    I consider "Green eyed lady" to be proto prog. "Spirit in the sky" might qualify as heavy psych though.

    The term "psychedelic rock" was very much in existence at the time this track was made, whilst "proto-prog" is hardly in existence even today. It doesn't somehow "stop" being a psychedelic rock track just because some other bizarre term comes along the way within the strands of utter cryptic obscurity some 30 odd years later, and either way one genre adherence doesn't rule out another. It's a Beautiful Day's "White Bird" is decidedly psychedelic, yet it's also a prime example of very vintage US progressive rock music. As are the likes of Vanilla Fudge, Seatrain (1st. album), Spirit, Touch, Bump, Morley Grey and the Hampton Grease Band.

    Let's go with a clearly psychedelic song, period. None of this progears hairsplitting... :-)

    I'm not lazy. I just work so fast I'm always done.

    ^^^^^ Incense of Peppermint...I havent heard that tune for may years!I love that Farfisa sound! to me thats psych - But I was very young for that period to really get the exact idea of psych - To me, All music was played by "Hippies" so it all was psych to me. I grew up in lower class suburbia, where some of my friends older siblings were getting into the hippie movement, and it was frightening as well as fascinating. So when green eyed lady came out it was just psych too. I too have issues with having lived through the periods of varying types of modern music. It didnt seem to matter to anyone at the time, Today you had better get your genre history correct. Back then it was just great music that I loved, playing on the am radio - can you imagine am radio that people listened to? (in spite of having to sneak-listen to it because my parents were totally square.) Yes, I was raised afraid of Hippies - I was told they smell bad and were not loved by Jesus. Thats where my parents brought me into the world and where I learned how things were right and wrong. Some of it still sticks... It was a wondrous time in my life.

    Tough to decide. Today, I'll say Voodoo Child Slight Return. I don't know if Good Vibrations counts, though.

    21st Century Schizoid Man by King Crimson. Now where did I hide that tab of acid?

    Now, check out this live clip of KC from 1969 and turn on, tune in and drop your knickers!: https://youtu.be/m-aeQW4aoRk

    I guess I'd go classic.



    But I gotta say, this one still stirs the blood.

    So making a list of 10 is boring but posting one at a time is not? Either you are AD/HD or a cat. *Waves a piece of yarn*

    I take it that more than one word replies are also boring to you. It must have been quite an effort to type each period of your ellipses.

    No effort at all. Maybe you are trying to be funny? One word replies are not, but can be boring are all.
