Tuesday Top Ten: '60s Psychedelic Album Covers

Thanks to the emergence of the counterculture, grass, lysergic acide diethylamide, pop art, and groovy music, psychedelia was in full effect by the mid '60s.  The result was not only some fantastic music, but also some very cool album covers featuring all the colors of the rainbow, swirls, twirls, and straight-up weird imagery.  

Here are what I consider the ten coolest psychedelic album covers from the '60s, in alphabetical order by artist, with a bonus of my favorite song off of each album (some of which I've already posted about, so just deal with it):
