The psychedelic rock bands of the late 1960s (often based out of san francisco) actually had a relatively diverse musical style. what traits (including musical and non musical characteristics) do they tend to share?
which of these traits are forever embedded into our modern notions of "rock music"? in other words, why when you picture a stereotypical rock band in your mind, are many of us picturing a psychedelic rock band,
and what are the traits behind that stereotype?
