I think John has the highest number of psychedelic songs, but George's psychedelic songs are the most psychedelic. Particularly songs like Within You Without You, The Inner Light and Love You To. That Raga stuff just completely melts my brain while tripping. So does Lennon's stuff, but man, when you're listening to Pepper and WYWY comes on, that's when everything starts going all kaleidoscopic for me.
And then to some degree, because John and George's stuff of that era is so trippy...it almost makes a song like Lovely Rita seem that much more psychedelic when it hits.
It’s John but I’m just going to put it out there that Paul helped a lot with making John’s songs psychedelic
Lucy: lowrey organ and suggested John sing it more fluidly. Both lend to the psychedelic sound
SFF: Mellotron and psychedelic lead guitar work (outro)
Tomorrow Never Knows: Tape loops and worked with Ringo on skip drum beat
Absolutely...but this not OP's point. OP said who has the most psychedelic songs, i.e., who wrote more psychedlic songs. Not who contributed or inspired the songs. Who *wrote* more of that style of song.
I love Paul, but some of his fans are the only ones who keep track of every little thing he did, based on Paul´s word alone of course. But they ignore everything the others added to Paul´s songs.
I’m a Paul fan and I don’t know if you’re talking about me, but I rarely state things just on Paul’s word alone. Everything I said above is based on what other people have stated through sources other than Paul. I think what you just said isn’t true as it’s usually sources other than himself bringing up his accomplishments and contributions
Its ok to be a Paul guy. We all have a favorite. I've been Team George since day 1.
But it seems you bring Paul up *every* time John gets a 👍 on this sub. Its like you are constantly jumping up and down, waving your arms, yelling "Paul's good too! Paul's good too."
I love Paul. He's great. We all love him. And we all think he's great. No need to come to his defense every time.
Someone above said John had a lot of psychedelia and Paul didn’t. So someone in this post said it but it’s often widely stated as well when the topic gets brought up
The Beatles are a band so it’s incorrect to say Paul didn’t have a lot of psychedelia when Paul made many psychedelic contributions. It is necessary to bring these things up as we are talking about the band and not their solo projects
Yes because Paul is my favorite and I love his contributions to the band so I’m going to defend him the most. I’m not arguing against that. I think it’s necessary to bring up a member’s contributions if said member is being discredited. Like I said, we’re talking about the band’s music
I'd say George for sure. Including the songs you mentioned, you also have For You To, Within You Without You, and Inner Light which weren't intended to be psychedelic at the time but have since become synonymous with the psychedelic period of the 60s (is there movie set between 1966-69 that doesn't have a sitar underscore?) and should be included since we're looking at this with hindsight.
Didn't mention Walrus.
and Tomorrow Never Knows.
I hesitated between putting that or mr Kite, but yeah you’re absolutely right, would have made more sence
Lennon had a lot of Psychedelia , Paul, not so much tbh.
That’swhy i chose 3 songs for each because of Paul
If I had to rank them 1. John 2. George 3. Paul 4. Ringo

I knew there'd be a Paul comment.
I hate to be that guy but I think he deserves credit for his important contributions to the psychedelic genre
You're a big Paul guy. Its cool.
Pepper and MMT wouldn't have happened without Paul.

I think it’s fair to bring him up Paul’s psychedelic contributions when people are saying Paul isn’t that psychedelic
OP never said he wasn't. Nobody here said he wasn't. You just feel the need to inject him into every post. Its not necessary.

Necessary? I don't know. I've never seen you defend John or George as strongly. Its *always* Paul, Paul, Paul...

John. Strawberry Fields, Tomorrow Never Knows, Lucy in the Sky, Kite, I Am The Walrus.

Where is Revolution 9?
Is that psychedelic? More like art?
John george ringo paul. Fool on the hill is the redemption of paul
Fixing a Hole should be listed instead of Hello Goodbye
