    I would have to say Holocene by Bon Iver, Pagan Poetry by Bjork (also Joga), Tomorrow Never Knows by The Beatles and The Funeral by Band of Horses.
    A friend of mine swears by waiting for the peak to kick in and then putting on Flight of the Valkyries at full volume and sitting in an armchair gripping the arms haha. Never tried this but I can imagine it's pretty intense (he's only done this on mushrooms I think).
    I also like to listen to classical Indian music such as that by Ravi Shankar or George Harrisons Western interpretation of that genre and music designed for meditation, anything with a Shamanistic/Indigenous feel and generally songs written for the psychonaught, most of which surfaced in the 60's (try Flying and try it's All Too Much by The Beatles). These are both pretty psychedelic in essence and fill you with a sense of well being, especially Flying, it's rather fun and playful

    This tune blew my goddamned head off while I was tripping and trying to catch all the piano chords. McCoy Tyner is certainly a genius.

    Hate to sound cliche but... Dark Side of the Moon! It such a fantastic journey, its has so much depth, and it takes you through some interesting parts of your mind.

    Anything Pink Floyd and anything Shpongle are the too most amazing journeys in music I've taken.

    There's a reason it's cliche. And for me, it was my first introduction to music and tripping.

    Nobody Loves You (When You're Down and Out) - John Lennon

    This song brought me to tears the first time I took acid. I heard the words and it and it was as if I knew exactly what John meant, like i could completely relate to everything he said in the song. It was also the first song I heard while under the influence, and ever since I've had such a powerful emotional connection with it. It gives me goosebumps when it comes on shuffle.

    I think that any song (that I enjoyed prior to taking LSD for the first time) could have made this happen.
    A little spin on the OP's idea; when I heard mainstream music like Trey songz and Flo Rida i wanted to rip my ears off my head.

    "Live/Dead" is a mindblowing album in general. My absolute favorite version of St Stephen/The 11--listened to this album on 2c-e once it was intense.

    Supposedly the operas of Wagner (specifically Goetterdaemmerung) were what led Allen Ginsberg to the height of spiritual ecstasy on his first-ever mushroom trip. Certainly one of the more momentous trips in the history of psychedelic culture, haha...

    I ALWAYS spend at least part of each trip listening to Indian classical.

    I also get fairly mindblown by minimalist classical. Check this shit:

    I dare you to smoke DMT to this, lol. Karl Richter is almost as much God as Bach himself.

    @ 05:53... oh my motherfucking GOD! How this song (and Manuel Gottsching's music in general) has remained underground after 40 years is beyond me.

    Kitaro wasn't always lame New Age, he used to be mind blowing, "This music is not from my mind. It is from heaven, going through my body and out my fingers through composing. Sometimes I wonder. I never practice. I don't read or write music, but my fingers move. I wonder, 'Whose song is this?' I write my songs, but they are not my songs."

    And Harald Grosskopf's 1979 masterpiece, Synthesist, from Sky Records (the album is in between Berlin School style snyth-pop and intensely psychedelic 'ambient' drone music).

    I do practically every time. It's a beautiful piece. I'm always afraid to play it on the comeup though because it's so intense.

    As someone whos tripped only one time I dont know how valid this might be but for me I had a long playlist going but what really struck me and took me to unimaginable places was the blues man. "The things that I used to do" by SRV blew my mind with his guitar solos. "Have you ever loved a woman" by Clapton was pretty indescribable as well.

    My Morning Jacket - It Still Moves

    I listened to "I Will Sing You Songs" from this album as I was peaking my last trip on L and had an amazing experience. After that I watched the Emmy Award winning Futurama episode "Roswell That Ends Well" and that took up most of my peak. That episode blew my mind entirely and made me laugh till I cried, but that's a story for a different thread.

    As I was coming down I listened to the rest of It Still Moves and realized how psychedelic the album was. From the album artwork to the surreal reverb (created by the dynamics of a corn silo that the album was recorded in) this album is trippy. It's been lurking in my collection of music longer than I've been tripping and after that experience it's become my favorite album. It really changed my perception of what makes music psychedelic considering that it's a southern indie rock album. The mood shift from enthusiastic energy in the beginning to solemn peaceful withdrawal at the end is very psychedelic, kind of like "The Wall" except Pink Floyd uses these emotional shifts more often. All this plus long, well fitting instrumentals are what really blew me alway about this album and why I think it's very psychedelic even when not tripping.

    That was a great album - I've had visions right out of it.

    Most psychedelic to me were several Incredible String Band albums, all about death and rebirth, transformation, becoming, hope, all those tripping essentials. Like Liquid Acrobat as Regards the Air. No fancy music, all mind, the perfect thing for LSD.
