Prog in general is difficult for me because the self-conscious virtuosity kinda makes me want to hurl, and I hate all that 'look at us stopping and starting on a dime with our weird time signatures, aren't we awesome?' schtick, but LIBERTARIAN hard-rock progginess? Yeesh.

It's rock pomp that really raises my hackles.

P. P. Arnold. First to have a hit with First Cut, never bettered IMHO.
I love Norma Fraser's version -- 1967 Coxsone production.
Hmmm ... when I'm posting late 60s rocksteady I've definitely veered off the "music I hate" topic ...
