Their self-titled debut album came out in 1971, and they continued to release a string of albums that showcased their evolving style.

One of their most well-known releases is Phos (1976), a collaboration with famed composer Vangelis, which added a progressive rock flair to their sound. Over the years, Socrates Drank the Conium garnered a cult following, especially among fans of classic and psychedelic rock. Despite lineup changes and the passage of time, their music continues to resonate with listeners who appreciate raw, vintage rock with a philosophical twist.
