Yeah, I need some psychedelic rock recommendations.
I'm already familiar with Syd Barrett's solo stuff and I like it quite a bit. Modern stuff is good too!
-
Dengue Fever
-
The new Flaming Lips album really gives me a psychedelic vibe; seems very influenced by krautrock and 60's experimental.
-
The Lava Children
EDIT: for clarification, here is the description from their last.fm page.
This music may have been found inside a rotting old fish, plucked from a muddy, overgrown swamp and encrusted with plankton and river rot. It could have been stuck in an ice block in the far-flung pitch-black night of the frozen tundra or growing out of a patch of moss and fungus on the side of a mighty California redwood tree. It could’ve been found buried in an Egyptian desert wasteland, firmly clutched to the now-hollow chest of some bygone dusty old corpse… and it just might be cursed. Hell- maybe it’s from space, or some kind of message from the future.

Colour Haze
Grails
Dead Meadow
Moccassin
Titan
etc.
Check the mediafire thread for anything onewheelwizzard uploaded that isn't dub. That will get you started.

oh, and in a similar vein as the 13th Floor Elevators is one of my personal favorites Quicksilver Messenger Service. Their album "Happy Trails" is a masterpiece and their guitar player is, hands down, one of my favorites of all time.
-
The Grateful Dead.
-
Porcupine Tree is pretty good.
-
ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE

goddman, I'm really loving Colour Haze. Thanks everyone.
-
Khar wins this thread, it has to be Hawkwind. Just get Space Ritual.
-
Bigelf? They're pretty good live.
-
Seconding Titan, that is some trippy stöff.
Also, to sort of hijack the thread, I would appreciate if someone pointed out some good psychadelic doom stuff to me.
-
You should probably just get Nuggets (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuggets_(album))
-
MGMT lol
-
Hawkwind is the right answer.
Also, Pink Floyd's first album.

- Black Moth Super Rainbow would be at the top of my list, a true one-of-a-kind type of band. Dandelion Gum in particular is a masterpiece.
- There's a new group called BLK JKS who make wild, unpredictable South African-influenced psychedelic.
- For some good old-school psychedelic records, it's hard to argue with Country Joe & The Fish's first album, Electric Music For The Mind And Body. Or of course the Jefferson Airplane masterpiece, Surrealistic Pillow.
- If you're into spooky, psychedelic desert-folk, than both Pocahaunted and Arthur & Yu should be immediate listens. Then drop some peyote and wander.
- Brazil's Os Mutantes aren't just a psychedelic group, they're many different genres blended into a distinct taste. World, Pop, Folk...if you can think of it, they probably did it.
- And if you like your psychedelia with a healthy dose of Beatles-pop, London's The Pretty Things are just fantastic. Particularly worth mentioning is the garage rock clatter of Get The Picture? and the dreamy, aptly-titled Parachute.
- And there's Devendra Banhart's many projects of freak-folk stylings, Rejoicing In The Hands being his magnum-opus. See also: Priestbird, CocoRosie, Megapuss.

His solo album, Sunset Notes, is really good as well.

Yes? No?

I third (?) the acid Mothers Temple recommendation. Fucking mindblowing.
oh and if you like the psychadelic folk stuff posted so far, you should really get this album
(http://www.progarchives.com/progressive_rock_discography_covers/912/cover_4548211122005.jpg)
-
Check out The Brian Jonestown Massacre.
Evergreen (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Lgml9jLfM8) is a track off of their dreamy, psych-shoegaze album Methodrone.
Anenome (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StV9lElcvAY), off Their Satanic Majesties' Second Request, modeled heavily on and in tribute to the Stones album Their Satanic Majesties' Request.
That Girl Suicide (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOiVm4wneII), off the space rock (Spacemen 3, Spiritualized, Hawkwind) album Spacegirl & Other Favorites.
Take It From The Man (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSfVc0Xorhk), off their blues/garage rock album of the same name. If you dig 13th Floor Elevators, early Stones, or anything off Nuggets you will love this.
Swallowtail (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqP_U6YuiTU), off the 1998 Peel Sessions.
Going To Hell (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSptPm1C1nM), off Strung Out in Heaven
Those should be a decent primer to help you figure out if you like them or not. They've changed stylistically many times over the years but still remain a fantastic band.
Also if you like Super Furry Animals and Apples in Stereo and all those, check out The Dandy Warhols and The Living Things.
