Name 15 of your favorite psychedelic songs, but no more than 5 songs per band. (Otherwise, I'd have a list of nothing but Beatles and Monster Magnet.) I put my list in alphabetical order.

1.Baby Gotterdammerung - Monster Magnet
2. Boris - Melvins; I'd call it psychedelic, just slow and sludgy. Or maybe I'm just trying to justify sneaking the Melvins in somewhere.
3. Come Together - Beatles
4. Dopes To Infinity - Monster Magnet
5. Fairies Wear Boots - Black Sabbath
6. I Am The Walrus - Beatles; Perhaps my favorite psychedelic song.
7. Joan Crawford - Blue Oyster Cult; The lyrics are insane.
8. L.A. Woman - Doors
9. Magic Carpet Ride - Steppenwolf
10. Man on the Silver Mountain - Rainbow
11. Octopus's Garden - Beatles
12. Subhuman - Blue Oyster Cult
13. Tales of Brave Ulysses - Cream
14. Waitin' for the Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago - ZZ Top
15. Werewolves of London - Warren Zevon

I didn't include banRAB like Electric Wizard or Sleep. They're great stoner banRAB, but not exactly what I mean by 'psychedelic'.
 
Ooh, good thread. Here's one for now. Quite the predictable one, but I'm calling on Echoes.

Pink Floyd:

2. Interstellar Overdrive
3. Saucerful of Secrets

5. On The Run

Grateful Dead:
6. That's It for The Other One (off Anthem of the Sun)
7. Rosemary
8. Mountains of the Moon
9. Dark Star (off Live Dead)

Hendrix:
10. 3rd Stone from the Sun
11. And the GoRAB made Love -> Have You Ever Been to Electric Ladyland
12. Rainy Day Dream Away + Still Raining Still Dreaming
13. Voodoo Chile + Slight Return

14. Tomorrow Never Knows

Personally the old 70s stuff, besides Pink Floyd and Hendrix, wasn't at all Psychedelic compared to the stuff that is created these days. With that said, here are my top five most psychedelic songs (meaning they aren't necessarily psychedelic rock songs, but instead invoke a psychedelic atmosphere):

5. Dark Stars in a Dazzling Sky - Acid Mothers Temple
4. 50 Million Year Trip - Kyuss
3. Time - Pink Floyd
2. Drip Drip by Comus
1. Dopesmoker - Sleep
