Favourite 60's metal song?
A lot of people don't believe in metal in the 60s, which is fine, but there was undeniably a heavy theme arising in many rock songs towards the end of the decade. I've listed as many as I can think of above but feel free guys to point out stuff I missed, I always like discovering new music. Especially experimental stuff like this. :)
Btw this is for songs released in the 60s, not written in the 60s, so no Black Sabbath here (unless there's some early EP or demo recoring I don't know about of course). Spoiler for videos:

Anyone that doesn't say Hendrix kills a puppy

...And that's how metal started:
The definite father of metal, and, for me, the king of metal. |

Jimi Hendrix is covering the Troggs song from the mid 60's so we could say that the original was the first song (as it's certainly heavy for it's time) or what about The Kinks You Really Got Me that many think was the first prototype riff for Metal? or what about the last half of I Want You (She's So Heavy) by The Beatles? I won't bother choosing any track in particular because Heavy Metal whilst undeniably being inspired by the 60's didn't become a recognised genre until the 70's. It's like asking what was your favourite Punk track from the 60's. I won't even get started on what the Blues did for Metal! |

Voted for Steppenwolf as I genuinely enjoy that song more than Voodoo Child.
Love Hendrix too, but not letting romanticism sway my vote... |
I voted for Summertime Blues by Blue Cheer--their Vincebus Eruptum album is a blueprint for heavy metal!

Helter Skelter. Just wish Lennon screamed more on the track because it was so satisfying to the ear, very much like Black Francis screaming in the Pixies.
