Acid rock?
I just removed acid rock from the genre box, as I didn't see how it fit. If anyone disagrees and wants to explain how it could, feel free. CheezerRox4502 (talk) 22:58, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

psychedelic blues-rock?
I take issue with the description of Wind Cries Mary as a "good exhibit" of a "psychedelic blues-rock" song. The song is a ballad, and rock fits - but at no point in the song does psychedelia or blues come up. It's an example of maybe Hendrix' use of harmony and his style of blending rhythm and chordal work with lead playing. But psychedelia is a little much of a stretch, and blues is just completely off base. F33bs (talk) 00:11, 18 November 2008 (UTC)  It's always funny when some one who know nothing about music says a song has no Blues influence. This person must have heard very little blues in his life or simply does not know what it is. Like everything Hendrix did, the blues is woven throughout this song and just about every other song Hendrix ever recorded. Blues dicribes a wide variety of African Folk a Urban musical styles mostly common to the American south, the influence of blues surfaces in just about every form of American popular musicOldpanther 11:40, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

phychedelic really does not fit, I agree. The song does have a bit of a blues influence, I hear. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.198.113.60 (talk) 03:48, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

The song does sound pretty psychedelic to mo. I mean, it's not mega-trippy like "Stupidmop" but it does have psychedelic influence, and blues is in their somewhere, definately. I mean, I guess this is just my opinion, but I can clearly see both influences myself. CheezerRox4502 (talk) 22:57, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

I read the "psychedelic blues-rock" description, and - not knowing the song, and being a musician - wondered how the fact that it's in the "key of F and has a F pentatonic scale" guitar solo bring to the psychedelic conclusion... I propose deleting the description, since two users already contrasted the description, or change the premise for the conclusion. --David Be (talk) 19:19, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

They Call the Wind Maria
Is it possible that this song was in some way inspired by "They call the wind Maria" by Alan J. Lerner — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.210.134.83 (talk) 21:59, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Live Venues?
I don't know myself, which is why I was looking here, but a list of venues where the song was played live would be good.Geoffpointer (talk) 03:48, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Production date
Article's infobox currently lists the recording location/date as "De Lane Lea Studios, London, January 11, 1967". However, the liner notes on The Ultimate Experience compilation, it states "Produced by Chas Chandler at De Lane Lea Studios Ltd, London, 10/23/66." Unless someone objects, I'm going to follow the liner notes since the current date has no reference. DK  qwerty     18:54, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
