The best Dylan you "need to listen to" is done by The Byrds.

I always thought of psychedelic music as having strange melodies and using exotic instruments (stuff like making guitars sound sitars). Bands that started off playing the blues or folk ended up making psychedelic music somewhere along the line. And some bands that started off with Psychedelic went on to other things like Traffic. It seems it was all mixed up back then like where would the Grateful Dead be without their country and folk influence?
