Experience's third album was definitely progressive, at least in a more literal meaning of the word. The site should acknowledge this contribution somehow, maybe an essay on the documents page should do justice.

No. But this is just a personal opinion ... the objective criteria to tell non-prog psychedelic apart from prog psychedelic still elude me.

No. Have respect for other genres. Psychedelic bands like The Grateful Dead and Hendrix are not, and never were prog. I already take issue with the Doors and the Who being here. The late 60s was a messed up time and everybody influenced everybody else. Not everybody needs to be here.
My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!

No, they would not fit under the proto-prog definitions or the prog-related.

Hendrix is not prog nor will he ever be.

He is a blues rock musician. Not a prog musician.

He influenced too many people to show him directly influencing prog.

This was discussed a while back (it was more than 6 months ago - I think)

I definitely think they belong here in either proto-prog or psychedelic rock.
I want to hear your opinions on this matter
