Get the subwoofingmug. Rock music with overtones of psychedelia. Generally blues based, like most rock, but often the most psychedelic aspects of this kind of music come from the juxtaposition of traditional rock sounds with outlandish ones (ie: When the Beatles used a sitar rather than a guitar).
The Psychedelic aspect can also come in the lyrics, though it is rare to see psychedelic lyrics without music that fits the part.
Popular techniques in this genre are to use exotic musical styles and warbly effects in order to simulate (or perhaps even STIMULATE) the effects of psychedelic drugs.
The definition of psychedelic rock is not set in stone, and therefore almost anything, even if it doesn't fit these criteria, can be included as long as it has that 'trippy' feel.

Get the psychedelic rockmug. Robin Trower is a British blues guitarist who played with Procol Harum in the 1960s and went on to solo work in the 70s, paired up with Jack Bruce of Cream in the 80s, and continues to write music to this day.
His style is noted as being very similar to that of Jimi Hendrix, and like Hendrix he was self-taught.
Despite being relatively unknown in modern times, his debut solo album, Bridge of Sighs (1974), is regarded as being one of the best Rock and Roll albums ever by many critics.

Get the Robin Trowermug. Proper way to pronounce forty.
Used to reference a 40 ounce bottle of malt liquor, though any bottle of this size is technically a foaty, regardless of its content.

Get the Foatymug. Richard Nixon.
Since the name Dick has come to be more commonly used as slang for a penis, to say 'Dick Nixon' when referring to the man is sometimes intentionally irreverent or insulting.
Also used as a reference to the penis.

Get the MR Fmug. This garden universe vibrates complete.
Some we get a sound so sweet.
Vibrations reach on up to become light,
And then through gamma, out of sight.
Between the eyes and ears there lie,
The sounds of colour and the light of a sigh.
And to hear the sun, what a thing to believe.
But it's all around if we could but perceive.
To know ultra-violet, infra-red and X-rays,
Beauty to find in so many ways.
Two notes of the chord, that's our fluoroscope.
But to reach the chord is our lifes hope.
And to name the chord is important to some.
So they give a word, and the word is OM.
