| So I have been reviewing some J Tull, and it occurs to me that Blodwyn Pig is conspicuous in their absence here. Obviously not a long-lived band -- only two studio albums that I know of -- they certainly gave said J Tull a run for the money early on. There first -- Ahead Rings Out -- is a monster album. It seems perhaps they deserve a place here in some category or another. |

| A worthy proposal I'd say, Mick Abrahams solo work too perhaps? |

Absolutely ; if 'Bakerloo' has been included, then why not 'Keef Hartley Band', 'Blind Faith', 'Allman Brothers Band' ..................... ------------- 'Sundown,yellow moon, I replay the past I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast.....

| Not sure I follow there. Are you proposing that those bands are prog? What sub-genre would you say they are? |

If not for their whole body of work, at least for "A Head Rings Out".

Let's say like this:
Blodwyn Pig and Keef Hartley Band under 'Proto prog' since: ''Rock Bands in existence prior to 1969 that influenced the development of progressive rock'' according to the definition we find in PA and under which criteria Bakerloo has been included (their sole self titled album was released in 1969, the same year in which 'Ahead rings out' and 'Halfbreed' were released).
Blind Faith and Allman Brothers Band under 'Prog related' while: ''Are widely accepted as MUSICALLY influential to the development of Progressive Rock by the community'' . ------------- 'Sundown,yellow moon, I replay the past I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast..... Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.' Bob Dylan |

| It would be as well to raise separate new threads for each. If we extend this thread to cover them it will lose focus. |

I would be interested in hearing in detail how you think the Allman Brothers were influential to various prog bands. I can think of a reason or two, but they are pretty vague.
As for Blodwyn Pig, that's a band I'd like to hear enough about to form an opinion.

Quite strange, one would imagine I'd have an opinion to weigh in on here...I'm depressed. ------------- "There seem to be quite a large percentage of young American boys out there tonight. A long way from home, eh? Well so are we... Gotta stick together." -I. Anderson |
