More modern hippie-ness from Tame Impala.

Do you prefer that to the original by United States of America? I like the way Joe Byrd and the Field Hippies' version ends, but as a whole I think that USA's is better. Very nice selection on that list though. My favourite psychedelic group these days is Fifty Foot Hose, they're ****ing awesome.

Some incredible **** for 68.

Some 60’s hippie-ness from Aussie band The Master’s Apprentice.

It’s Because I Love You

Strawberry Fields Forever. it helped to prop open my mind to new and increasingly strange music - which has been pouring in ever since.

Gavin B's list is great - but I would not really see Led Zeppelin as psychedelic. The latter days of The Yardbirds, with Beck and then Page, do just about cut it.

I refuse to name anything best, but here's an underappreciated one:

I definitely agree on how underappreciated that one is. I think people get thrown off by the weirdness of Alan's Breakfast and the title track to remember that track.

Oh man, but the title track is wonderful too. Especially when they break into the guitar and organ playing some funky licks around 10 mins in. I understand though, it can be a long 10 minutes sometimes.

Maybe not the best but "Theme From A Dream" by Agnes Strange (1972) is well worth a listen.
Wah wah overload!!
