 Topic: Top 5 From Your Fave 3
Posted: July 23 2016 at 16:52 |
What do you think are the five best songs/epics/instrumentals from your three favourite prog bands/artists? It'll be interesting to see what people think. I could make a list myself but my fave prog artists change every hour.  |

Someone's got to make a start here, lists lists lists.
Can/Holger Czukay: Spoon; Paperhouse; Yoo Doo Right; Traeum Mal Wieder; Mirage (Remix)
King Crimson: Starless; Thela Hun Ginjeet; Industry; Dinosaur; Sleepless
I leave out Art Zoyd because most of their albums work as a unit and I can't really tear five tracks out of them, so I give the third spot instead to the Cardiacs: Big Ship; Signs; Mare's Nest; The Ever So Closely Guarded Line; In a City Lining

The problem with the question is that it would take hours of auditing to form an honest five answers. I'll stew on it but don't expect results.

It's very tough, yeah, so my approach was to not be too perfectionist.

Rush: Cygnus X-1, The Necromancer, Peaceable Kingdom, Xanadu, Tom Sawyer Gentle Giant: In a Glass House, Wreck, The Power and the Glory, Free Hand, Peel the Paint Eloy: Castle in the Air, Light From Deep Darkness, Madhouse, Song of a Paranoid Soldier, Prisoner in Mind

Very nice. No overlap with my list but I've considered Oh Yeah and Mother Sky, too, and you made me realise that I haven't listened enough yet to The Lost Tapes, Dead Pigeon Suite is such a gem! (I was close to putting Vitamin C in, but couldn't resist having Holger's stunning solo works on the list.)

That's just a cop-out. Don't be shy, give us your list! If this has changed one hour later, so be it.

Camel: Lady Fantasy, Rhyader, Lunar Sea, Never Let Go, Song Within A Song

Albums would have been easier but what if one of your three has less than five albums?

Thanks! I think there's about five quarters worth of tunes ++ on The Lost Tapes that's on par with the material on their classic albums. So I had to rip it and sort of make a double album (of 2LP's-length) of highlights out of the original 3 hours and 16 minutes compiled of music to fully enjoy the genuine gems.
+You made me realize I haven't listened enough to Holger's solo works - although I've thoroughly enjoyed most of what I've heard.
