I really like that band,i've got 2 or 3 of their cds.RUSH covered one of their tunes on the "Feedback" album. I would have to listen to them again to see how proggy they are though.

I "LOVE" all their albums and i think that FOREVER CHANGES is really a great MASTERPIECE of "psychedelic-acid-pop-folk"......

Although their album, Da Capo isn't their best IMO, it does include the side-long proto-prog Revelations.

If they are included it would have to be proto-prog as they were one the main influences on Jim Morrison/The Doors who are included under proto-prog.

BTW.Forever Changes is my favourite album.

I wouldn't call it proto prog or prog related myself, but Forever Changes is a great album.

I guess they could fit in proto-prog between LA bands like The Doors, Iron Bitterfly, Spirit etc....
 
 
not really  prog, but not any less thanThe Doors were, either.

Given that Jefferson Airplane has a spot here, why wouldn't Love, Spirit, and the Zombies (Odyssey and Oracle) be included? 

And as an aside, I don't think this diminishes the site.  These are all bands that laid the foundation for what we know as prog.

John Tobler*, the great and informed rock writer, and perhap the major promoter of Love in the UK in the last 40 years, always said, if you check out the lyrics on Forever Changes, there is a large element  of 'been there, done it, now got the psychosis because of  it', wrt psychedelia and the drug culture, that marks the album as the first post-psychedelic album.
 
*For instance he managed to get the forgotten tail end to 7& 7, tagged on for the first compilation album

Just found an opportunity to listen to Forever Changes and I agree with the with the proto-prog suggestion. Besides, FC are usually included in the same basket with Sgt. Pepper, Piper, Days of Future Passed etc., as masterpieces of the heyday of psychedelia...

(btw, I really can't see how this band might have influenced Morrison & The Doors, given that they debuted more or less around the same time... I don't know Love's exact formation date -must be '65-, but Doors were also beginning to show up in '65, and in '66 they were already doing notorious gigs...)

I hope my first impression won't change after I hear other albums Tongue (surely not if they bear that Doors similarity, Doors is among my all time fave bands)
Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret:
Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!)
