You were the reason that Fever Tree and Pearls Before Swine are both now included in my new Psychedelic Rock poll. Smile


Were they both? I've listened to Fever Tree streaming, but have none in my physical collection. Also remembered that I can say the same of Grateful Dead (well, also heard Grateful Dead from other's music collections).
 
I thought it was you who mentioned Fever Tree in my first Psychedelic Rock poll, but maybe I was wrong. I know someone mentioned them anyway. Smile
 
I realised almost as soon as I posted my first poll that I'd neglected to include the Grateful Dead, but I'm grateful I remembered to include them this time. Smile

Actually, it was Nickie (Snicolette) who mentioned both, but I've been revisiting lots of Pearls Before Swine thanks to this poll. Already listened to Balaklava and now playing One Nation Underground. Great band, imo.

I've listened to all of Pearls Before Swine's albums, including Tom Rapp's solo albums and I enjoyed all ten albums. Thumbs Up

I like all 25 bands in the poll, so it's a tough choice for me too. Smile

I also enjoy all of the bands....hard to pin it down to one out of so many.  Obviously, I'm a huge PBS fan (note my quote)...Oddly, though, I think of them as less rock-y, more folk-y....but definitely psych.  Perhaps because they used mostly acoustic instruments, although every once in a while Tom would belt one out.

It's a good thing they didn't both team up with Vanilla Fudge as that would have been a bit sickly. LOL

I checked out Pearls Before Swine on Wikipedia first before including them in the poll and their music genres are listed as Psychedelic Folk, Folk Rock & Psychedelic Rock,  so I guessed no one would mind me including them in this Psychedelic Rock poll. I agree with you though - I think Pearls Before Swine are more Psych-Folk than Psychedelic Rock. Smile

Listed as Prog-Folk herein.  But there was surely a psych element, or two.

I'll comfortably label PBS as an acid folk (psychedelic folk) band for the majority of albums, and include it in my psych polls.

Just like Jethro Tull on the folk poll, including Pink Floyd makes sure they will win. I don't know many bands here, but Floyd are my overall favourite band, so I expect they are my favourite here too. The thing about including such big bands in a genre poll, is that if you are curious about the genre and want to see the poll to get an idea of where to look for more of it, it won't help since all the votes will be with (in this case Pink Floyd). Still, I guess if I want to know some more psychedelic, my next step should be Hawkwind (whom I actually don't see in this poll... that is weird), just as if I want to know more of Folk prog, I should go with Strawbs.

My favorites here are among the more well-known: Pink Floyd, Jimi (who I voted for), the Doors. Quicksilver and It's a Beautiful Day are also excellent. My least favorite is the Airplane - they were a great band and I love Grace Slick, but I don't like Marty Balin that much  Go figure.

I included Pink Floyd in this poll because a couple of PA members suggested them in my first Psychedelic Rock poll. Don't worry about Hawkwind not being included in this poll though. They'll be in my upcoming Space Rock poll and I feel pretty sure they'll win the poll too. In my own personal view, there's a clear difference between Space Rock and Psychedelic Rock, but that's just my opinion.

I had a similar poll a while back. Here it is. http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=112297&KW=&PID=5509043#5509043 Unfortunately you can no longer vote in it. Not my decision though. I think after a year or so(or maybe less than that)they close down voting in polls.

Yeah, topics lock automatically after a certain period of inactivity. I've unlocked it in case anyone wants to continue discussion in that topic (though perhaps there ain't a lot of point in having many similar topics going at the same time as it can dilute discussion - I often find it interesting to compare similar polls and topics).

Well, thanks for doing that. I don't see a problem with that personally. This poll has more options than my old one anyway.

I noticed in your poll that Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention won the poll by a wide margin, which surprised me. I also noticed Vanilla Fudge received seven votes in your poll, although no one's voted for them so far in either of my two Psychedelic Rock polls. I haven't decided who I'll be voting for yet in your poll because there are some good choices there.

Wow! A lot of great bands o this poll. It's really a tie between Jimmy Hendrix, Cream, Pink Floyd and Jefferson Airplane. Special mention to Quicksilver Messenger Service. I'll have to think a lot before I can decide and vote.

Although your poll is much more extensive with at least twice as many artists I'm glad to see some over lap. Thanks for looking at it. Please no more votes for Mothers. J/K. ;)
