Umm..I think you'll find that Uriah Heep IS a Prog band (certainly more Prog than Radiohead could ever dream about being).

 Cool. I've always considered their middle period ( Look At Yourself - The Magician's Birthday) progressive. They started out as a hard rock band similar to Deep Purple then their 80's and 90's output was more Metal-oriented.

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...

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?

John Sloman of Lone Star went on to join Uriah Heep breifly, for their "Conquest" album. Good band LS, "All of us to all of you" and all that. Not sure about their prog credentials though.

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.

Lots of 10cc is progressive. For example, their entire "How Dare You"
album is progressive, and a fantastic listen to boot. Lots of their
"Deceptive Bends" and "Bloody Tourists" is also progressive. Actually, I'm
a bit surprised 10cc hasn't found its way onto ProgArchives.

It's not true to say that Uriah Heep are more prog than Radiohead - in fact it is very much the other way around: UH never came up with anything as progressive as "Kid A" or "Amnesiac" - and I've yet to hear anything UH have done that is even half as proggy as anything on "OK Computer".
"Magician's Birthday" is not a prog track - it's a simple rock track that's been extended, and has that outrageously Nigel Tufnell style guitar solo at the end.
"Evil Woman" by Spooky Tooth, from the album "Spooky Two" is a better prog track by a non-prog band (and it's 5 years earlier).

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.

I also think that "Monsters" (Cultosaurus Erectus) is a very proggy track - I love the way it drops into that jazz groove then flip-flops back into the searing metal riff.

Venom totally rock, and are true pioneers... that's an incredible album (if purely for its audacity) - but I just gotta laugh 
As a prog album, it's certainly got a side-long track...

I always thought the keyboard solo in "Strawberry Letter 23" by the Brothers Johnson sounded cool. Progressive Funk.
