Hey guys,

Been listening a bit to Argent lately and I've been craving more. Do you know of any good key heavy prog rock reminescent of Argent? Preferebly with some classical influences too

Greenslade - 2nd tier Prog (apparently) should match this. Rod is in that ‘notch below the greats’ organist extraordinaire.......

Hey,

Thanks for the suggestion! Greenslade rocks!

He may not be the best but no one else wrote coming of kohoutek Clap I saw him riff out a 7 minute organ solo a couple of monthts back, front row, to hold your head up. you don't get to experience that many times in a life time!

I suspect you'll like these. The bands are connected; Graham Field left RB (a quartet with two keyboard players, and no guitarist) to form Fields (trio).

Cheers although in retrospect perhaps Flash was not such a good recommendation as their is not much keyboard in their music although they are from that era. Cherry Five was probably the band I was thinking of.

yep Cherry Five although it had completely passed me by until I checked that Cherry Five was actually Goblin before they changed their name!

Gotta throw Uriah Heep out there.

And for something both newer and proggier, you need to check out some Eloy.
