Back in college I enjoyed tripping on psychedelics.

I came across a Joe Byrd and the Field Hippies album and played it with my trip-buddies in the dorm while on acid one night.

Whoa...

I think it's the most psychedelic record I've come across.

It's an obvious choice but White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane.

Ted Nugent's Journey to the Center of Your Mind and In-a-Gadda-da-Vita come to mind, although I'm sure there is a Zappa song that dwarfs them.
I was a Bubble Gum Rock fan at the time.

I'd say Tubular Bells. It's mostly instrumental but when he starts introducing the instruments and says "Grand piano" that has made many people jump out of their skin. I suppose it would do that even more so if the listener was on drugs.

By the way, this thread appears to have been necromanced by a spammer. That last name the user is using, do you know what that is?

There have been a lot of good suggestions. I would mention Procul Harem's "A Whiter Shade of Pale" and "Knights in White Satin" by the Moody Blues.
So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

Never got to hear Moody blues live, but I was on 15 Procol Harum concerts before Brooker died in 2022. Im an Melancholy Man. (Moody Blues)

Procol Harum's 18 minute long epic, In Held Twas In I, is also worth mentioning.

The Beatles’ Revolution 9 from the White Album
Pink Floyd, especially the from earlier albums that you don’t hear on the radio, like Atom Heart Mother; Umma Gumma
Many of Jimi Hendrix’ songs, especially those containing solo performances (Castles Made of Sand; Are You Experienced)
Steely Dan sounds fairly mainstream, but perhaps if one “turns on” before “tuning in”… Fagens voice/singing style is a little out there (in a good way, to me).
It’s a dog eat dog world out there… …or maybe it’s the other way around.

Purple Haze has many of the right lyrics. Of course, the Beatles (L)ucy in the (S)ky with (D)iamonds. Most of Pink Floyd's best selling album sounds like an acid trip especially on headphones.

Purple haze all in my brain
Lately, things just don't seem the same
Actin' funny but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

Purple haze all around
Don't know if I'm comin' up or down
Am I happy or in misery?

Purple haze all in my eyes
Don't know if it's day or night
You got me blowin', blow my mind
Is it tomorrow, or just the end of time?

Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf

they got the name Steppenwolf from the novel of the same name by Herman Hesse which is also great and pretty far out

I like to dream, yes, yes
Right between the sound machine
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near
To the stars away from here

Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me, little girl
On a magic carpet ride

Well, you don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free

Close your eyes, girl
Look inside, girl
Let the sound take you away

Last night I hold Aladdin's lamp
And so I wished that I could stay
Before the thing could answer me
Well, someone came and took the lamp away
I looked around, a lousy candle's all I found

The Grateful Dead were the house band for the Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test when LSD was legal in California in the mid-1960s . Some of their live recordings where done by a band that was tripping and performed to an entire audience that was, as well, while Kesey and Owlsley carefully observed which musical progressions set people off.

Giving credit to thrice game,here are 3 clues about a musician I wouldn't necessarily call psychidelic
#1 though the song isn't about what it appears to be "I'm in you" was the highest charting single by what mostly 70's artist?
#2 before big mountain revived it in the 90's "baby I love your way"wAs originally recorded by what talk-box rocker?
#3 one of the best all times albums is 76's "comes alive" by what English-american whose name anagrams to frappe torment?
I didn't know this just thought it was interesting

One year, he was booed off the stage as the first of two warm-up bands for Grand Funk at Shea Stadium. Two years later, he headlined at Shea Stadium. I always wondered if he even remembered it.

White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane____________19 million views

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
He called Alice
When she was just small

When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know

When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's off with her head
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head
Feed your head
the foolish sayings of a rich man often pass for words of wisdom by the fools around him
