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.
I got nothin' :
...avoiding any implication that I have ever entertained a cognizant thought.

We're trying to build a monument to show that we were here
It won't be visible through the air
And there won't be any shade to cool the monument to prove that we were here. - Gene Parsons, 1973
Tough to decide. Today, I'll say Voodoo Child Slight Return. I don't know if Good Vibrations counts, though.
