All of your points are good and, yes, I did drift back to The Beatles a bit after the psychedelia was over. 
I think for me, there were so many musical influences going on in my home (Mom loved country, bluegrass, and rock; Dad loved jazz, swing, blues, and big band, and the radio or stereo was always playing something) that when I formed my own musical tastes, rock kind of ended up near the bottom of the list, especially after I dialed into that radio station in far-away Chicago and discovered soul.
I’m always interested in hearing how an artist will interpret a different style. Sometimes it works, other times..meh..
“Electric Mud” is still on high rotation around our house. And I still think Wilson Pickett does the best version of “Hey Jude”.
