I guess since Metal is popular now, all those different sub-genres of Rock gets co-opted into the umbrella term which is "Metal." I don't consider Psychedelia, Acid Rock, German Rock etc. as Metal, proto-Metal or even "pre-Sabbath metal." Even when watching Sam Dunn's doc either Metal: A Headbanger's Journey or Metal Evolution I noticed he was refrained from calling some bands "Heavy Metal" where others might call them "Heavy Metal" and used the term "Heavy Music" which isn't a term I see anyone really use much. I wonder if he did to avoid the pit falls of labeling.
"Amon Düül II - Archangel Thunderbird" It's from the album Yeti, ADII did a record prior to that. However I don't know if this song was released before or after Sabbath's first album, however it was released the same year so it's more "concurrent-Sabbath metal" than "pre-Sabbath metal." I think it's better to think Amon Düül II as German Rock band, and Bubble Puppy as a Texan Psychedelic Rock band than "pre-Sabbath metal" bands.
All of that being said, I like both songs, and played them not too long ago.
One of the first and best examples:
Link Wray - Rumble
