We here at PsychRock.com have a collection of people with musical experiences that add up to many years. But . . . being we are open minded and always craving something new , we still seek out music we’ve never heard before. New & old. So, we took to Reddit to see what users from the “Interwebs” believed were the “Go To” Psych Rock Albums. Comment for any suggestions!
