What exactly is considered a psychedelic song?
I guess it depends on your state of mind!

Actually a psychedelic song draws from various types of music styles and cultural influences.
Bands who specialized in blues and folk rock were the early advocates of this type of music.

There are certainly many bands in the U.S. and U.K. who experimented with Psychedelic music in the 60s (along with drugs, too!)
Alas, the genre fizzled out in the early 70s.

Here are 10 of of my favorite Psychedelic songs in no particular order.
What are some of yours?
