Dub step is incredibly trippy... especially when on acid

I don't have any experience with it. Is it like drum n bass? I like some drum n bass i've heard over the years, the stuff with vocals like pendulum but never really knew where to look/get started

Tomorrow Never Knows is full blown psychedelia. It's the aural equivalent of an acid trip.

Pretty much agree with most of your ratings although not sure about Good Vibrations. More of a feel good pop song then psychedelic rock. I'd also give Eight Miles High a higher rating.

Both Pepper and Piper would be 10/10 too. Albums don't come anymore acid drenched then these two.
 
The Electric Prunes - I Had Too Mush To Dream Last Night.
Chocolate Watchband - I Aint No Miracle Worker/Dark Side Of The Mushroom
The Seeds - 900 Million People Daily(All Makin Love)
Rocky Erickson & The 13th Floor Elevators - Slip Inside This House.

All Would have to be in the top 10 Psychedelic songs ever.

Rocky Erickson & The 13th Floor Elevators - Slip Inside This House.
Yeah that song is great, so is "You're Gonna Miss Me". Primal Scream did a cover of Slip Inside This House, but here's another good psych song they did in the early 90s:

You would give Somebody to Love by Jefferson Airplane a zero? Really? Great psychadelic song IMO.

Not that it's a bad song, just never evoked psychedelic images to me.

That Seeds track is my pick out of those.

Some of the stuff by The Church in the 80's had a psychedelic feel. They did a cover of Harrison's "It's All Too Much" iirc.
