I love early Scorpions as much as their popular stuff.

I don't think Porcupine Tree played that one, but some other very early psych stuff when I saw them in Dec 95 in London as the support band for Ozric Tentacles. I already had their albums on vinyl & that song I first heard on a psych compilation. Back then Porc tree were still part of the crusty, festy, psychy, pronky, trancy circuit.

When I was in college, I was pretty into a local band in Syracuse called "Masters of Reality." They were like a slightly metallic, doomy Hawkwind, with a cool snyth player called Mr. Owl. Well, they managed to get a contract with Def American, and when their first album came out in 1989 they sounded totally different - the somewhat proggy, Hawkwindish sound was gone (as was most of Mr. Owl's keyboard sounds) and it just sounded like a crappy stoner band.

Anyone ever heard of this band?

Imho, despite their obvious cash-making machine status, the Lindsay-Stevie FM was the weakest link in the chain (of course, intended).

The Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer version is #1 for me

The Danny Kirwan/Bob Welch/Christine version is #2

Hard to believe this is how Kenny Rogers started out:

Actually, it's not. He played in rockabilly and jazz groups early in his career, before joining the New Christy Minstrel Singers (which also number amongst their alumni Kim Carnes and Gene Clark). I believe that Just Dropped Into To See What Condition My Condition Was In was more or less a one off for the group, with most of their music being closer to the middle of the road country/pop music that Kenny Rogers' name is usually associated with.
