Warrior on the Edge of Time, Hall of the Mountain Grill, Space Ritual etc.... Hawkwind is a "earthier" form of space psychedelia . Somehow I see Floyd more as an entity all on its own and not really a part of.....like KC, Genesis or Yes. They are labels , having survived for so long!

I don't see Pink Floyd as a "psychedelic" band, well not as psychedelic as Hawkwind. I mean, Hawkwind is some pretty heady stuff. Pink Floyd wasn't so much a psychedelic band after the first 2 and a half albums.
Though I like Pink Floyd better as a band (more range, more depth, more musically interesting passages), Hawkwind just sends me into outer f**king space every time I hear them.

it's a tie b/w Gong and Mars Volta for me. To avoid being difficult however, i shall pick one from this list.
hmm...i love all of these...but Pink Floyd, for Interstellar Overdrive!

Yeah! BOSS! I saw the last Lemmy show in Montreal before he was canned! I remember leaving the concert UNABLE to LISTEN TO ANYTHING AT ALL (radio or cassette!) . Only silence because the ears were still numb from the SONIC ATTACK!

I don't really see all of these bands as "psychadelic"..
The Doors? ok
Hawkwind? spacey for sure, but not psych
Eloy? not by any stretch of the imagination
Pink Floyd? during 1967 and 1968 I consider psych, after that.. not
Iron Butterfly? ok
Nektar? First album.. maybe.... but not after that.
so my answer is, from this list, The Doors. Not from this list I would choose Airplane or Hendrix..

I voted for The Doors caus thier self titled debut and strange days are 2 of the best albums ever, and both loaded with dark psychedelia. Pink Floyd comes as a close second.

Pink Floyd were really psychedelic only until Ummagumma. bands which are obviously missing on the list are Gong, Amon Düül 2 (at least in their early phase), Ash Ra Tempel, Can, the Cosmic Jokers, early Tangerine Dream and many more Krautrock bands (Anima, Annexus Quam, the first two albums of Kraftwerk, Agitation Free, Cluster, even Dzyan were in a way psychedelic). Nik Turner solo is very psychedelic (mostly in the vein of early Hawkwind, but his first solo album "Xitintoday" is something completely different and highly recommend for all psychedelic fans. also a band like "High Tide", although listed under "Heavy Prog", have their psychedelic aspects, even on their first two very heavy albums, but especially on their third "Precious Cargo", which is completely devoid of the heavy elements but a very psychedelic session instead

I voted Eloy becasue there is nothing trippier than listening to Arnold Schwarznegger sing Pink Floyd, even if it's a bad trip. If the Dukes of Stratosphere had been on the list, I would have voted for them.
