I like many of the suggestions in this thread (wouldn't call all of them psychedelic) and I was surprised I didn't see King Crimson in any of the posts. I think these are some of the greatest psychedelic songs:
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 |

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. Finally, inb4 ladyislingering:-

[QUOTE=Lisnaholic;1456375]^ That`s an excellent list
I’m glad you like it. I was just suggesting some good psychedelic songs and I wanted to avoid including otherwise good songs which don’t fall into this category. Anyway, I see there are some disagreements about whether a song should be included or not. At any rate, King Crimson and Velvet Underground shouldn't be left out of such a list. I suppose that if several people did the list it could really be comprehensive. Gavin B’s list is quite impressive - I admit I haven’t heard all of these songs. Turn Turn Turn, I`d Like To Teach The World, Paint It Black, Suzy Q.. are definitely not psychedelic. Once Upon the Seas of Abyssinia fits in perfectly here. |

I notice that most songs being mentioned date from the 60s and 70s, suggesting that the search for psychedelic music is an exercise in historical investigation, or in my case, reminiscence. Here, though, is a band who started out in 2000 and play some wonderful psychedelic instrumentals:- Quote:
I also haven`t heard every song that Gavin B mentions; a couple I just took on trust, like You Can`t Ever Come Down by Joe Byrd and the Field Hippies. Is there, btw, any Bulgarian psychedelia that we are overlooking?

[QUOTE=rostasi;1457029]
This is great, I must say this Psych rock piece by Emil Dimitrov was quite a surprise to me, having listened to so many of his songs.The man was very talented, no doubt, but I never knew he worked in this genre. The second audio is based on a folk song, it can’t go wrong I’ve heard many good ones, folk music is great. And I admit I never knew that psychedelic rock, folk punk and so on were an established genre here. Obviously I've been missing out a lot of things.. |

It's always good to hear Jefferson Airplane and Donovan is also very good.
I can see that this list can go on forever, yet it's better to stick to songs, as it would be impossible to rate the lyrics. |
