Leaving out the likes of Led Zeppelin & Queen, which of these is your favourite act listed on PA as being "Prog Related"? ------------- rotten hound of the burnie crew |

What a strange mix. How on earth do I pick my favorite out of Vangelis, Kate Bush, Terry Riley or David Bowie? -------------

VANGELIS!!! Why is he even prog-related? Some of his stuff is very proggy. Either they overlooked the fact he's done more than soundtracks, or saw how his music is so diverse that they didn't know where to put him, and gave up. |

I'm saying the same since ages,but it's probably because he has crossed every subgenre during the years. Anyway I can't not vote for Barrett, Wishbone Ash, Riley and Bowie. Those five are almost always in my mp3 reader's playlist ------------- Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half. My poor home recorded stuff at https://yellingxoanon.bandcamp.com |

Groundhogs!! Man I love everything this band has done. Tony Mcphee is one of the most overlooked guitar players around here, I don't ever see his name gets mentioned. Anyone who's interested in Hard Rock with prog influences don't look elsewhere, this is some killer stuff. |

'cos you can't. People can't create a polls in the PP & PR Lounge - it's that way for a reason - if anyone could start a poll there it would rapidly get choked with "add this band" and "delete that band" type polls - Admins made it this way on the understanding that they would move any poll into this area if need be. ------------- What? |

Yep you nailed it I had to vote Vangelis but he should not really be in prog related. If that was the case I would vote for Kate Bush.

China and Beauborg as well I suppose from the 80's onwards it could be argued that Vangelis just followed a tried and tested formula , something he has almost admitted. Record company pressure to release those 'Vangelis sounding' albums and indifference to his more adventurous efforts such as Invisible Connections and Mask which is where I think he wanted to go with his music.. That said I love Voices from his later period. Just beautiful music , no one should be bored by this.

Not just a tested formula. Invisible Connections was released in 1985 and it's very different from any other of his albums. ------------- Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half. My poor home recorded stuff at https://yellingxoanon.bandcamp.com |

Revisited the thread....I'll try a few of those Vangelis selections. I do have 666 by Aphrodites Child...of course, but the only Vangelis I bought was on vinyl many years ago called 'Albedo'.. something. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

Vangelis is good, very relaxing. Yeah I guess he doesn't fit under
progressive electronic, but surely crossover is more apt than related. Far more concerning is Iron Maiden currently in the lead. I thought PA was generally avoidant of neanderthal music (metal is not doing well in the favorite subgenre polls). |

Thatis considered by many to be one of his best releases and a classic, but Vangelis has actually been pretty eclectic. His more ambient and new agey stuff you'd probably want to avoid. If you have the time, you might be interested in checking out The Dragon and Hypothesis. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uS8AO54suYE&index=1&list=PL460D54F02AA73B1D" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uS8AO54suYE&index=1&list=PL460D54F02AA73B1D Earth is one of my favourites of his. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE3FF711E9E434ECD" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE3FF711E9E434ECD ------------------------------------------------------------------ Anyway, I think my top two from the list would be Bowie and Riley these days. ------------- Just a fanboy passin' through. |

A lot of artists here I kind of want to hear that I haven't yet. So I'm not particularly confident with my vote, but I went with Syd Barrett. The Madcap Laughs is pretty great. ------------- https://blankspacerecords.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - Blank Space Records |
