Happy Together done by ELP.

I can hear a Fanfaresque version with lots of drum fills and a mean Hammond sound balanced by Gregies smooth vocals.
 
My choice too, although I didn't know this was the one thing my life was missing until I saw JD's suggestion.  Now I'm sad because I can't listen to it.

The absence of any cover versions is a big defect in Pink Floyd's otherwise perfect catalogue.  The three of them should get together and give us "Last Train to Clarksville". Peter Tork can stand in on the keyboards.

"Spinning Wheel" is already prog enough for me.
I vote "Gimme Some Lovin'". The organ is a good stepping stone for a prog song: that is already a bit proggy. Some tempo changes and modulations and voila... prog on demand LOL

You should check out the remake of LTTC by Cassandra Wilson. Interesting take.
 
I'll choose Dizzy by The Nice. With Davy O'List.

I wouldn't consider Spinning Wheel as Psychedelic song by any means. Pop jazz yes. Went with Strawberry alarm clock then Spencer Davis.

What could be done with Willie Nelson's Red-Headed Stranger? The possibilities seem endless.

Same here.  My older sis had that 45 and it was definitely one of the earliest pop songs I remember listening to.
