    Clearly demonstrates that "psychedelic music" has never been defined. Just anything subjectively labeled so. Jefferson Airplane's next album 'After Bathing at Baxters' and The Doors second album Strange Days are actually much more psychedelic than their listed albums.

      ​@@deangrant6482Are you saying Pepper was more psychedelic than Revolver? If so, while *Tomorrow Never Knows* and *She Said She Said* are explicitly psychedelic both lyrically and musically, I'm struggling to think of analogous tracks on Pepper. Granted, *Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds* is implicitly psychedelic, but Lennon always denied the association

      I don't see how someone subjectively labelling albums as psychedelic demonstrates that there is no definition.

    Generally excellent list. I'm particularly glad to see the criminally underrated Pretty Things on the list, as SF Sorrow is truly one of the greatest albums of the 1960s. But any compilation of psychedelic albums MUST include the Jefferson Airplane, possibly the most psychedelic group of all time. I suppose the problem is that you could include ALL their albums between Surrealistic Pillow and Volunteers on such a list. Also, you forgot The Soft Machine, who were more important in the psychedelic phenomenon than a couple of the bands you include above. Moby Grape were another superb psychedelic band.

    Some extraordinary records on your list. As expansive and expanding as rock got. Such a rich genre though, and the records from the 60s that weren't heard (like C.A. Quintet's - Trip Thru Hell, Fifty Fose Hose - Cauldron, Mad River's eponymous debut from 1968, Creation of Sunlight eponymous album from 1968, and on and on it really does go) could easily be up there. An incredibly rich period for rock music that both major and independent record labels gambled big on.

    There is no such thing as Psychedelic Rock! These are Acid Rock albums. Psychedelic Rock was a term someone made up 30 years after these albums were released. Acid Rock refers to LSD, the drug, which when taken and then listen to this music creates a extra sensual experience. Which can be referred to as ‘Psychedelic.’ During the time these albums were released no one ever referred to them as Psychedelic Rock. No DJ, no record producer, no musician. Psychedelic Rock is way a later generation tried to clean up the
    language to remove the fact that this music was created and listened to around illicit drug use. You can say the music is psychedelic
    to explain the experience, but was never ever identified as anything but Acid Rock! Live with it.

    The Twain Shall Meet was a spotty record, not overly listenable, Cream was Electric Blues, more than psychedelic, Funkadelic was Electric Funk, the Incredible String Band was weird Folk (an not overly listenable), SF Sorrow is the only listenable Pretty Things LP (not that great), I've never heard of Os Mutantes (at all), the Strawberry Alarm Clock had some interesting pieces, but it was drenched in AM Top 40, the United States of America was jazz, more than pop, West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band was forgettable, and the Zombies last LP was a critic's darling that has never lived up to its hype.
    I was there, a teenager coming of age, as it all rolled out. I identified with it, encouraged it, participated, and still, listen to a lot of it, some 57 years later. I own every one o fthe albums on my list, several in multiple formats, and more than a few as second, or even third, copies, having literally worn out the grooves. You missed quite a few good ones, like #3, Spirit's indisputable best, and the latest entry, at 1970. The band's sophomore album, The Family that Plays Together almost makes the cut, but I limited it to one per band. Also missed, #4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, and #11, probably the most psychedelic Lp of the era, Donovan's best, Sunshine Superman, a paean to "Orange Sunshine" LSD.

      Taste is an individual thing, and the original post did note that the list reflected his favorites. Not to say that your choices are any better or worse. Just your own. But without meaning to, I noticed several dating mistakes (and I did NOT check the dates after #11): Traffic came out in England in '67 - retitled with different cover and tracks as "Heaven Is in Your Mind" in '68 in the US, Shine On Brightly in '68 - Salty Dog was Procl's '69 release, Alone Together came out in'70 - note that Mason had toured with Delaney & Bonnie and used their band for backup, and Sunshine Superman came out in '66 - the Mellow Yellow single was also in '66.

      ​ @wyliesmith4244 You are thinking of the 1st Traffic LP, but on the list, I indicate I meant the 2nd album, superior in my opinion, to the first (I prefer the US version of the 1st album, personally). The 2nd record was released in Oct 1968. It is still one of my all-time favorite albums, but I couldn't buy it as a new release, because I spent all of 1968 in the Rotten Republik of VietNam.
      I always think of *Shine on Brightly* as a "1969 album", probably because I loved that record, but I didn't get a copy until January 1969 I liked *A Salty Dog*, but not as much, although I liked that one a lot more than Home. I was a Procol Harum fan from the first time I heard *A Whiter Shade of Pale*, in May 1967. I saw Jimi Hendrix the same month, in Herford.
      As for *Alone Together*, Dave Mason's underrated masterpiece, I did something dumb, when I was making the list, and overlooked a copied date I should have changed. I have an original multi-colored vinyl, with fold-out cover that makes a poster of Dave. I was a fan of Stevie Winwood, by early Summer, 1967. I bought the US version of the 1st Traffic album, in the month before I went to VietNam, along with *Strange Days*, and *Surrealistic Pillow*. *Heaven Is in Your Mind*was released after the New Year.
      I started collecting when I found a pristine copy of a Sun Records Elvis Presley single, *You're Right, I'm Left, She's Gone*, B/W*Baby, I Wanna Play House*.. I've seen almost everyone on the list, except 13th Floor Elevators, Rotary Connection, and Electric Flag, mostly because I was in Europe and southeast Asia during 1967-'68. Some, as I mention, I only got to hear, when I returned to "the World", as we called it. I resumed collecting, writing, and living rock 'n' roll.

      @@TheAnarchitek My mistake, totally, on Traffic. Mr. Fantasy was pictured on another site, and I am afraid that it stuck in my head. As far as I am concerned, you can trash the Traffic albums that came after Winwood left Traffic for Blind Faith. I love the second album, particularly on CD as it adds the five studio cuts from Last Exit. And I, too, bought the Dave Mason album when it came out an. I still treasure it. As long as Trower was in the group, I loved Procol. I dropped acid to see them at my local college only to find that Procol had to cancel. Wilson Pickett went on instead, but my head just wasn't ready for him.

      @@wyliesmith4244 Probably the best album of the year, capturing the times impeccably, Mason counterbalanced Winwood's tendency to ramble on. The album is still high on my Top 200 list. Eric Clapton did a better job of corralling that energy on their 2008 tour, than he did in the studio with Blind Faith.

    I'm something of an obscurist when it comes to pop music, I guess. Some of my favorite 'psychedelic' albums include Gandalf's first, Nova Local, Del Shannon's "The Further Adventures of Charles Westover", and being from Minneapolis, I knew and loved The Paisleys and The Litter.

    You got most of the good ones, with some clunkers. Psychedelic Music only existed for a short while, although a few artists have brought the genre back, for an album. By 1970, the Psych tropes had all been used in Bubble Gum, Mainstream Adult, Pop and Rock genres, diluting the field too much to continue. The albums on this list are the
