At last some people agree with me.
Janes addiction did some progressive songs.
Then She Did
Ted, Just Admit It
Of Course
and Three Days
What pisses me off is I remember reading in Rolling Stone magazine that the 3 songs mentioned above that was on Ritual de Lo Habitual as self indulgent, meandering and too long. Then She Did, Of Course and Three Days is what made that cd great.....the rest was just simple alternative...naturally the critic thought the rest of good, but was weighed down by these three tunes and thus gave the effort 2 stars.

Madgo,did you hear the extended version of Love Is Like Oxygen? This is a prog track! 
A few others off the top of my head:
Lone Star - The Bells Of Berlin
Be Bop Deluxe - Blazing Apostles
Al Stewart - Nostradamus
Iron Maiden - Ryme Of The Ancient Mariner
Mountain - Nantucket Sleighride (to Owens Coffin)
Simple Minds - Waterfront
Beatles - Day In The Life
Jean Michel Jarre - Magnetic Fields Pt1
Deep Purple - Child In Time
Hi Richard - yes that is the version I heard and I thought it was very good actually, I had always remembered Sweet as being a top forty band but they obviously had some very good elements to them. I always thought they had the Queen type vocals early on, maybe even before Queeen I see you mention "Lone Star" and that must be the band from Wales with Paul Chapman later of UFO and Waysted. I have their albums and enjoy them quite a bit. Thought I was the only one who remembered them...
Madgo
Hi Madgo.I have both Lone Star's albums as well.The first album has some seriously proggy stuff and is very good IMO.They also employed Jeff Wayne to provide an orchestral arrangement for one of the songs on 'Firing On All Six'.I reckon they have enough Prog credentials for them to be included in the archive.What do you reckon?
|
Yeah I would imagine they belong in the archives as well. Have you ever heard the third album which was unreleased? I got a hold of it about a year ago and it was finished up by Paul Chapman. The production is a little shoddy but still worth having for the true fans of the band, not for the casual listener. |
I wasn't aware of a third album.Very intriguing.i would be interested in getting that as well as the BBC studio sessions they recorded.
Hey Richard - I would be happy to burn you copies of both if you cannot find them or whatever as I have the BBC sessions as well. Let me know and we can work something out.

Hey Gdub I think Rolling STone sold out a long time ago so anything that comes from that rag I wouldn't take too seriously. The magazine stinks of perfume samples and with the likes of Britney Spears, Kid Rock,etc gracing the covers they lost any credibility left back in the 90's.

Well what about deep purple's early albums-like The book of taliesyn and their third -deep purple?? With songs like Fault line and April or their astonishing live bootleg from Aachen Germany called Sonic Zoom ?? There is this instrumental called wring that neck which has this brilliant and exciting hammond solo.
Also for more relaxing music what about Sweet smoke live album???

Many hard rock and heavy metal bands have proggy songs in their repertoire. Here's a few:
Rainbow - Stargazer
Led Zeppelin - No Quarter (especially the live version), Achilles' Last Stand, Kashmir
Black Sabbath - Spiral Architect
Iron Maiden - Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, To Tame a Land
Metallica - The Call of Cthulhu
Blue Oyster Cult - 7 Screaming Dizbusters, Veteran of the Psychic Wars
As to The Doors, I'd mention at least The End, When the Music's Over and Riders on the Storm. I also noticed somebody mentioned Frankie Goes to Hollywood's Welcome to the Pleasure Dome, which I have always found great - a guilty pleasure?

Love is like Oxygen by Sweet. This famous glam rock outfit released a last album that was quite different from their straightforward previous ones. And this number is really good.

Gowan "Criminal Mind". (rather obscure, I know)
Sarah MacLaughlin "Possession".
Leonard Cohen "Dance Me To The End Of Love".
Neil Young "Country Girl".
The OMD album "Dazzle Ships".
Otis Redding's "Try A Little Tenderness". A brilliantly deceptive piece of music. It sounds like just another R&B tune until you listen carefully.
XTC "Dear God".
Talking Heads... well, so many to choose from.
The Police "I Burn For You".
That's all I can think of now.

Led Zeppelin: albums House of the Holy, Physical Graffitti, Presence. All of them have progressive rock elements. A good example is the song "No Quarter", very atmospheric and preogressive.
Same for Black Sabbath's albums Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Sabotage.

I'd have to agree with you there. I'd also consider Tommy to be Progressive Album in it's own right, likewise with Quadrophenia, which is my favorite album.
|
Tommy and Quadrophenia are 100% Prog. Many few songs are Prog like A quick one, Won't get fooled again, Baba O'Riley, among others.
The Who has more merits to be in this page than The Beatles??
Queen?? I

Nofx- The decline

That's funny that you would mention the decline. I was going to post that but you beat me to it. I've always thought of this song as semi-progressive, well progressive for punk at least. I mean the tune is twenty-something minutes long, and although it could be thought of as just a bunch of little songs mixed together, there is a flow to them and it does feel like one long dynamic song. I think the decline is a perfect example of a non-prog band doing a prog song because many of the bands listed so far are almost prog or art rock to begin with, so it is not that much of a stretch, but a PUNK band doing a prog song is more amazing and unexpected.
I always thought Steely Dan was pretty progressive, as well as the Doobie Brothers. Many of Rainbow songs are progressive as well.
The one that sticks out the most in my mind is Edgar Winter's Frankenstein. That song sticks out like a sore thumb at the end of that album and is completely different from anything he did to my knowledge.
