Hi Folks, it's December! Family time! So here's an eclectic selection of funny, great, interesting or unpopular prog (or not) songs to honour your Mom and Dad. If you don't know all of them (I'm not talking about your father or mother, but about these tracks put up here), don't hesitate to listen to this special Mom & Dad playlist. And if you think there's to much Zappa, well then... that sucks! Tongue

Anyway, enjoy and vote for your three preferred tracks from these:




In order of appearance:

Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention - Mom & Dad (RIO/Avant-Prog)
The Nice - Daddy Where Did I Come From? (Symphonic Prog)
Quiet Sun - Mummy Was an Asteroid, Daddy Was a Small Non-Stick Kitchen Utensil (Canterbury Scene)
Adrian Belew - Oh Daddy (Eclectic Prog)
Shadow Circus - Daddy's Gone (Symphonic Prog)
Genesis - Mama (Pop, or something like that)
Gryphon - Get Out of My Father's Car! (Prog Folk)
The Psychedelic Ensemble - Book I: Foreward (Mother's Rhymes) (Neo-Prog)
Teleharmonium - The Mother Generator (Crossover Prog)
Pink Floyd - Mother (Psychedelic/Space Rock)
Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Father of Day, Father of Night (Eclectic Prog)
Demetrio Stratos - Daddy's Dream (Rock Progressivo Italiano)
Frank Zappa - Daddy, Daddy, Daddy (RIO/Avant-Prog)
Frank Zappa - Yo' Mama (RIO/Avant-Prog)

Nice, I'll vote for...

Pink Floyd - "Mother"
Zappa and the Mothers - "Mom & Dad"
Quiet Sun - "Mummy Was an Asteroid, Daddy a Kitchen Utensil"

Just to mention some others that immediately came to mind with Mother in the title:
Can - "Mother Sky" (Soundtracks, 1970, Krautrock)
Swans - "Mother's Milk" and "Mother / Father" (The Great Annihilator, Exp. Rock, 1995)

There can never be too much Zappa. I'll vote for Floyd, Quiet Sun, and Belew. 

However, you forgot Mike Keneally's "Father's Day". Wink

Psychedelic Ensemble and Quiet Sun of those I didn't know; Manfred Mann's Earth Band of the known ones. (Hadn't listened to Mama for decades but it's actually an OK song; these Zappa things don't do much for me. Not a too big fan of the Belew, Pink Floyd, Nice ones either.)

Oh, The Nice, and though DWDICF is far from my favorite Nice tune and is completely unhinged it must be credited for Keith's engaging pre-Prog organ work.

^ always thought that track was mostly the work of 'shagger' (Lee Jackson's nickname that came from being prolific in that department!) so it was really Jackson's organ that was the inspiration (oh dear I'll get my coat)

Hi,

I was thinking that this should be excluded, for cheating. It's a Bob Dylan song!!!

MM did a Bob Dylan song in every album until he did Bruce Springsteen in his next album. Later he went back to doing Bob though he also did Mike Heron and others.
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Cheating?! That's a poor choice of words and an exaggeration. 
MMEB had a gift to do covers and make them sound their style, a lot of them more enjoyable for many than the original songs.

Yeah... of course it's not cheating at all as nobody ever claimed that the song was written by the Earth Band themselves.
