shuck just because this Aphex Twin argument is happening... would you say I make IDM or Ambient or Trip Hop? abrakapokus might have an opinion.
I have my own little playlist of random beats which has a mix of IDM and instrumental hip hop and some other stuff. I’d say maybe trip hop is the closest of those 3 think there’s a lot of overlap between all of that!
so is psych just the theme song from the show psych? If so, it should win.
It's King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard, which knowing Inforoo, is a top 5 genre easily because of that.
I took it to mean different eras of psychedelic beginning with the late 1960’s acid stuff - Jimi Hendrix Experience. Jefferson Airplane, Cream, The Doors, The Mothers, early Pink Floyd, and plenty of Led Zeppelin III. Then through the 70’s and 80’s with some of the neopsych stuff like Echo & the Bunnymen, Flaming Lips, Screaming Trees into the following 30+ years now with King Gizzard, All them Witches, Tame Impala, Animal Collective, Black Angels, etc. Plenty of other artists like Hawkwind dabbled heavily in it, but they mostly became a space rock band.
Weird thing about psych is that most bands in the overall genre could be in 2, 3 or even 4 categories.

And the people who hate them act like the Oh Sees are the second coming so I think we're all in agreement that psych rules but you're only allowed to like one band.

AC/DC is the quintessential "classic rock" band to me. Not quite metal, not really punk, not psychedelic. Just hard rock. Basically butt rock before butt rock.
They are a weird case for me. I never heard them on FM radio except occasionally Highway to Hell until Back in Black came out which I think was 1980 summer. I had friends who were into their early shit (Powerage, Let There Be Rock, High Voltage). Only station here that played them was WTUL who used to do a heavy (metal) show on Saturday nights. Otherwise, they didn’t turn up on any of the 4 other rock stations that were in town back then.
What’s also odd about classic rock is itself wasn’t a format I don’t think until the middle 1980’s. Before that it was usually either rock or AOR (album oriented rock) where the AOR stations would play some deeper tracks. I think the first time I heard the term was when KLSX Los Angeles switched formats in 1987. I guess I think of it kind of like Tristan said - those type bands plus Beatles and some folkier stuff like CSNY.
