"adore noise, and foreign to psychedelic." That sounds to me like, "adore cockroaches, hate kitty cats." Or, "adore poison (literally?), hate chocolate"
Anyway, "Hair"... OK. Big deal by 1969. Not really "psychedelic" music at all, but certainly counter-cultural. "This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius" is probably the most famous song from Hair, and Fifth Dimension did the most famous pop hit version.
But I liked this version of the title track "Hair" by the sunshine pop group The Cowsills, who also did "The Rain, the Park and Other Things," sort of like "Itchycoo Park," but less psychedelic and explicit. This isn't psychedelic, and it's pure pop, almost bubble-gum; but it's fun. From 1969, I didn't post it because it is too far down my 400 list, but who's counting? I jump around when I feel like it. I didn't post "Layla" here either, from 1970, but Mikebert did, and it's well-enough known anyway. Anyway, here's "Hair"
