What is Psychedelic Rock?

Psychedelic Rock emerged in the mid 60’s from the British Invasion scene. With the help of mind-expanding stimulants (or maybe not) the music consisted of simple and almost ludicrous lyrics, coupled with electronic and voice assisted experimentations. The Blues still formed the substrata of this genre.
A few famous Psychedelic Rock bands include early Pink Floyd, Nektar, Porcupine Tree and Eloy.
