Well what about deep purple's early albums-like The book of taliesyn and their third -deep purple?? With songs like Fault line and April or their astonishing live bootleg from Aachen Germany called Sonic Zoom ?? There is this instrumental called wring that neck which has this brilliant and exciting hammond solo.
Also for more relaxing music what about Sweet smoke live album???

[QUOTE=gdub411]

At last some people agree with me.

Janes addiction did some progressive songs.

Then She Did

Ted, Just Admit It

Of Course

and Three Days

What pisses me off is I remember reading in Rolling Stone magazine that the 3 songs mentioned above that was on Ritual de Lo Habitual as self indulgent, meandering and too long. Then She Did, Of Course and Three Days is what made that cd great.....the rest was just simple alternative...naturally the critic thought the rest of good, but was weighed down by these three tunes and thus gave the effort 2 stars.

Hey Gdub I think Rolling STone sold out a long time ago so anything that comes from that rag I wouldn't take too seriously.  The magazine stinks of perfume samples and with the likes of Britney Spears, Kid Rock,etc gracing the covers they lost any credibility left back in the 90's.

Madgo,did you hear the extended version of Love Is Like Oxygen? This is a prog track!

A few others off the top of my head:

Lone Star - The Bells Of Berlin

Be Bop Deluxe - Blazing Apostles

Al Stewart - Nostradamus

Iron Maiden - Ryme Of The Ancient Mariner

Mountain - Nantucket Sleighride (to Owens Coffin)

Simple Minds - Waterfront

Beatles - Day In The Life

Jean Michel Jarre - Magnetic Fields Pt1

Deep Purple - Child In Time

Hi Richard - yes that is the version I heard and I thought it was very good actually, I had always remembered Sweet as being a top forty band but they obviously had some very good elements to them.  I always thought they had the Queen type vocals early on, maybe even before Queeen  I see you mention "Lone Star" and that must be the band from Wales with Paul Chapman later of UFO and Waysted.  I have their albums and enjoy them quite a bit.  Thought I was the only one who remembered them...

Madgo

 

Hi Madgo.I have both Lone Star's albums as well.The first album has some seriously proggy stuff and is very good IMO.They also employed Jeff Wayne to provide an orchestral arrangement for one of the songs on 'Firing On All Six'.I reckon they have enough Prog credentials for them to be included in the archive.What do you reckon? 

Yeah I would imagine they belong in the archives as well.  Have you ever heard the third album which was unreleased?  I got a hold of it about a year ago and it was finished up by Paul Chapman.  The production is a little shoddy but still worth having for the true fans of the band, not for the casual listener. 

I wasn't aware of a third album.Very intriguing.i would be interested in getting that as well as the BBC studio sessions they recorded.

Hey Richard - I would be happy to burn you copies of both if you cannot find them or whatever as I have the BBC sessions as well.  Let me know and we can work something out.

I always thought the keyboard solo in "Strawberry Letter 23" by the Brothers Johnson sounded cool. Progressive Funk.

I also think that "Monsters" (Cultosaurus Erectus) is a very proggy track - I love the way it drops into that jazz groove then flip-flops back into the searing metal riff.

Venom totally rock, and are true pioneers... that's an incredible album (if purely for its audacity) - but I just gotta laugh Devil 3

As a prog album, it's certainly got a side-long track...

Umm..I think you'll find that Uriah Heep IS a Prog band (certainly more Prog than Radiohead could ever dream about being).

It's not true to say that Uriah Heep are more prog than Radiohead - in fact it is very much the other way around: UH never came up with anything as progressive as "Kid A" or "Amnesiac" - and I've yet to hear anything UH have done that is even half as proggy as anything on "OK Computer".

"Magician's Birthday" is not a prog track - it's a simple rock track that's been extended, and has that outrageously Nigel Tufnell style guitar solo at the end.

"Evil Woman" by Spooky Tooth, from the album "Spooky Two" is a better prog track by a non-prog band (and it's 5 years earlier).

Lots of 10cc is progressive. For example, their entire "How Dare You"
album is progressive, and a fantastic listen to boot. Lots of their
"Deceptive Bends" and "Bloody Tourists" is also progressive. Actually, I'm
a bit surprised 10cc hasn't found its way onto ProgArchives.
