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.. |
hm, I personally think "psychedelic" and "spacey" are interchangeable terms

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! |
Mars Volta? psych? don't think so!

Hell yes! best of modern psychedelic. You don't even need to be anything and they'll take you on a trip!

I voted for The Doors, just because I don't particularly find Pink Floyd that psychedelic (maybe they just aren't random enough...) and I don't know much of their early stuff.

In my opinion, Pink floyd, Eloy and The Doors right behind.

You should have left Pink Floyd out of this one... I mean, the big ones always get all the votes. It's like someone did with the "favorite debut" poll, he left KC out because it would get all the votes, so it's more interesting to see how the others do.

i agree 100%. or, probably, "spacey" album can´t be "psychedelic" because some planet or a spaceship is mentioned in the lyrics?
for example, Steve Hiilage´s "L" album is really "spacey" but that masterpiece of Prog (but underrated an album,imho) is really "psyhedelic" stuff in the same time, especialy when you are reading these liner notes that "Lunar Musik Suite", an awesome epic, were recording at the nights of fool moon only. 
its same thing if someone says that "2001: A Space Odissey" the movie is "science fiction" stuff only, i mean, to say there´s nothing of "psychedelic" because that is the movie about one space journey with no happy end!

When I see a Psyche thread, I expect to seee Psyche bands, in this case, besides The Doors and Iron Butterfly, there's no essentially Psyche band, not even Pink Floyd, being that their most inportant output is not even related.
Some great Psyche bands have been mentioned, but from the lesser know:
1.- Elmer Gantry's Vevet Opera
2.- The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band
3.- Swetwater
4.- Arthur Brown
5.- Vanilla Fudge
6.- The Fifth Dimension
7.- Zager and Evans
8.- The Mamas & the Papas
9.- HP Lovecraft
10.- United States of America
Lots of bands where to choose from. But from the list...The Doors.

Eloy for me by far, Nektar second, i can't stand The Doors. Pink Floyd , Hawkwind and Iron Butterfly to me are good bands with good albums but some of them are terrible boring and repatative.
1.Eloy
2.Nektar
