To take a familiar example (they would not actually play this, it's far too mainstream), they would classify something like The Small Faces' "Itchycoo Park" as "psych-pop". No one ever called it that back in the day, it was just a poop song with a few clever special effects. I have even more of a problem with their "psych-folk", which to me often sounds simply like folk. They certainly distinguish between psych and prog; occasionally they will play something by say Aphrodite's Child, or king Crimson, and they definitely categorise those as prog.

    I sometimes wonder if their definition of "psych" is "anything recorded between 1965 and 1975".
    As far as I'm concerned, psych folk is reserved only for bands like Comus and Jan Dukes de Grey.

    BTW I edited my post about the Small Faces. I meant to say Itchycoo Park was a pop song.
