[QUOTE=Inuzuka Skysword;710929]Personally the old 70s stuff, besides Pink Floyd and Hendrix, wasn't at all Psychedelic compared to the stuff that is created these days. With that said, here are my top five most psychedelic songs (meaning they aren't necessarily psychedelic rock songs, but instead invoke a psychedelic atmosphere):

I was making a distinction between the stoner/desert genres and the older psychedelic stuff. I'd call a song 'psychedelic' if it relies upon nonsensical or cryptic lyrics. I'd call Stairway to Heaven psychedelic, for example. It's this type of psychedelia I was asking about.

A lot of modern stoner bands (e.g. Kyuss) seem to rely more on the music instead of the lyrics to create atmosphere. Or at least that's how it sounds. I love both types, though.

Thanks for the comment. I am familiar with Kyuss and Sleep. Will have to check out Acid Mothers Temple and Comus.
