60's and early 70's Rockers: Name These Tunes!!!?

I'm stumped on naming two songs by two different groups. Both are from the late 60s and early 70s. No offense to the alternative rockers, but you can sit this one out.

First song Lyrics are: "....and her name is Aproditie, she rides a crimson shell.....". For some reason, I keep thinking Ginger Baker...so Cream may have done it perhaps? But what is the song title?????

Second song I know is by Crosby, Stills and Nash...but the song title escapes me. But the song's lyrics are much like "....and the question of a thousand dreams....what it is and what will be....can you at all talk....to meeeeee....".(followed by a mellow bass rift).
