The First Progressive Rock SONG

[mogrooves]

Procol Harum's 'In Held Twas In I', The Moody Blues' 'Have You Heard/The Voyage', Touch's 'Seventy Five'...

I don't think any of these are quite "there" yet and consider them "proto-". I'd add HP Lovecraft's "The White Ship" to this list.

I'd add HP Lovecraft's "The White Ship" to this list.

Mo, I'm asking because I've always respected you and your input here - but what sets "The White Ship" apart from the other H.P. material? I mean, I love the song and both their albums (2nd espec, which I absolutely love!), but I can't really tell how this song sits out. I'm asking because you've mentioned it so many times in this respect.
