 Topic: Unlikely prog -songs-Posted: August 30 2006 at 21:50 |

I've been using Pandora radio lately to get 'sounds like' type songs... I put in Marillion, they started me off with a live rendition of Fugazi, but then...
They're playing this live cut called "Catapult" by Counting Crows, and this track... not other CC songs... but this track alone, sounds VERY neo-proggy, with a throatier vocalist... it's awesome! Anything else like that, where a non-prog artist is just progging it up?  |

905 on the" Who are you" album. Entwhisle sings like Gabriel and the Who sound slightly like Genesis.

I have to continue this The Who trend by mentioning "A Quick One While He's Away". Sure they have ZERO keyboards, but it changes musical structure about 6 times and just... feels like Prog. Haha.

That David Gates song, I forget the name but it's prog. It's a shame he's not a prog artist though!

"Three Days" - Jane's Addiction
...structured like a prog song...long, virtuoso drumming, trippy intro, buid up to a nice dissonant interlude, then a final adrenalin rush of uplifting chords in the climax...very proggy, actually... |

A lot of early Chicago, basically up to their seventh album is very prog like, however their sound is based on swing and jazz and so probably weren't really thought of for this site. Give them a try you'll be surprised;
Especially their first album, "Chicago Transit Authority" |

I always mention Iron Maiden 'Phantom Of The Opera'.Thats a mad peice of prog rock..utterly brilliant IMO.I suppose Maiden have always been borderline prog metal and their next release will be another concept album by all accounts.
Another worth a mention is Ram Jam Band 'Black Betty'.You have to hear the extended version where they break out into a fast southern boogie in the middle of the song (totally edited out on the single version).The sudden change in tempo gives it a proggy feel to my ears.

I agree on all the Jane's Addiction songs suggested.
Alice Cooper - Black Juju (+the suite on Welcome to my Nightmare) The Dears - Protest EP (the whole EP) Young gods - Summer Eyes and the album Play Kurt Weill Dead Can Dance - Towards the Within and loads more that could fit the Indo/Raga or maybe prog-folk subgenre. Einstürtzende Neubauten - Headcleaner and more Faith No More - The Real Thing, Woodpecker from Mars, Jizzlobber ++ David Bowie - More or less the whole Berlin trilogy, Heroes, Low and Lodger. Songs: All the Madmen, The Width of a Circle Mentioned by me and others in similar threads: late sixties early seventies Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, Blue Ôyster Cult, Metallica |

That's the one! Heard on the radio once and quite liked it, but apparently the rest of the album isn't anything like it.

True. That song is great, the rest is average Bread-style pop.

Alice Cooper has a song - "Nobody likes me" and part of it is like opera. realy nice.
I'd like to add to David Bowie list the song "Cygent comitee" it's a great epic IMO. Actualy I feel Bowie is a very progressive artist.

To what extend would Alice Coopers 'Halo of Flies' qualify as well? |

Come to think of it, "Then She Did" is a proggy tune as well... |
