Edit: Holy fucking shit y'all. Every time I post anywhere else, like IfILikeBlank or something, I don't really get a lot of replies. This is quite the list. I'd like to answer everyone individually but this is overwhelming. Been listening and got a lot of great suggestions. Really appreciate it!

Greetings internet friends!

Every year for the past several years I put together a megamix of all the songs that resonated with me over the last 12 months. 2024 wound up being a great year of music discovery, so after completing my best-of playlist, I realized there was enough on the cutting room floor to assemble a whole ‘nother playlist of what I was vibing to. It was a heady year for me, full of a lot of introspection and personal discovery. These are the tracks that got me through it.

Members of this sub provided me with hours of inspiration this year, so with an abundance of gratitude, I share these with you. You might even find tracks that you personally recommended here.

I love psychedelic rock because it’s the meta-genre that spans across so many different styles, each resonating in ways that make the mind and body buzz and hum in the ecstasy of sonic bliss. Amid the fuzzed-out grooves herein you’ll find surf rock, freak-folk, barn-stomping Americana, soul, funk, disco, punk, dream pop, and psychedelic freakouts from around the globe.

The great challenge was trying not to double-dip too much. This could have easily just been the full albums from GUM & Ambrose Kenny-Smith, Broncho, Pond, Panda Bear, Babe Rainbow, Twen, and Drugdealer that I listened to on repeat for days at a time.

I particularly enjoy walking the tightrope of seamlessly transitioning between songs that ought to have no business next to each other, so stay on your toes. I’d love to hear about any moments that made you say WTF?! Curious if you vibed more with Part 1 or Part 2. I very much want to know where this music took you and where we’re going from here.

I hope you enjoy!

I love psychedelic rock but I think weed, alcohol, and nicotine should be banned or higher restrictions. Just wanted to share this opinion

Track/album recs please
