	Psychedelic music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Psychedelic music is a musical genre inspired by or attempting to replicate the mind-altering experience of drugs such as cannabis, psilocybin, mescaline, and especially LSD.
		While the first musicians to be influenced by psychedelic drugs were in the jazz and folk scenes, the first use of the term "psychedelic" in popular music was by the "acid-folk" group The Holy Modal Rounders in 1964.
		The first use of the word "psychedelic" in a rock music context is usually credited to the 13th Floor Elevators, and the earliest known appearance of this usage of the word in print is in the title of their 1966 album The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators.

	Jim Morrison - Albums,Biography,Lyrics,Photo Gallery, ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		As the lead singer and lyricist for the Doors, Jim Morrison is one of the most legendary and influential figures in rock and roll history.
		The disturbing, image-rich poeticism of Morrison's lyrics, perfectly supported by the Doors' swirling, eclectic psychedelic rock, have assured him continuing icon status, while his fondness for theatrical shock tactics and nihilistic angst have influenced countless imitators.
		Robbie Krieger and John Densmore were soon recruited from the Psychedelic Rangers, and the Doors were born; the name was Morrison's idea, taken from The Doors of Perception, Aldous Huxley's book on mescaline, and its introductory William Blake quote.

	The Doors - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Manzarek was already in a band called Rick And The Ravens while Krieger and Densmore were playing with The Psychedelic Rangers, but knew Manzarek from shared meditation instruction.
		The latter two, with a female bass player, were rapidly recruited and the band took up a number of club residences first at LA's London Fog and later the Whisky A Go-Go.
		In the last two years of his life Morrison curtailed his former herculean intake of psychedelic drugs and began drinking heavily, which in turn soon began to affect his performance, both on stage and in the studio.

		But there was another revolution that many historians forget the rise of a powerful current that permeated pop culture and has been a central influence on it ever since.
		Actually, I found it to be a very useful, well-researched guide(by a sceptical author who is actually far more sympathetically orientated than the sensationalist title may suggest)to the various non-rationalist, spiritual and occultist cultural tendencies associated with the psychedelic Sixties.
		Very good at providing insightful backgrounds on those who, like Timothy Leary, were associated with promoting acid-use; or of the spread of spiritual mysticism via individuals, organisations and sects like the Process.

	The Doors, The Best of The Doors
		The strange, disturbing words of Morrison's lyrics complemented by the Doors' swirling, ecstatic, psychedelic rock with blues tinges are, like early Jefferson Airplane and Stones, so uniquely theirs that they can't be replicated by anyone else.
		Proof of that can be seen in the current incarnation of The Doors which, barring the return of Jim from beyond the Border, is no more the Doors that the Dead in their present form are the Grateful Dead.
		Morrison's voice combined with the blues tinge of Manzarek's keyboard playing would create a sound so memorable that every song they did was instantly recognizable as if the music was somehow compatible with the some inner vibe of the listener.

		These characteristics are even more conspicuous on "End of the Night" (disc one), whose lyrics are liberally peppered with phrases lifted from the writings of William Blake, and "Moonlight Drive," which is based on a Morrison poem the vocalist read to Manzarek when they met.
		A second "Moonlight Drive"--caught on tape in 1966 after Densmore and Krieger, who had been in a band called the Psychedelic Rangers, came aboard--represents a flowering of the Doors' trademark sound.
		Krieger's guitar has an edge that's bluesy but quirky (his bottleneck playing focuses on high-pitched whoops), while Manzarek's formal, almost baroque arrangement brims with irony that's hard to miss--although apparently everyone in the group did just that.
