Maybe its own sub-forum?
Lets see how it goes Keith but something to think about in the future
Very religiously so ;)
Psychedelia emerged in the mid 60's & as with Progressive, advance at a quick rate. By late 60's/Early 70's psychedelia naturally made way to the Progressive movement which in itself didnt last too long before it self decructed (you only have to listern to most the crap within 1973), this is quite evident. a clue being most the early bands within the Progressive movement were well gone before then.How on earth can that same progressive movement still exist?? Sorry but it's totally something else.
It wasnt solely the music as a form back then, musicians mindset had a lot to do with it, society at the time & the happening things.. everything was closely related. Sorry man it's all finished.
