maxwells silver hammer is great. an upbeat tempo song about a murderous student clobbering people with his silver hammer. classic

for some reason I never got into the Stones, can't say why they just largely don't interest me. I did grow up listening to the Beatles and Pink Floyd so maybe its unfair to expect anything else

Yeah I donât care about anything they did after the early 70s. Theyâre probably my least favorite of the British Invasion bands but I still love them. The Who, the kinks, and the Beatles are the best. The Who and the kinks are really predecessors to punk rock and even grunge in the case of The Who. All of these bands are great.
Pink Floyd came later with a dark psychedelic thing that was amazing and different from these other bands.

Maxwell's Silver Hammer is a musical masterpiece, second only to Rocky Racoon.

Totally agree with thr original post. The Beatles are most certainly psychedelic but in their own special way..
Seargent Pepper, Revolver, Magical Myatery Tour, The White Album. All very psychedelic albums
So good their weird stuff is their best stuff.

Alot of people forget about some the more obscure Beatles tracks and the early early "dark" years playing clubs in Munich on speed tablets and all sorts of german pharmaceuticals and animal tranquilizers.

Beatles not really psychedelic at all. Classical music is more psychedelic i'd argue to the grave. Einstein would even agree

Yeah their early stuff was poppy rock with no real trace of anything psychedelic.

The Beatles helped popularize and cement the psychedelic movement in popular culture with the 1965 album rubbersoul. It set a stylized tone. Norwegian wood with its use of sitar and introspective lyrics inspired by Bob Dylan who sold them the pot and acid has long been heralded as a ground breaking moment in music by musical and cultural historians the world over and perfectly encompasses the fusion of so many things that created the psychedelic movement. along with very early songs with double entandre like ticket to ride and day tripper which have a classic psychedelic rock sound again inspired by Dylan Mr tamporine man or songs like dear Mr fantasy. The Beatles ARE psychedelic rock theres no question. Remember floyd didn't come out with thier first album till 67 when the Beatles were doing stadium tours and Sargeant pepper.

The other classic rock bands mentioned (Pink Floyd, Stones, Who, Kinks, etc.) are all very psychedelic at times too, but I really don't think they come close to where the Beatles were at in 1966-1968. Pink Floyd, true or not, claims that they only really used psychedelics once or twice and that Syd Barrett was the real fan of them in the band, and even if they're just trying to save face and really did use them a lot I think it's really cool how honest the Beatles were about how much they believed in LSD.
I really don't think there are any bands with a more psychedelic sound in that time period, and even countless bands after have been super strongly influenced by the psychedelic side of the Beatles, not just their pop sensibilities. Particularly interesting was seeing that Boards of Canada were big fans of the Beatles, saying 'they really became enthralling to use through their psychedelia'.
here's a little BoC if you haven't heard of them:

EDIT: also here is a clip that I believe is of John Lennon trippin balls at the Rock N Roll Circus in 1968 lol

They had their moments when they had some really trippy music, but overall, no.

Pink Floyd is by far one of the pioneers of the genra. Their later albums lose a lot of the psychedelic appeal but the albums saucer full of secrets up to dark side of the moon are pure psychedelia.
IMO the Beatles donât hold a candle to where Pink Floyd took it.

The Beatles made some fantastic psychedelic music 
I am convinced the best psychedelic music from the 1960s and 70s came from the Velvet Underground but the Beatles are really fucking close in my book.

Don't get me wrong, Pink Floyd have some incredibly good and lyrically profound stuff after Syd Barrett. And of course Atom Heart Mother and Ummagumma are more in the 'freak out' vein than a lot of stuff so that's a psychedelic side to them they have going. And I really honestly believe that Piper at the Gates of Dawn is right up there with the Beatles most trippy stuff.
But I think the difference here is that Pink Floyd makes music that sounds really good when you're tripping, whereas Beatles make music about tripping that sounds really good when you're tripping. Pink Floyd were some amazing amazing musicians and songwriters and lyricists but the Beatles are just more random/fried sounding to me, which is in my mind a little closer to super strong psychedelic experiences. In my mind it's like comparing a beautifully arranged classical composition that isn't about tripping but pairs really well with a super glitchy IDM track- they are both enjoyable while under the influence, and maybe the classical music is even better because it is more thought out and well made, but the IDM stuff still blows my mind because of how close they get to the chaotic side of the psychedelic experience translated straight into sounds.
bottom line to me is I see Piper at the Gates as Pink Floyd's most psychedelic sounding album no question, and that took quite a bit from the Beatles. And that Atom Heart/Ummagumma stuff was well after the Beatles did that freaky stuff
