Help! Psychedelic party playlist needed.

[rut]

Dear people,

I'm throwing a party themed 'psychedelica' next saturday. I've been downloading a lot of psychedelic rock/pop/electronica and I don't think everything will fit the party atmosphere.

I'm looking for
- pyschedelic
- not too mellow/folky
- preferably bluesy/rockish/catchy (jefferson airplane, jimi hendrix, ... )
- but also new more electronica based stuff (animal collective, m83, ... )

Please send me a nice collection!
Thanks a lot.
Rut

Well. You can't NOT put The Beatles I think. Some danceable tunes:

- And Your Bird Can Sing
- Drive My Car
- Day Tripper

Those Are the beginning of Beatles Psychedelia in my opinion and more danceable.

Then there are these other cool songs of other bands:

- Break On Though (Doors)
- Light My Fire (Doors - Don't Play The Entire Song)
- Touch Me (Doors)
- All Along The Watchtower (Hendrix)
- Sunshine Superman (Donovan)
- Time to Pretend (MGMT)
- Kids (MGMT)
- Caravan (Inspiral Carpets)
- Saturn 5 (Inspiral Carpets)
- In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida (Iron Butterfly)
- This Is The One (Stone Roses)
- I Am The Resurrection (Stone Roses)
- Waterfall (Stone Roses)
- The Day That Curly Billy Shot Down Crazy Sam McGee (Hollies)
- Lucid Dreams (Franz Ferdinand)

(Not all of these can be considered strictly psychedelic, but they fit the vibe and the mood you're trying to create).

Thank you thank you! Some obvious ones I forgot in there as well .

Keep em coming please!

And it doesn't have to be strictly / pure psychedelic.

Crimson and Clover - Tommy James & The Shondells
You Keep Me Hangin' On - Vanilla Fudge
Incense and Peppermints - Strawberry Alarm Clock
Along Comes Mary - The Association
