        Absolutely Free -- The Mothers of Invention

        Sample lyrics:
        ("Flower power sucks, sucks, sucks, sucks....")
        Diamonds on velvet on golden on vixen
        on comet and cupid on donner and blitzen
        on up and away and afar and a go-go
        Escape from the weight of your corporate logo
        Unbind your mind, there is no time
        To lick your stamps and paste them in
        Discorporate and we'll begin


        Turtles: The Last Thing I Remember (The First Thing I Knew)

        Bob Dylan: My Back Pages

        Not sure if they're psychedelic, but:

        SONGS BY DONOVAN THAT COULD NOT HAVE POSSIBLY BEEN WRITTEN WHILE STRAIGHT:

        There is a Mountain
        Wear Your Love Like Heaven

                  Has no one posted "Itchykoo Park" by Small Faces yet? That's kinda the ultimate psychedelic AM radio song of the 60s...

                  It's all too beautiful!

                      I have the CD copy of "Ogden" that came in a metal tobacco can with the CD inside. Very cool.
                      Actually, Itchykoo Park is not on that album, but the "side two" portion with the nonsense story is VERY psychedelic...

    How about the Move and Tyrannosaurus Rex? "Flowers in the Rain" and "One Inch Rock" seem to fit the bill.
