Heavy Blues Rock

This opened up the gates to the new guard in 1967 of Cream, the Doors, Hendrix, Janice Joplin and Frank Zappa and the myriad of the psychedelic bands from north of San Francisco down to LA and San Diego in southern California.

List The San Francisco Grateful Dead, Big Brother & the Holding Company, Jefferson Airplane, Love and Donovan, in  LA The Doors, The Byrds, and American west coast bands, their best known songs or albums contrasted with blues-rock in the UK Stones, Yardbirds, Cream and London’s own psychedelic scene with Pink Floyd, Soft Machine and UFO.

The psychedelic age would go on to spawn a more advanced genre called Prog Rock or Progressive rock if you will. This would go on to some interesting hybrids in jazz fusion Weather Report, Miles Davis, , and prog rock, pioneered by groups like Yes, King Crimson, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Zappa.
