What was the First Prog Punk Band? Was it Etron Fou Leloublan, The Art Bears, or This Heat? |

But there also were Punishment of Luxury, Spizz Energi or Oingo Boingo at the same times.

Alice Cooper should get a vote....their first LP, "Pretties For You," was signed to Frank Zappa's "Straight" label.
"The first Alice Cooper album is a real oddity baring few signs of what
was to come. Showing the obvious influence of both Syd Barrett's Pink
Floyd and Frank Zappa (on who's label it was orginally released) it
shows a band still finding its legs but there are still some great
tracks on offer. 'Reflected' later became 'Elected' and was a huge hit
in 1972, and 'Fields Of Regret' and 'Levity Ball' also show signs of
what is to come. Not exactly essential, but certainly not as band as
some people claim. Dennis Dunaway still notes this as his favourite
Alice Cooper record." Edited by cstack3 - August 11 2012 at 21:30 |

You can never trust the Wikipedia genre classifications. I've seen some that are quite a stretch. |

Early Roxy Music the first 2 albums had an edge to them and were huge influence on the emerging Brit punk scene. Bob Calvert most certainly was a prog-punkster, his solo material particularly. The first 3 Ultravox albums also would be in there, close to Magazine's output.

They also classify Angels & Airwaves as neo-prog.

I haven't heard the Cardiacs, but The Damned went prog (or art rock, whichever you will) about halfway into their career. The Dickies went arty prog, too, but they kept the punk vocals alongside the ripping heavy Hammond organ. Check out their track, "Caligula". Prog punk at its finest!

Roxy Music is a good shout although I would probably include them under 'art rock'. Always thought this was very proggy although Squeeze were probably not really 'punk' just happened to come along at the that timeThe Stranglers were the first proper prog punk band imo

Not so sure about Art Bears or This Heat but Etron Fou Leloublan is definitely one of the first bands to mix prog and punk. |

Almost forgot the Subhumans. While I wouldn't call them a prog punk band, they took an admirable stab at prog rock on their album "From the Cradle to the Grave" in 1984. The first side was a string of 9 short-to-medium length songs that segued together, and the second side was a single 17 minute multi-part suite. Probably my favorite punk album of all time.
