside a restaurant, so I'm afraid there's no Hunky Dory happy ending for our alien friend. Confused

All album titles highlighted in Blue by David Bowie.

I was thinking about your A-Z international list (500+ artists).

And something else again, Paul, after I've been looking around in different PA forums, I can only say, it's tremendous and incredible amount of work, you've done here. You should get an order from PA for that. Smile

And then, the title of your thread, "Psych Britannia", is partly misleading.

Arthur Brown (17); The Beatles (14); Cream (8); Dark (2); Edgar Broughton Band (13)
The Flower Pot Men (3); Ginger Baker (25); Hapshash & the Coloured Coat (2); The Idle Race (4)
Jody Grind (2); Kaleidoscope (4); Love Sculpture (2); The Move (6); Nirvana (10); Octopus (1)
Pretty Things (19); Quintessence (9); Rolling Stones (60); Simon Dupree & the Big Sound
 Them; Unicorn; Velvett Fogg; The Who; The Yardbirds; The Zombies

Yes, but having in mind your quite long story as your OP to The Dark Side of the Moon where the whole Pink Floyd discography was your starting point,  it's really impressive you can keep control of it, for not to mention the fictive story itself - yes, in short, I'm very impressed!

Just so you're aware of it, I've written this in my Psych thread: Star

"It'll be very interesting to see here if Psychedelic Poul, who is now struggling with "could easily list a hundred favourite albums in that particular genre", can end with a number of favourites, he find to be okay to present here. - I hope he'll succeed as it'll be quite exiting to see what I think of as his "greatest Psychedelic favourites"."

Maybe I should just name a favourite artist and album for each letter of the alphabet, then I'll only need to name 26 albums, seeing as  I already have Xhol lined up for the letter "X". Smile

If you do that, I guess you've got inspired by my way to choose the list to present here.

But if you do that, it won't be quite in line with something like one album per band, I included in my opening list. Embarrassed

Yes, an alphabetical list will still be one album per band - 26 albums by 26 different artists. Smile
