Personally, I'm not sure if they're prog or not...so I wasn't sure where to put them...
Anyway, I've only been listening to them for a short while, but am a fan none the less (I only own the album Spooky Two)...
Any fans here???

We've been here before. I can see why they are considered prog and many years ago I considered Spooky Two to be a prog album. But in all honesty, it's a blues/ heavy rock album (yet is one of my all time favourites- their output gets no better than that album imo), really. 'Ceremony' is the one where they branched out yet that's less their music than the avant garde electronics that goes with it.

I only have "Ceremony". Very weird stuff... (Bluesy) rock meets experimental electronic music. The avant part courtesy of Pierre Henry.

Hit it right on the button, James, I'd say their proggiest album is their last one, the collab with Pierre Henry.
But all in all ST is not really anymore than a good blues-derived band that went along with the prog tendencies of the day.

Spooky Thooth one of the greatest band i consider them to be protoprog, but Ceremony have one of the most fiery guitar played, only ruined by the electronics of Pierre Henry.
Also The Last Puff was a great album with a killer version of I am the Walrus.

Not prog, I think, and I wouldn't even call them proto-prog. But great melodious songs, fantastic autumn-like atmosphere and two magnificent singers. I'm talking about Spooky Two now: fantastic album for the biggest part.

Yep, they were your standard issue heavy blues-rock band. Spooky Two is a great album, one I enjoy every time I listen to it, and I've been listening to it for nearly 40 years now. The guitar solo on Evil Woman is worth the price of admission.

AGREE!! I am not much into covers, but I AM THE WALRUS by Spooky Tooth is wonderful.
SPOOKY TWO is maybe one of the 100 best rock albums ever made...Lost in My dreams (if i am correct) is a wonderful athmospheric song and the 9mn Evil Woman a great hard rock epic.
Mike Harrison had a heck of a voice!
Not a prog band, but i have seen even less proggish artists listed here on PA.

I dont care what they're categoerised as, but they're a great band. They should have been much bigger.

The Mirror is probably the closest to the fringe's of prog, with Gary Wrigh't swirling synths leading the way. The whole album is exceptional but the title tune is an outright FM rock classic . Great drumming on the album also. Anyone heard this one, used to play a lot on FM radio back then

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Spookytooth is a great great band, but it is hard to say if they should be included in here. If so, they should be in the "proto prog" or "prog related" section. They're so awesome that I chose their name to be my user name on these forums...

Would you like some Bailey's? |

Suggest them to the Admin Team, and if they are accepted, volunteer to write a bio and add the albums. That is how we go about PP and PR additions. If you write the bio, whoever adds them physically will credit you. |
