If I had to determine the first LP that defined psychedelic music, it would be The Seeds 1966 self titled debut. Sure, The Yardbirds. The Beatles & others had indulged in various experimentations over the 1965/66 but none of them had fully committed to psychedelia.
The Seeds and Love released there debut albums towards the middle of 1966. They were both Californian acts and they were on the brink of the psychedelic movement. Somehow, both bands were robbed of their legend by inferior hippy bands like The Grateful Dead & The Jefferson Airplane. This most likely was a result of their absence during the ‘Ticket to Rock & Roll legend’ festivals, Monterey Pop & Woodstock.
With one listen to ‘The Seeds’ it becomes evident Ray Manzarek and co. brought a pen and paper when they attended Seeds gigs. Their songs, catchy as they can be, are built largely around trancey groves. They sometimes sound like an amateur Stooges (just when you thought it couldn't get any more basic). Hell, they could have been The Stooges. The big differences are they didn’t have Marshall Amps back in the day and their singer wasn’t a self destructive lunatic.
Unlike the stereotypes psychedelia would become known for, ‘The Seeds’ weren’t about peace, sitars and incense. In fact, the lyrics and music are quite forceful and sometimes abrasive. They would later conform to the accepted standard.
The Seeds, generally labeled as a ‘Nuggets Band’, stand out amongst contemporaries in the same fashion as the 13th Floor Elevators and the Electric Prunes. When it comes to 60's garage rock albums, it's not hard to come across bands such as the Cryin’ Shames or The Litter that have great singles but there albums rely heavy on lame covers of popular songs of the day to fill them out. For Seeds vocalist Sky Saxon there wasn’t a person earth that could put a word in his mouth. He spewed gold.
