Martha it is - you guys are just too good!
Total abstinence is so excellent a thing that it cannot be carried to too great an extent. In my passion for it I even carry it so far as to totally abstain from total abstinence itself. - Mark Twain

BOS2 to "Hush," which was to my ears the first "Hard Rock" hit, unless Blue Cheer's "Summertime Blues" beat it.


Blue Cheer was indeedd a month or 2 ahead of DP.  But I'm sure there's something hard before that, I'll have to ponder the question. I take it psychedelia is in a diff category?


Lester Bangs coined the term Heavy Metal, and he first used it for Blue Cheer.

John Kay stole it from some literary reference iirc, and it went from there.

Is this Emmylou Harris?  Dusty Springfield?  Never heard it before.  

ETA: Thought it sounded like a Grateful Dead song, and they did do a version of it.  The original?

Like Alicat, I got the earbuds in today, and it's pretty obvious listening this way.
