  7. The Decline of Psychedelic Rock Psychedelic Rock declined by the end of the 1960’s, early 1970’s. LSD had been made illegal in the US and the UK in 1966. Charles Manson and his family of followers claimed to be inspired by The Beatles’ psychedelic songs when they murdered Sharon Tate, Leno LaBianca, and Rosemary LaBianca. Icons of the genre also passed away such as Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones, Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac, and Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd. Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Jim Morrison (of The Doors), also passed away. Their deaths were all drug-related. These horrible events led to the decline of psychedelic rock. Psychedelic rock influenced current music because it was the first genre to introduce the synthesizing instruments and voices and experimenting with new types of instruments. In current music, you hear a lot of auto-tuning and computer-generated instruments which was influenced by psychedelic rock. It also built the bridge to harsher music, such as heavy metal, which became very popular in the 1980’s.
