I'm a big fan of The Doors and The Who, but for some reason Grateful Dead is just one of those bands I never looked into. I'll need to change that as soon as I boot my desktop back up
If you're into prog rock, check out some of the sub-genre's classic psych acts. Gong and Hawkwind are pretty big and have a lot of diverse music to offer. Also check out Ozric Tentacles, crazy good atmospheric psych. For Gong I'd recommend "Angel's Egg" and "You". For Hawkwind "Warrior on the Edge of Time" and "Space Ritual". For Ozrics check out "Jurassic Shift", "Erpland", or "Strangitude".
If you like any of these bands let me know, that'll give way to more recommendations. Especially Ozric Tentacles, many bands now are using their template.
I like Hawkwind a lot, something different, very good. Ozric Tentacles, too. I especially like the song "Erpland". Not as much variation from them as I would like, but still good.
If your child ain't all he should be now
This girl could put him right.
I'll show him what he could be now
Just give me one night.
I'm the Gypsy - the acid queen.
Pay before we start.
I'm the Gypsy - I'm guaranteed.
I'll tear your soul apart.
Give us a room, close the door
Leave us for a while.
Your boy won't be a boy no more
Young, but not a child.
I'm the Gypsy - the acid queen.
Pay before we start.
The Gypsy - I'm guaranteed.
I'll tear your soul apart.
Gather your wits and hold on fast,
Your mind must learn to roam.
Just as the Gypsy Queen must do
You're gonna hit the road.
My work is done now look at him
He's never been more alive.
His head it shakes his fingers clutch.
Watch his body rise!
I'm the Gypsy - the acid queen.
Pay before we start.
I'm the Gypsy - I'm guaranteed.
To break your little heart.
If your child ain't all he should be now
This girl will put him right.
I'll show him what he could be now
Just give me one night.
I'm the Gypsy - the acid queen.
Pay before we start.
I'm the Gypsy - I'm guaranteed.

It's not even the least bit hidden.
In my opinion, Tommy in it's entirety is pretty psychedelic...

Nice, I'll try to get a bit more obscure for you then.
Hidria Spacefolk - These guys make music with a similar atmosphere to the Ozrics, but with a very different sound. If you find the Ozrics to be a bit samey then Hidria is your band, their music is more diversified. All of their albums are pretty solid, haven't listened to them in a while but I remember preferring their third the most.
Kingston Wall - These guys are closer to straight-up hard rock most of the time, but they're massively psychedelic and get quite proggy as well. Check out their second album, its great. First is more garage-y while the third is still good, but a bit watered down compared to the other two. Unfortunately a very short-lived band for their talent, I believe the lead singer committed suicide just as they started to get really big in Finland.
Korai Öröm - Another Ozric type band, again with a more diversified sound. They started out doing organic, world influenced type stuff that was pretty repetitive. However they keep changing their sound and its gotten much more rock oriented since 2000. I'd recommend everything after that, especially 2005. *drool*
The Growing Concern - old 1968 band, found them when looking through DJ Shadow samples
Kayo Dot - They may not fit with what you're looking for, being more metal, BUT I DON'T CARE. THEY'RE FUCKING GOOD. You'd be hard pressed for something that sounds more psychedelic.
Mr Bungle - Mike Patton is god to some. Not me, but he's a very talented vocalist, and the rest of it's pleasurably weird.
