12) “Horizontal Hold” - This Heat
13) “Facelift” - Soft Machine
14) “Dancing Madly Backwards (On A Sea
of Air) - Captain Beyond
15) “Industrial Introduction/Slug
Bait/Maggot Death” - Throbbing Gristle
16) “Negativland” - Neu!
17) “Larks’ Tongues In Aspic, Part I” -
King Crimson
18) “Hitler Was A Vegetarian” - The

Admittedly, I purposely sought out the more obscure selections of my collection. It just gets a little uninteresting seeing 50 lists with Echoes, Supper's Ready, Close To The Edge, Tarkus etc etc.....don't get me wrong, I adore those tunes and they could just as easily have been featured in my list. Maybe I'll do a 'classic' prog rock list at one point (or merely copy one of those already posted), but I gather I'd rather do yet another completely under-the-radar offering  |

Speaking my love-language: Classic prog from 1968-1979. For me: 1) Blood, Sweat & Tears [1968]: (Second eponymous album) "Blues, Part II" - hardly anyone knows this masterful prog-esque track (almost 12 minutes) on an album that otherwise is known to have launched BS&T's career. 2) King Crimson [1969]: (First Album) "21st Century Schizoid Man" - just for the absolute mastery of their instruments; simply amazing! 3) Chicago [1970]: (Chicago 2?) "A Suite for a Girl in Manhattan" - a long, prog-esque goodie that includes a hit-single that got lots of radio play (not that I care about that). 4) Yes [1972]: (CTTE) "And You and I" - my favorite song on the three-song album; bar none... 5) ELP [1972]: (Trilogy) "Trilogy" - A masterful suite of a tune that encompasses many emotions throughout the course of its nearly 10 minutes of journey into a wonderful soundscape... 6) Genesis [1974]: (TLLDOB) "The Colony of Slipperman" - the most controversial song the band ever played live (according to most of them); but, it is a showcase of their mastery on all of their instruments. 7) Camel [1976]: (Moonmadness) "Lunar Sea" - a masterpiece featuring Peter Bardens and his keyboard arsenal right before he left Camel with Andrew Latimer as the frontman. 8) Return To Forever [1976]: (Romantic Warrior) "The Duel of the Jester and the Tyrant" - Debate all you want over whether RTF is 'prog' or 'fusion' - I say they are prog. Why? Based on the fact that no one believes that Al Di Meola is a jazz guitarist - and, I agree! The man is a prog-master on the guitar locked up in the fusion camp (which, I believe, is too bad) 9) Jethro Tull [1977]: (Songs from the Wood) "Pibroch: Cap in Hand" - A sweet little prog-esque tune that starts with heavy-metal guitar, then goes into a jazzy riff chorus, and segues into a folk music bridge in the middle - a brilliant prog transition (if I say so myself). 10) UK [1978]:(First eponymous album) "Nevermore" - A marvelous showcasing of Eddie Jobson on keyboards and Allan Holdsworth on guitar. If that group had stayed together, "they would have gone places." Sorry, got to (10) before I reached 1979. But, if I was to include a 1979 listing, it would have to be Michael Rutherford's solo project, Smallcreep's Day. If for nothing else, the instrumental track number (6), "Out Into the Daylight," is most notable for Rutherford's prowess at 'tapping' - and Simon Phillips' marvelous drumming skills on the track. Okay, I am done gloating over all this great 1968-1979 era music... |

"House with No Door" is a wonderful song!  I should give "H to He" more spins.
