Episode 260: A Deep Dive into the Beatles' Psychedelic Era (and a Ranking!)
About this episode
The episode explores the Beatles' psychedelic era, ranking their top tracks and discussing the characteristics of psychedelic rock music.
In this episode, we discuss what makes rock music "psychedelic" and debate the Beatles songs that best capture the era’s "trippy" sounds. We rank our top psychedelic Beatles tracks (including "Strawberry Fields Forever," "Tomorrow Never Knows," "I am the Walrus," "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," and many more), examine instrumentation and studio effects and of course the lyrics. We then cover news about reissues and Record Store Day releases. Mentioned in the episode: Interview with William Echard, Episode 172.
