"Eight Miles High" is a rock composition created by Gene Clark, Jim McGuinn, and David Crosby. Released as a single in March 1966, the track drew musical inspiration from sitar virtuoso Ravi Shankar and jazz saxophonist John Coltrane. The song proved highly influential in establishing psychedelia and raga rock as distinct musical genres. Music critics frequently recognize it as the first genuine psychedelic rock composition and an iconic work of the counterculture movement.
