King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King (and many other)
Cream - Tales of Brave Ulysses
Pink Floyd - A Saucerful of Secrets, See Emily Play (and many other)
Beatles - Strawberry Fields
Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze
Jefferson Airplane – White Rabbit
The Doors - The End
Velvet Underground – Heroin
Traffic - Paper Sun
Led Zeppelin – Dazed and Confused

^ That`s an excellent list, Ana K, with every song having a real touch of psychedelia. Gavin B also contributed a good list - especially as it included a mention of that strange song,
Sky Pilot.
As you suggest, some songs in this thread fall short in terms of hallucinatory elements. For example
Imagine, Turn Turn Turn and
I`d Like To Teach The World To Sing don`t strike me as psychedelic at all, though I suppose they might be squeezed in under the thread title of "Hippy song". Likewise,
Feel Like I`m Fixing To Die has been mentioned; a great, popular song of the hippy era, but, unlike
Electric Music for Mind And Body, not remotely psychedelic.
