^ Adore Area.
I like the songs that you've listed. Beggars Opera's "Silver Peacock" comes to my mind. An album that springs to my mind is Khan's Space Shanty. I'll nominate "Hollow Stone" as a representative from it. And while from the 60s (close enough to 70s) Colosseum. Will go with "Butty's Blues" I'm no vocalist, but when I think of great vocal vocal melodies, I often think of Prog Folk. So I'll mention Linda Perhacs' "Parallelograms" , and while maybe not a Prog Folk artist, Nick Drakes' "Riverman" (which may be my favourite song of all time, but I suspect that the vocals would not be strong enough for you). For Folk, More akin musically to the bluesiness of what you've listed, I do think that Jan Dukes de Grey's Sun Symphonica is awesome, but vocally may leave something to be desired, and you may think really off-base. :) Edited by Logan - November 21 2018 at 05:58 |

I'm sure everyone knows them, but King Crimson has some great vocal melodies. One of the things that makes them great is amidst all the experimentation, there's actually a really nice song going on most of the time. Just listen to songs like Epitaph, The Court Of The Crimson King, Exiles, Lady Of The Dancing Water, Starless... The list could go on but those come to the top of my head first.

Great song. I was actually going t suggest the whole "Queen II" album, since the vocals are magnificent in every song.

I forgot mentioning Uriah Heep. From "Look at Yourself" on, they had great vocals, specially during the David Byron era. Some songs that come to mind are Tears in My Eyes, Seven Stars, Sweet Lorraine, The Magician Birthday and many others.

The vocal melodies that readily spring to mind come from:
Transatlantic - Duel with the Devil Dream Theater - Surrounded (or anything from Images and Words for that matter) a second for Kansas - The Wall (or most anything from Leftoverture) Fates Warning - We Only Say Goodbye (or most anything from Parallels) Asia - Bury Me in Willow Jethro Tull - Rainbow Blues, Black Sunday Rush - Manhattan Project And while I'm not a Beatle fan, I have to throw in the very cool vocal melody from Got to Get You Into My Life

These make my knees wobble every time I listen to them... Once Upon the Sea of Blissful Awareness / Tales of the Inexpressible / Shpongle Le Gardien / Novo Sub Sole / NIL Both are female singers. The latter is in French.

VdGG - Everything peter hammil made.
Magma - Wurdah Itah.. live the women choir parts mostly but the others arenīt too bad either. Oh and its incredible fun trying Arbeit Macht Frei from Area. Or other area yoddlings. Their melodies are brilliant. Italian Prog in general is a very good place to search for great vocal melodies.. Palepoli... |

I always think of this beauty by Kerrs Pink, even if the vocals are no very strong. One of my favorite melodies
