I agree. Have a lounge for Psychedelics, then you need a dedicated lounge for classical music. Then folk music. Then you end up with a Hank Williams Jr. Lounge because somebody did a Kevin Baconesque six degrees of separation between Hank and Robert Fripp.

PA should have that Psych Rock lounge imo, because prog is a child of that classic Psychedelia.
Also, PA should have a separate section for the "classic psychedelia / space rock".
And that current section should be renamed as "progressive psychedelia /space rock".

For the first question you can just create an "Official Psych Appreciation" thread if you wish and try to get it off the ground.  Would be pretty much the same thing as an official lounge but you are able to do it without involving management. 

As to getting a sub added I don't think it will happen.

The question is would it draw enough interest and longterm discussion.   There is no doubt the close familial bonds between psych and prog, the two often indistinguishable up until about 1970 or so.   Not sure if that merits a Classic Psychedelia Lounge or not.   I'm not sure, maybe.   It could draw some attention for awhile but I'm guessing for most prog lovers, Psych is a funny and dusty throwback that may've spawned the Prog they love but doesn't drive a lot of discussion in these woods.   Certainly not for those under forty.

As for a Classic Psych subgenre, seems to me standard psych-rock was a form of pop music (Airplane, Cream, Janis, Doors, Hendrix, all big chart-toppers), and as an attitude had leaked into almost everything (Donovan, Beach Boys, etc.), making it a better candidate for a rock 'n roll website than a prog one.

Due to it's closeness to progressive rock, should PA have a Psychedelic Rock Lounge where bands like the 13 Floor Elevators, Country Joe and even modern Psych bands like The Tubes and  The Flaming Lips could have a forum?
 
Could/should psych rock have it's own genre listing in PA for these types of band's albums?
