By Maddy LehrMusic Journalist Psychedelic rock comes in so many different forms, and that is something I really love about the genre.

Following a decade dominated by hair metal and dance-pop, the '90s would make a name for itself by largely shedding the happy-go-lucky attitude, and taking on a much grittier approach.
