I grew up in the 1960's and early 70's. Marijuana smoking was already the cool thing to do by 1965. Dylan had already given it to The Beatles, and well we all know what transpired next. I was thinking about some of the first psychedelic music I heard and remember two very distinct songs:
Sunny Goodge Street by Donovan (1965)...and
That Acapulco Gold by The Rainy Daze (1967)
There were many more similar songs in that era, but I forgot most...maybe they are right about that memory thing?
I'm just wondering if any of the old proggers on this site can recall more of those old songs in the days before prog was born? I listened To Donovan's SGS again recently and it has stood the test of time well, and is a classic of early psychedelia with brilliant lyrics.
