Psychedelic rock
From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can change
Psychedelic rock is a style of rock music. It was very popular in the 1960s when it started, and still has many fans today. It was first made in San Francisco, but it also was made in other cities such as New York City, and in other countries, especially England.
Psychedelic rock songs usually have words about drugs, if any words at all. Songs were usually very long (10-15 minutes), and much of this time might be taken up by a solo instrument, like drum solo or guitar solo. Some major groups that made psychedelic rock included: The Grateful Dead, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, and Hawkwind. Psychedelic rock was usually made for listening to when getting high with hashish or LSD, or both. During Grateful Dead concerts, some people actually sat inside the huge speakers that the Grateful Dead brought to their concerts.
