Sene, time to get this thread on a slightly more psychedlic track. Here are 2 songs that were at the forefront of the American psychedelic revolution in early 1967, from the Blue Magoos and the Electric Prunes. Both are featured in season 3, episode 3 of Lilyhammer, and Sene if you are in the mood to smoke a joint tonight or have a little mushroom soup, here are some lullabys for you:
What a halftime show should be, not J Lo and Shakira ( my music is meaningless but here is my vagina ) Just my opinion, did not want to offend their fans.

The Wallflowers is an American rock solo project of American musician and multi-instrumentalist Jakob Dylan. Formally The Wallflowers were originally a rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1989 by singer-songwriter Dylan and guitarist Tobi Miller. The band has gone through a number of personnel changes but has remained centered on Dylan.
After releasing their eponymous debut album in 1992, the Wallflowers released what would become their best-known and highest-selling album, Bringing Down the Horse in 1996, which featured the songs "One Headlight" and "6th Avenue Heartache". They went on to release an additional three albums before going on hiatus. In 2012, the Wallflowers reunited to release their sixth studio album, Glad All Over.
The Wallflowers have won two Grammy Awards: Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and Best Rock Song for "One Headlight" in 1998. "One Headlight" is also listed at #58 in Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Greatest Pop Songs.

Here is an example of the kind of psychedilic music that I know.
The psychedelic music that "you know" is not all that there is. Here is a fantastic psychedelic song written by Pink Floyd's genius Syd Barrett, another one you can smoke a bong to or eat some shrooms. Unfortunately Syd, for whom his bandmates wrote the classic "Shine on You Crazy Diamond", did a few too many drugs in the 1960s and was permanently damaged by them:
The Doors, Riders on the storm (ORIGINAL!) driving with Jim
OMG, I was forgetting one of my favorite bands.
OMG, I was forgetting one of my favorite bands.
The Doors, Touch me
Jim is so legendary that its hard to believe he was ever real.

P. Gabriel,
Your like of my post #3,595 reminded me that the same "what if" question I had with Syd Barrett I also had with your namesake, Peter Gabriel, and Bon Scott. Although I do not pretend to be a knowledgeable music historian I do like playing the "what if" questions like these:
1. What if Peter Gabriel had never left Genesis?
Answer: I think the short answer to this question is that things would not have turned out as well as they did for Genesis, for Phil Collins, and for Peter Gabriel himself.
2. What if Bon Scott had not died? Would AC/DC have been as successful?
Answer: They would have been even MORE successful.
3. What if Syd Barrett had not fucked up his head using drugs and stayed with the band Pink Floyd and remained in the music industry?
Answer: this is the hardest question of all to answer. Barrett was a musical genius and the frontman and leader of a band filled with brimming talents in Waters, Wright and Mason. It seems likely David Gilmour would not have joined the band had Barrett remained in the band. Would Pink Floyd have had the same level of international success? It's hard to say but I am going to give it a maybe.
4. What if John Lennon was not shot and the Beatles did a reunion tour and album as was widely rumored to happen in the year before Lennon was killed?
Answer: The tour would have made immense money to pad their immense respective wealth, but any new music would not have been as good as what they did in the 1960s.
5. If Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison had all lived, who would have produced the most memorable music from the point of their death forward?
Answer: I think that Jimi Hendrix was the least fated to die of these 3, and the most "responsible" drug abuser of the 3, his death being caused by involuntary restraint causing asphyxiation on his own vomit and not so much his own behaviors. I suspect Jimi would have had a long career of productivity because he could take music of others and do something entirely different with it as well as write his own stuff, something proven by what he did with Dylan's "All Along The Watchtower." Morrison and Joplin, sadly, were trainwreck addicts who were eventually going to crash.

I love your post. Pretty much the way I see it on each point.
Gabriel ended up being better and it gave space to Collins.
It’s tough concerning David Gilmour.
Love it. Go have a look the band Innerspace the Rise album Kids from Montreal . You will love it
Innerspace, Mister Mayor [Official Music Video]
I didn't know this band, it's great. I liked this song with its Pink Floyd hint. Also "The other side" this is so beautiful.
They are great. But when people listen to music on youtube and Spotify, you can't keep on working for noghing. After we complain that there is no good music anymore... Why don't people buy it instead of getting it for free.
