- The Beatles, "Strawberry Fields Forever" (1967) While psychedelia had already been established by early 1967, "Strawberry Fields Forever" was more or less the real start of the genre.
- Pink Floyd, "See Emily Play" (1967) Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd expertly fused the light and dark sides of psychedelia; for every pop song about a gnome or scarecrow on their debut, there was one free-form freak-out.
- The Byrds, "Eight Miles High" (1966) "Eight Miles High" is not only one of the first psychedelic rock songs but also one of the best. Guitarist Roger McGuinn's expert fusion of Indian and jazz melodies on his Rickenbacker 12-string signaled the start of an exciting new era.
- The Who, "I Can See For Miles" (1967) The Who may have hopped on the psychedelic bandwagon later than most of their contemporaries, but "I Can See for Miles" proves they could do it just as well - if not better.
In Britain, psychedelia tended to be whimsical and surrealistic. Nevertheless, bands -- most notably Pink Floyd and Traffic -- played extended instrumentals that relied on improvisation as much as their American contemporaries the Grateful Dead, the Doors, Love, and Jefferson Airplane.
