Wire - Chairs Missing (1978)
This is veering away from the psychedelic theme but this album does have somewhat of a psychedelic influence. Wire is a post-punk band from London and this is their second album, following the punk rock classic Pink Flag. With this album they took a more experimental approach without veering too far away from their punk sound. The sound of this album draws comparisons to early Pink Floyd, which I think is evident at certain times but not overwhelmingly so. Overall, I think this is an excellent album with a great balance between punk, pop, and more experimental material.
Stand-Out Tracks:
"Practice Makes Perfect"
"French Film Blurred"
"Marooned"
"Outdoor Miner"
"I Am The Fly"
"From The Nursery"
Too many to choose, really.

also, Wire was on the same record label as Pink Floyd (and Kate Bush) in England; Harvest. This, amongst other things led to their dismissal from the British punk community
