None.

If so I must have missed it.    Yes there was, but I posted my first Psychedelic Rock poll in the wrong forum by mistake when I was still a newbie here, so that's probably why you missed it. I posted it in the "General Music Discussions" forum.

Actually that one was placed well, and also is where I posted my psychedelic "Twenty-five 1967 and 1968 tracks" topic (since so many of my choices were not included as Prog acts at this site). Technically, this and other Prog forums are intended specifically for bands/ artists included in prog categories at PA (though if the majority are to be found in prog categories, I think that's fine). As for ones included here in Prog Related, we can't actually makes polls in the "Proto-Prog and Prog-Related Lounge", unless it has changed when I wasn't looking.

Here's a link to your first psych poll for those who want to see it but don't want to search for it: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=121068

Was there a part one of your poll? If so I must have missed it.

I think after a year or so(or maybe less than that)they close down voting in polls.   I noticed in your poll that Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention won the poll by a wide margin, which surprised me. I also noticed Vanilla Fudge received seven votes in your poll, although no one's voted for them so far in either of my two Psychedelic Rock polls. I haven't decided who I'll be voting for yet in your poll because there are some good choices there.

Yeah, topics lock automatically after a certain period of inactivity. I've unlocked it in case anyone wants to continue discussion in that topic (though perhaps there ain't a lot of point in having many similar topics going at the same time as it can dilute discussion - I often find it interesting to compare similar polls and topics).

I don't know many bands here, but Floyd are my overall favourite band, so I expect they are my favourite here too. The thing about including such big bands in a genre poll, is that if you are curious about the genre and want to see the poll to get an idea of where to look for more of it, it won't help since all the votes will be with (in this case Pink Floyd). Still, I guess if I want to know some more psychedelic, my next step should be Hawkwind (whom I actually don't see in this poll... that is weird), just as if I want to know more of Folk prog, I should go with Strawbs.

Listed as Prog-Folk herein.  But there was surely a psych element, or two.
