Especially love the 1999 version with Trevor Horn's production. Supertramp--I'm Beggin' You, Cannonball Pink Floyd--Run Like Hell Yes--Soon

excellent choice, possibly best prog single ever by a non prog band another one that springs to mind: Babylon Zoo - Spaceman there was also a brilliant punk prog crossover in the late seventies The Headboys - The Shape Of Things To Come

Perhaps it might benefit from a different approach, say from a more recent prog artist. |

I didn't state this to 'take the mickey' out of the suggestion, just that there are many artists that can fit the bill for P.A., even though they are not truly 'prog'......

As far as I can see, this psych band did not release an album. I Feel Love is just electro-driven Moroder-style disco that has nothing to do with prog.

I bet I can find three more proggish connections regarding Donna Summer. 1. In the 60s she fronted a psychedelic band. 2. Her 2nd & 3rd albums each had side one filled with one long track. 3. Her 6th album is a concept album. And then there's "I Feel Love" - electronic? |

Counting Out Time was the other single from the album (not Lamb), and that is possibly the worse prog single ever.

If a 16+ minute track with 23 faked orgasms and a Jon & Vangelis-cover (which is, btw better than the original) should suffice, then let's find a fitting subgenre to try a suggestion. I think this would be easier if there was already a Prog Funk subgenre .

Carpet Crawlers was a single, and that is possibly the best prog single ever.

NB: Decided not to comment on Donna Summer inclusion, to avoid a possible ban for bad language.

If we're gonna have Donna Summer here at P.A. then we may as well include Prince, Madonna, Run DMC and Beastie Boys...............................................

Then maybe Psychedelic Funk could be a new prog subgenre, like Jazz Rock, Raga Rock, or Electronic - it's just an idea....

I've long thought Donna Summer should be Prog Related, or that there should be some sort of Prog Funk subgenre that can include Funkadelic, the late 60s-early 70s Temptations, etc.
