A lot of the San Francisco psych bands were live jam bands (quicksilver, grateful dead, Jefferson airplane, etc). It's the influence of the drugs, more than a place and time. Psych is far too diverse to be boxed in like that. It's like saying only Jelly Roll Morton and Louis Armstrong were the only jazz musicians ever. While San Fran, Canterbury (and London), and krautrock undeniably belong in the psychedelic cannon, things have moved on a lot since that initial (acid) explosion.As for punk, what now is marketed as punk is a pale polished carbon copy of an amazingly diverse, raw, and artistic underground music scene. It should be about art and ideas (and possibly politics). Now it's just marketing rebellion (but so were the sex pistols).
