That's more an example of "faux pschedelia". Poor ol' Kenny's trying too hard...

Jimi Hendrix - "Are You Experienced"
Jefferson Airplane - "White Rabbit"
The Beatles - "Tomorrow Never Knows"
The Electric Prunes - "I Had Too Much to Dream Last Night"
CCR - "Suzie-Q" (listen to that middle section)
Rolling Stones - "The Lantern"
The Byrds - "Eight Miles High"
The Kinks - "Lazy Old Sun"

and early Pink Floyd most definitely.

Glad to see that my top two are in there--Journey to the Center of the Mind (BTW I saw Ted Nugent and The Amboy Dukes when it came out--he was the opening act for Tiny Tim!

However the correct answer is "I Had To Much To Dream Last Night". Hearing it is the closest thing to teleporting back to the 60's.

dvd-4-life's list did bring back some other great memories.

What, are you guys on drugs?!?!? Oh, wait...

But seriously, how could any discussion of psychedelic songs not include the Dead? Geez, they were a psychedelic BAND, after all. Although not my favorite, Darkstar would have to be up there. Perhaps the Other One, too...

I don't know any song titles, but surely the 13th Floor Elevators must have a few. Same with "? and the Mysterians".

I don't know about a top ten, but I can offer my top 12. Every damn track on Spirit: Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus.

Don't know about anyone else, but I wasn't trying to give a "definitive" list of psychedelic songs, just the ones I enjoy (which is why my list kinda sucks). I know the Dead are most definitely a psychedelic band, but seeing as how I hate them, they're not on my list.

But I will make the claim that Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows" and Byrds' "Eight Miles High" paved the psychedelic road for everybody else (although Kinks' "See My Friends", done in 1965, might be a strong contender as well). But feel free to disagree, 'cause I'm not as smart as I let on...
