What are some of the most random album appearances you've discovered? I was surprised to find Bruford randomly appeared on a partially narrated album based on "Peter and the Wolf" with a number of other proggers, but only contributed a few snare hits to one track. Also Robert Fripp randomly produced two albums by Irish vocal trio "The Roches" (I have one and it's pretty good - he adds a few nice guitar parts to several tracks).

MacGyver can do a super guitar solo with a broom and an elastic band. Can you do better?

Steve Howe on the title-track of Frankie Goes to Hollywood's album Welcome to the Pleasuredome. The 13-minute-plus version is pure prog!

Fripp produced and performed on Sacred Songs, the first Daryl Hall solo LP. May have co-written some of it too. Pretty good album, btw.

for a couple of concerts Peter Hammill teamed up with the Kronos Quartet, they would play their composition "The Music of Erich Zann" (the composer was actually John Geist) based on the story of the same name by famous horror writer H. P. Lovecraft. Peter Hammill narrated the story (the words remained unchanged) and the Kronos Quartet played along. they performed this three times. this recording is from July 22nd 1994 at the Barbican Centre in London: the event starts at 01:47:32

Do you really mean "weirdest album" or rather "uncharacteristic of?"

When I had a vinyl collection I had a number of albums by Contempory Christian Artists, one such was Only Visiting This Planet by Larry Norman. I was reading the liner notes whilst listening and I noticed that the bass guitarist on it was John Wetton.

Only Visiting This Planet by Larry Norman is great album. Kind of cross between Neil Young and Dylan. Excellent song writing. |

The whole first LP on both sides is all prog ... specially when played non-stop. It's totally a beaut! Needs to be put on the stage with lots of dances and insanity, though!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
