Can anyone recommend me some great psychedelic 60's music

hi, im kinda new to alot of 60's music and i wanna find out about it some more, but the type of 60's music that stood out in my mind the most is what i think is called psychedelic. what kind of sound i'm talking about is the austin powers theme song that i think quincy jones did and 'beautiful stranger' by madonna. its also in 'im a beliver' by the monkees, that song is really one of my favourites and kinda got me hooked to begin with. ive also heard 'in the garden of eden' by iron butterfly, and thats also an example of the kinda sound im refering to. so can anyone recommend me some really great songs that fall under this catergory?

Starbuck already mentioned some great ones, such as The Beatles, The Doors, Pink Floyd, etc.

Here are a few more bands to check out...

The Soft Machine
The Steve Miller Band (early days)
The Animals
The Pretty Things
The Who
The Yardbirds
The Small Faces
Cream
Big Brother and the Holding Company
The Byrds (think "Mr. Tambourine Man" )

to name a few more. All of these bands had a sort of "psychedelic period" and put out albums in that vein, although they were not necessarily limited to that genre.

Maybe I'm just stretching because they're my favorite band (or at least my favorite R&B band) but I'd also recommend Sly & the Family Stone. The music historian cliche is that their music was a mixture of "gospel, pop, soul, and psychedelia". Admittedly the later is not a very heavily emphasized aspect of their music and it mostly refers to their use of heavy fuzz toned guitar (and bass), but they have also occasionally employed other trappings of psychedelic music like strange psychotic/schizophrenic lyrics ("I cannot make it" one of my favorite examples) and "trippy" sound effects/production(again using a song from their debut as an example "trip to your heart").

I HIGHLY recommend Shocking Blue! They are a band from the 60's from Denmark I think? The singer has an amazing voice and they are quite funky as well. They did the original to "Venus" which you probably know from Bananarama's cover in the 80's. They rock!
