The Beatles have not been really been mentioned so I will talk about them. The thing I noticed their Psychedelic sound is so unlike what anyone else was doing at the time it really for the most part veers towards Art-Rock.

Take "Tomorrow Never Knows" for instance has Tamboura drones, modal tune, backward guitar, tape loops, ADT, mellotron, vocals played through revolving speakers, distortedly close-up miking of instruments, and a psychedelically mystical "outlook.

For the most part early to mid 1966 most of the so-called psychedelic songs I have heard sound more like garage rock with Psych elements.
