Tyrannosaurus Rex - Proto prog

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I am just curious do they qualify, as a very influentual band to many, i read describtion in the influence of acid folk bands Comus and Jan Dukes the Grey, or are they just a psychadeic folk band, can Tyrannosarus Rex be influded without adding the glam rock band T-Rex who is not prog rock, but Tyrannosarus and their discog, do it quaify for proto prog, proto prog folk, or is it a stretch?

	Does that mean T Rex should be here under Prog-Related?
	Help me I'm falling!

	Not as daft as it first appears Mr cheese, because Bolan worked on a symphonic rock suite called Children of Rarn that was to be a T.Rex release. Initially this was intended to be a double album accompanied by a full-length novel of the concept but was never completed, with only a very brief snippet of the suite appearing on the first T.Rex album. In 1974 Bolan rehearsed a 40 minute version of the suite but the project was shelved. After Bolan's death Tony Visconti pieced together a 16 minute sample of what the final album could have been like from demo sketches that Bolan had recorded over the years that he released as part of the posthumous Marc: Words and Music compilation. The Children of Rarn Suite isn't Progressive Rock, but it's certainly related. Personally I don't think the 16 minute Visconti version is enough to warrant adding TRex into Prog Related, but it gives a tantalising glimpse of what could have been.
