What songs in youre opinion are the most beautiful/sad prog rock songs? I was just thinking about this right now and the only songs I could think of were:
think of me with kindneness - Gentle Giant The Lie - Peter Hammill Firth of fith - Genesis Man erg - Van Der Graaf Generator Stagnation - Genesis Wind up - Jethro Tull If everyone was listening - Supertramp Cadance and Cascade - King Crimson I talk to the wind - King Crimson Focus II - Focus Focus III - Focus Btw. This is my first post ever. |

Great supertramp song. I've only listened to crime of the century, crisis, Even in the quietest moments and breakfast. All awesome albums. I didn't find shadow song on youtube (which proves your point about it being forgotten). I liked the Spinetta song :). Thanks for the reply

I don't like Genesis much, but their short acoustic songs are so beautiful.

ELP - From The Beginning
Genesis - Afterglow
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (for the sentiment as well as the music)
Jon and Vangelis - I'll Find My Way Home
Colosseum II - Castles (late great Gary Moore showing how well he can sing)
IQ - The Last Human Gateway (middle section from Forever Live)
Yes - Wonderous Stories
Kayak - Life Of Gold
..ok I know there is some reallly cheesey stuff in there but I still think these are beautifull songs by prog bands if not 'prog songs' as such
