Psychocandy is the debut album by the Scottish alternative rock band The Jesus and Mary Chain, released in November 1985. Psychocandy utilised the then-radical notion of combining simple pop tunes, à la The Beach Boys, with searing guitar noise more akin to The Velvet Underground. The album is considered to be a landmark recording, frequently appearing in "best-ever" album lists, such as Q magazine's list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever, where it placed at number 88 in 2000. In 2003, the album was ranked number 268 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
