 Topic: pick prog artist for Saturday Night LivePosted: July 10 2012 at 23:34 |

I was listening to the new Diablo Swing Orchestra and it occurred to me that "Voodoo Mon Amour" might be a "proggy" (somewhat!) song that would do well on Saturday Night Live. Very peppy; even danceable.
What thinks you? Any other prog bands/songs that wouldn't be booed off the stage on SNL? (Yes, I know Radiohead has appeared already.) Edited by infocat - July 11 2012 at 23:04 |

Too easy.
The Mars Volta Pain of Salvation has the music to do it, but you know Gildenlow would totally pull a Sinead O'Conner. Edited by Tapfret - July 10 2012 at 23:56 |

Zappa played on SNL once. Although apparently the SNL cast didn't like him because he was anti-drug. Tool might be able to play on SNL as well. I concur on the Mars Volta, as well.

in the 80s & 90s you actually had Prog artists on SNL, or near-Prog: I recall Dave Gilmour, Peter Gabriel, Jeff Beck, Robert Plant, these days the musical guests on the show are frequently awful, it's a shame.

Fine fine yeah I agree with Jon Knifeworld, and most other Cardiacs related projects and Cardiacs themselves I think would fit. Maybe Wha-Ha-Ha. Freaky Japanese sh*t can always work.

I think A.C.T would be a perfect match.

I'd wager the Diablo Swing Orchestra would be lots of fun to watch.

I agree on Knifeworld.
Not sure about TMV. Certainly they have a fairly large fan-base. But it seems to me they are both too aggressive and too "weird" for SNL. But perhaps not!

Seriously though, I was going to say Sigur Ros, but figured they'd be too delicate and atmospheric for a show like SNL. They are quite accessible though, but lack the groove and upbeat I suppose a show like that would require.Umphrey's McGee, maybe? Phish?
