- A distrust of technology. Tomorrow's World: Home Computer Terminal 20 September 1967 - BBC. 3rd party content may contain ads - see our FAQs for more info.
- A rejection of America. The staple of British beat music before 1965 was American blues. The psychedelic bands looked to British culture for inspiration, including The Beatles.
- Classical music. In the film, Jim McCarty from The Yardbirds says: "We used to listen to classical music - Stravinsky, all sorts of stuff - and then when we got in the studio we were experimenting with it."
- Jazz. Jazz was also a huge influence, especially on groups like Cream (above) who had a jazz drummer in Ginger Baker and smashed the conventions of the three-minute pop song by going on extended, spontaneous jams, like bebop artists had before them.
- The Beatles, "Strawberry Fields Forever" (1967) While psychedelia had already been established by early 1967, "Strawberry Fields Forever" was more or less the real start of the genre.
- Pink Floyd, "See Emily Play" (1967) Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd expertly fused the light and dark sides of psychedelia; for every pop song about a gnome or scarecrow on their debut, there was one free-form freak-out.
- The Byrds, "Eight Miles High" (1966) "Eight Miles High" is not only one of the first psychedelic rock songs but also one of the best. Guitarist Roger McGuinn's expert fusion of Indian and jazz melodies on his Rickenbacker 12-string signaled the start of an exciting new era.
- The Who, "I Can See For Miles" (1967) The Who may have hopped on the psychedelic bandwagon later than most of their contemporaries, but "I Can See for Miles" proves they could do it just as well - if not better.
