got a mixed bag of some neo-psych and some older stuff.

Some great bands have been mentioned here, but everyone seems to be leaving out the great modern psychedelic rock that's been floating around.
People should be pretty familiar with these guys:

How could Gong go forgotten in a psychedelic rock thread?

For sure. When I think Gong I always think Hawkwind as well though.

Hooray for Psychedelic Music! Since my fellow MB members have most of the Sixties originals covered, I'll contribute a few selections from the contemporary neo-psychedelic scene.
Kula Shaker's music often sounds like the baroque psychedelica of the Beatles. This video of Peter Pan RIP is one my favorites. It has a great storyline and is a parable of the universal hippie ethic of peace love and understanding. The video was filmed in beautiful Kensington Gardens in London. The guy who plays the old soldier is George Baker, a veteran member of the Royal Shakespeare Theater who can convey a thousand words with a single facial expression. Baker shared the stage and played a few screen roles with the great Sir John Mills who is the grandfather of Crispian Mills, Kula Shaker's founder and front man.

The Flower Machine has recorded a body of work that sounds like lost music from an obscure sixties psychedelic group.

My current favorite neo-psychedelic band is the Pillbugs from Toledo Ohio (of all places!). The Pillbugs play music that spans entire range of psychedelic styles from British groups like Pink Floyd & Hendrix, to the San Francisco Fillmore Ballroom bands, to LA flower power garage rock of the Seeds/Chocolate Watch Band, to the pop psychedelica of groups like the Free Design, Sagittarius & the Lemon Pipers. These guys are awesome.
