I saw this broadcast on MTV when I was in college and it turned me on to Motörhead.
The Young Ones was a great show, IMHO.

In a new interview with Metal Hammer magazine, LINKIN PARK's Mike Shinoda spoke about how the band's debut album, "Hybrid Theory", which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, defied easy categorization and helped diversify metal's appeal beyond its core audience with its blend of hip-hop swagger, screaming, irresistible pop hooks and circuit-bending.
"At the time, if you asked somebody what they were listening to, they'd say... 'Rock. I listen to hip-hop. I listen to jazz,'" Shinoda said. "It wasn't until five years later they'd say, 'Everything.' 'Hybrid Theory' did some of that work. It was part of the progression towards breaking down boundaries between styles of music.
"I listened to 90% rap music, then I'd look at a lot of rock bands and I'd be like, 'There's something too white [about it],'" he continued. "That was one of the things that turned me off, especially hair metal. Hair metal felt like very white music, and I was growing up in a very diverse city, so I didn't gravitate to it. That didn't resonate with me. And it wasn't just about race. I don't mean the color of skin. I just mean the culture of it. When nu metal started at the very beginning, it was a very diverse place."
One musician who quickly reacted to Shinoda's comments is Stephen Pearcy, frontman for 1980s California rockers RATT, widely considered one of the most successful acts of the Sunset Strip glam metal scene. Pearcy tweeted out a link to Mike's "Hair metal felt like very white music" quote, and he included the following message: "Lol, Didnt know rock music had a race. wtf, I didn't know what hair metal felt like. Thanks. all music to me"

Sound like prog/progressive rock to me.
Bad Religion’s second album was prog rock

No need to apologize to me. :-)
Doesn’t have the energy of the Kingsmen. But it’s little easier to understand the lyrics.
Thanks for that one. I don’t like it too much though, but then I didn’t listen to them when I was formulating my music likes...
Barry White’s more energetic on this one:
Banana Splits - Doin’ the Banana Split

Lots of artists have these kinds of tracks in their past including the Allman Brothers with Leon Russell
Here’s the earliest song with Lou Reed together with John Cale:
The Ostrich

I'd call it a cross between progressive and glam and (dare I say) new wave (yes, I know it was in 1976). They remind me of my favorite band nobody ever heard, Crack the Sky.
I had that album! Did they ever make another? My favorite one hit wonder band!
Lyrics here(in the text below the video) remind me of descriptions of career politicians.

EXTREMELY great bassist(Joe Macre)...and drummer he worked with.
I had that album.
L
The whole band remains a hot live act from the live albums I have and clips I’ve seen online. I haven’t seen CTS live yet - but it’s on my bucket list.
You're in trouble.
I have a lot of very fun catching up to do!!!
Never had to worry about bad language with the Average White Band...lol.
lol... I forgot all about that band! I’ll admit I didn’t know they were Scottish.
