Subject: Why is the Byrds' Eight Miles High considered the "first" psychedelic rock song?

...when The Kinks' "See My Friends" - clearly a psychedelic rock track - predates it by a year?

Personally, I'd argue that the Animals' recording of "The House of the Rising Sun" could qualify as the first psychedelic rock song. It's a long, woozy, ethereal expedition of electric organ riffs, a loose structure bent on instrumental solos, and howlingly visceral vocals to match the brooding mood. For 1964, that song was like a UFO crash landing on a world that had no idea what hit it.

You could possibly make a case for this being the first psychedelic rock song.

It's amazing to think that this was released in 1960! :o
