No. 4 is now jointly Kate Bush & Jethro Tull ;) This is just a bit of fun, and was initially only really intended as a straight Arena v Rush vote, even when I had Arena and Rush at the top followed by a load of hard rock and metal songs. No. 7 is now all versions of Season of the Witch. Incidentally, my favourite version was on the Bloomfueld, Cooper, Stills Super Session, which I had on LP many years before I even knew it was a Donovan song. |

I would have voted for Season of the Witch by Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger and the Trinity if it had been included in the poll.

Witches Promise - Jethro Tull, Waking the Witch - Kate Bush, Witchy Woman - Eagles (non-prog, I know), The Witch Queen of New Orleans - Redbone (more non-prog), they're all ok, but... Witch Hunt beats them all. -------------

There are a few good versions out there ... Guy Guden used to play 5 (or was it 6) of them back to back at Halloween time ... it was far out ... and I STILL do not know who 2 of those versions are! I'm pretty sure one of those was Vanilla Fudge. So that makes three ... and he would add ... the version by The Masked Marauders ... which was by far the most fun of them all! But this poll doesn't have The Masked Marauders! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told! www.pedrosena.com |

Oh, alright, if we're just namechecking 'Witch' songs - 'Witch' by Kevin Coyne. Which isn't even remotely prog, but is superb. ...come to think of it, it probably is remotely prog.

I would like to add Shakti Yoni the good witch alias Gilli Smyth. Her introduction song on Gong's "Flying Teapot" album is "Witch's Song / I am your Pussy". Shakti (<span lang="sa-Deva">शक्ति in Sanskrit) </span>is a Hindu Goddess. In Hinduism there are many Goddesses, but they are all seen as different manifestations of Shakti. She also is the wife of each member of the Trimurti (a trinity of Gods): Brahma (ब्रह्मा) the creator as Sarasvati (<span ="Deva" style="font-style:normal" lang="sa-Deva">सरस्वती)</span>, Vishnu (<span style="font-style:normal" lang="sa-Deva">विष्णु</span>) the preserver as Lakshmi (लक्ष्मी), and Shiva (<span lang="sa">शिव) the destroyer as Parvati (</span>पार्वती). Yoni (योनि), by the way, is the representation of the female sexual organ in Sanskrit; the male counterpart is Lingam (लिङ्गम). The song is sung by Gilli Smyth alias Shakti Yoni and Daevid Allen alias Zero the Hero. Here are the lyrics: Shakti Yoni: "I am your pussy You are my tramp ... I'm a cat with a flat cap Be careful or I might scratch you Or turn into a witch And fly away on my broomstick I only want to know you I only want to lick you... Every bit of fish and chips that I can find to feed you Give it to you...." Zero the Hero: |Cos I love you love you love you ... I only want to know you I only want to lick you I only want to feed you Every bit of fish and chips that I can find to feed you Give it to you" And here is the song: The word "pussy" in this song is obviously ambiguous; there are references to both "cat" and "yoni" meanings in the song ("I only want to lick you". Yeah, lick a cat). And what exactly does it mean that Zero the Hero offers "fish and chips" to Shakti Yoni? -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

Mark Fry's "The Witch" was the first one that came to my mind when I saw this topic. Forgot to respond at the time. Also Donovan's Season of the Witch and Gong's "Witch's Song / I am your Pussy". And Mandingo's "Witchdoctor" (since Mandingo III is one of my favourite albums). Since I love so-called folk horror, there must be a lot of folk horror type music that would fit. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Various music I am very into: a youtube playlist with two tracks per act |

That Witch in the first series of the Pogles terrified me as a child; ive recently bought the DVD of those early series (rescued from Oliver Postgate's archive) from www.dragons-friendly-society.co.uk Apart from the many mentioned already, the one which comes to mind is actually Psych/ Proto prog: https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=i&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.45cat.com%2Frecord%2Ff23058fr&psig=AOvVaw0GKoU2iLW5QGO0UkGCWvXn&ust=1583012177625000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCJCFkJqa9ecCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAJ" rel="nofollow">  https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DxYe36wBH4v0&psig=AOvVaw0GKoU2iLW5QGO0UkGCWvXn&ust=1583012177625000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCJCFkJqa9ecCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAD" rel="nofollow">  ------------- |

About ten years ago, some kind soul on a forum sent me a whole bunch of cd-r with Pogle's Wood and loads of other Postgate stuff. I also have a CD with lots of Vernon Eliot music for the various Postgate productions - Ivor the Engine was my favourite. |

Magenta - Revolutions album had a piece that was referred to as 'The White Witch'. Donovan's The Season of The Witch was used as the theme for Season 2 of Britannia on Sky (in the UK). A truly bonkers TV show if ever there was one but great fun!

Yes, we have a rule against that as this site can face legal action. Excerpts and parodies are fine. It's best not to quote in full in such cases either as that compounds the issue. I'll edit both posts. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Various music I am very into: a youtube playlist with two tracks per act |

Hi, I agree 100% ... however, I think there are limits to the legal action ... for example, you and I can quote Shakespeare as much as we like, or Dante, or Don Quixote ... but anything within the last half century (28 years plus 28 years possible renewal I think it was ... have to check what was done with my dad's work! It's all a secret, you know ... !!!) might be alright, although I am concerned with the movie studios owning stuff for a lot longer than they should and not let it by. The worst story of these is FZ's 200 Motels, that still was not owned by the family when Gail passed. And the movie company sold it to another company so they could "renew" all the rights to themselves! Normally, my quotes are a sentence or two ... and sometimes paraphrased on purpose!

The length of the copyright life depends on what country you are in and on how the copyright of any given text is managed and why the text was written.. But most importantly which laws govern this website. I don't know what your 28 years refers to. I work with texts and books and standard copyright law in the UK and USA is typically 70 years after the death of the author. If the work was written "for hire" then the period is much longer. |

Seriously? The lyrics can be found on numerous websites; why don't they have problems with copyright? And this is by no means the first time someone posted complete lyrics to a song. I have never seen this being critisized before. ------------- BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

They do have problems. In the last five years or so the abuses of copyright have got so out of hand on the net, that owners and authorites have really started cracking down on it. You may have noticed for example that you can't post music on your Facebook page anymore because FB has had a Shazam type bot in opeartion since about 2017. But copyright law applies to everyone, eventhough most people ignore it. But things are changing. |

That topic is still there, visible, and meant to be read in the subforum at the top of the board: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=78" rel="nofollow - "Site rules and guidelines". The policy remains the same, as does much of the legal framework of this site from the early days. That this has not consistently been acted on does not negate the policy (it's not like content is constantly being watched by trained police or anything like that). In my work, copyright, fair use/fair dealing is also a very important consideration. You might get more of a sense if you speak to a lawyer, or do your own research, and contact M@x (although he can be hard to get in touch with). ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Various music I am very into: a youtube playlist with two tracks per act |
