Literary Characters in Prog - A Poll

My previous theme was "sunset", and this one begins with a "sunrise".

So...

I hope you'll have fun.

But, please don't "Rush". 

Edit: As Rick1 said (and then BaldJean elaborated): "The 'Gong' track first appeared on Daevid Allen's solo album, 'Banana Moon'."

Here come the videos:

Rush.

The Psychedelic Ensemble album "Mother's Rhymes" has several songs of literary characters.

PFM.

Difficult not to pick Rush.

BaldJean wrote: "Stoned Innocent Frankenstein" and "... and his Adventures in the Land of Flip)" is originally from the Daevid Allen solo album "Banana Moon". there is no real pause between these two tracks

Thank you both for this. I'll edit my post accordingly, but not change the option. I'll just give the info you provided.

BTW, Jeanine. I considered adding a "Dorothy" option too (as I remember it is one of your daughters' name); yet, while I saw prog songs with that name, I couldn't be sure if they are about the Dorothy of The Wizard of Oz. Moonlight Comedy have an album entitled Dorothy (and about "that" Dorothy), in fact; but none of its song titles mentions that name.

Outside the scope of my knowledge, unfortunately. 

^ I included one "character" per option.

Edit: Huckleberry has a friend there though.

how about "Badabec", "Pantagruel" and "Panurge"? all 3 appear in "Gargantua and Pantagruel" by François Rabelais. "Badabec" (Gargantua's wife) and "Pantagruel" are mentioned in "Pantagruel's Nativity" (a song that is sung by Gargantua), "Pantagruel" and "Panurge" appear in "The Advent of Panurge". both are songs by Gentle Giant

Sure. There could have been put 25 options (I didn't prefer that), or even even 250 options (if technically possible) there.
