do you think the Beatles are incredibly psychedelic?

cause I do lol. I always talk to people about what they think of the Beatles and I feel like I meet surprisingly few psychedelics users that dig them nearly as much as me. I think they were probably some of the most far out people of the 1960s when you compare their acid soaked work to their contemporaries, and you don't have to look far at all into their interviews, performances, lyrics, etc. to see that John and George at least were incredibly incredibly far out. John even described the two as 'way more cracked' from acid than the others, and Paul McCartney had a profound DMT experience.
Obviously most of you probably know this but if you view them as an old timey lame outdated group (like some of my friends still do lol) then I highly recommend listening to Magical Mystery Tour and Sgt. Pepper's. I only post because I believe so strongly in how well they describe and 'simulate' the acid experience even compared to modern music.

Yes, especially The White Album.

the Beatles are great, you could make a case they're 'overrated' but only because they were so insanely successful. Definitely my favorite band from the 60s, and they definitely have psychedelic influences on clear display.
Comparing them to Pink Floyd seems unfair, the two are pretty different (and personally I think early floyd is overrated, Piper just doesn't do it for me, although I could say the same about early beatles)
Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Peppers, Magical Mystery Tour, Abbey Rd, White Album and Let it Be are all great.

They are both amazing and both over hyped for sure. I just like the sound of pink floyd better.

I love Pink Floyd,
There’s definitely room for both. Pink Floyd is totally different, you listen to the whole album and it’s amazing, it’s like a movie.
The Beatles wrote great pop songs. You listen to the white album and you have to skip obladi oblada and a bunch of other hokey shit to get to sexy Sadie, happiness is a warm gun, etc. some of the best songs ever known. So idk I skip a lot of Beatles songs. But the ones I like, I love, they can bring tears of joy
Not to mention The Who, The Rolling Stones, the kinks, to name a few, there was great music coming out of England

I'm hard pressed to chose, very different vibes, personally Floyd is closer to my actual experience of psychedelics with the steady influx of dark imagery, so I would call them more 'psychedelic' at least

Pink floyd has got me through some dark times and they make me feel not so alone in a way if that makes sense. So I suppose that's why I like them better.

It doesn’t have to be VS. lol. One doesn’t have to be better than the other. They’re just two different bands. What happens when you throw The Rolling Stones in the mix? Fuck one, kill one, marry one, go!

There’s nothing wrong with that, I won’t hold it against you. The Beatles had something for everyone. That one’s not for me, it may be even worse than yellow submarine. How about octopus’s garden, or Maxwell’s silver hammer? 😂
