I think the first Country Joe and the Fish lp fits the bill for the era. Maybe The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett for sheer musical and lyrical strangeness. I often think of the first Suicide lp as rather drugged up, but probably not on psychedelics. I have to give a mention to Fried, by our host. I hated it when it first came out and gave him a swerve from then on. Coming back to it recently, I can hail it as a work of perverse genius and better than the over-praised Peggy Suicide.
