I never had a chance to see ELP. But I did have 2 bootlegs, and they were not very good at all, in fact in one they were a bit out of tune, it sounded like for a large bit of the show. I think one of them was from the Forum shows, but I don't remember.
I really liked ELP in the earlier days, and after Karn Evil is when I fell out of them.

Maybe that holds good for Vedder (I wouldn't know as I find PJ boring) but Chris Cornell and Layne Staley had range and power to put many prog vocalists to shame. Pearl Jam is hardly all there's to grunge, just the most popular face of it along with Nirvana. Which doesn't mean anything because Soundgarden and Alice in Chains were also extremely successful bands.

Grunge? OK I'm going down into the prog mosh pit. Can you imagine being in the mosh pit with ELP playing the Gnome from Pictures. I guess you could mosh pit to Tiger In a Spotlight.

somehow I suspect if I'd been in high school when grunge was happening I'd have liked it

Can't stand the Grunge movement. Yodeling cannot be regarded as singing. Eddie Vedder is a master at that. And then freakin Creed came along and Scott Stap copied Vedder! Lol what a joke. |

Madison, WI in the late 60's and early 70's, and then Santa Barbara, CA in the 70's and early 80's.
I have the badges from the 60's ... frisked by the National Guard in Madison when the Kent State shootings happened, and then later got my head beatup by Daly's cops in Chicago, because Sly and the Family Stone didn't show u for their show -- when the audience got restless!
You have no idea ... how so much of that music is important to so many folks!

Hi,
It's just sad to see all this trashing going around ... music was no more, or less, popular NOW, than it was THEN, or vice versa!
It was about the same!
And if you think that some of these bands, did not sell, or were not, it was because you had your head in the sand, and were living in Podunk, Moon House, or Peeweeneedles in Mars Land.
The lack of appreciation or respect for a time and place ... people were not stupid!
Half the folks in PA wouldn't have bothered! Edited by moshkito - August 17 2013 at 17:39 |

I'm with you...Nirvana never clicked for me, though I always liked Pearl Jam's "Ten" and the first three Hole albums - though I'm not sure whether they're considered grunge, alternative, or riot grrrrrl

Well, that's all right then! I am secretly a grunge fan, and a big admirer of Kim Thayill of Soundgarden! We play the same model six-string electric guitar (Guild S-100). Some grunge was better than others - I never much liked Nirvana, but Pearl Jam had some good stuff. I wish the energy of Seattle grunge had collided with prog!

Tarkus was the number one selling album in the UK 1971 so why is the question even being asked? Of course it was popular, whether any particular genre of music deserves to hold centre stage of the zeitgeist is another matter.....

I think of all prog bands as 'cult bands' its just that some managed their affairs better than others and were able to take their chance when it presented itself. If Pink Floyd hadn't made Dark Side Of The Moon then someone else would have I reckon. It now seems almost an obvious idea but it was Waters and co that thought of it first. Other bands like VDGG and Gentle Giant were content to stay true to themselves. Camel are an interesting case as they sold a fair number of albums playing in my eyes a mellow brand of prog.Nice but hardly challenging. They found a middle way between commercialism and artistic integrity.

Oh, that "Stayin' Alive" and really ruined the Bee Gees reputation. Though I'm sure they apreciate the loads of $$$ and fame that song gave them, I have read they or some of them weren't particularly happy about ending up labeled as disco and recognized for that song, because that's not what they were all about, it was just one short phase of their career. I guess it's something similar to Yes with "Owner of a Lonely Heart" and Pink Floyd with "Another Brick in the Wall 2". |

Now now, I bet Kansas would sacrifice all of their fingers in exchange for BeeGees' talent to create good melodies. I'm not a disco lover in particular but I recognize a good song when I hear one and Massachusets and To Love Somebody are good examples of the genre. |

Was prog actually popular in the 70s??

which is probably why there are no 70s Prog bands from Southern Texas.... and so very few from the USA.
