Psychedelic: Gong
Formed in Paris in 1967, Gong was the brainchild of singer-guitarist Daevid Allen, and featured members from the UK, Australia, US, France, and Fiji. With a solid foundation in psychedelia, Gong fused world music with funk, rock, pop and jazz, coupled with excellent musicianship to produce one of the best bands of the genre. They released seven albums between 1970 and 1976, featuring incarnations of its classic line-ups. More albums followed from 1992 and a modern Gong line-up is still going strong.
