    Not necessarily psychedelic, but the Animals' cover of "House of the Rising Sun" has a beautiful organ part, so does "Nights in White Satin" by the Moody Blues. I loooove the Hammond organ, it's my favorite instrument. :)

    Get a load of some Dennis Coffey, I think there is some Hammond organ in there. I take it's the Hammond sound your after.

    Also have you ever listened to any Stereolab? They are kind of experimental acid jazz but have some organs in there too i think.

    Wooden Schijps

    Clinic use a bit of organ but most of their music is just weird and inaccessible as opposed to psychedelic.

    The Concretes (a bit)

    The Cotton Jones Basket Ride I think are amazing. They write a lot of really beautiful hillbilly acoustic music and have a few odd nice tracks with some organ in them, for example Blues from a nest and Raspberry Stream

    Dunno Zero 7 maybe..

    You should listen to early Genesis. Yes, they were a cheesy pop band in their later career, but they were a beautiful but aggressive psychedelic, organ-centric band from 1969-1977. I strongly urge you to listen to them. Some song ideas would be:

    1. "White Mountain"- off of Trespass
    2. "Fountain of Salmacis"- also features the Mellotron, a similarly cool instrument
    3. "Can Utility and the Coastliners"- off Foxtrot
    4. "Watcher of the Skies"- combines Hammond organ and Mellotron.
    5. "Stagnation"- off of Trespass.

    Also check out the early Moody Blues.

    "Close to the Edge" is a pretty psychedelic album and features Wakeman's skill set extremely well. It is probably my favorite Yes album actually.
