This may have been done before and, if so, I apologize. I'm curious as to people's top 10 favorite songs from the classic prog era (say, 68-79), with the condition that you can't repeat artists. In other words, top 10 songs---either epics or shorter songs---by different artists. In my case, I wanted to put both CTTE and Gates of Delerium in there, but restricted myself to one Yes entry. There are a lot of great post-70's prog bands (Flower Kings, Marillion, Spock's Beard, Porcupine Tree, etc.), but I'm curious about the classic period artists right now. I worked up my top 10 groups, then their best albums, then my favorite songs off those albums. Anyway, my list would be: 1. Close to the Edge-Yes 2. Karn Evil 9 -ELP 3. Supper's Ready -Genesis 4. Echoes- Pink Floyd 5. In the Court of the Crimson King -King Crimson 6. Thick As A Brick -Jethro Tull 7. 2112 -Rush 8. In The Dead of Night -U.K. 9. Journey from Mariabronn -Kansas 10. Legend of A Mind -Moody Blues I did this list off the top of my head and I'm sure I'm missing some great ones...Feel free to chime in...

thank you my friend. I thought it was pretty awesome myself. made another Battiato convert today as a matter of fact. I was ripping out a electrical panel in investment office today and this ..rather attractive 20 something lady asked me what I was listening to.. she said she had been listening.. intoxicating was her word to describe it. I said.. 'darlin' that is the best album of the 1970's you have never heard of...' She made me write down the artist and album title. Naturally it was Sequenze e Frequenze playing. I have it perminantly on my phone and whip it out when stressed... it just calms like.. like a joint.. only it won't get you fired.. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

The Lovers / Shadow of the Hierophant - Steve Hackett 16. Silently Falling - Chis Squire 17. April - Deep Purple 18. Echoes - Pink Floyd 19. Wunderschätze - Novalis 20. A Passion Play - Jethro Tull 21.

Admittedly, I purposely sought out the more obscure selections of my collection. It just gets a little uninteresting seeing 50 lists with Echoes, Supper's Ready, Close To The Edge, Tarkus etc etc.....don't get me wrong, I adore those tunes and they could just as easily have been featured in my list. Maybe I'll do a 'classic' prog rock list at one point (or merely copy one of those already posted), but I gather I'd rather do yet another completely under-the-radar offering ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Speaking my love-language: Classic prog from 1968-1979. For me: 1) Blood, Sweat & Tears [1968]: (Second eponymous album) "Blues, Part II" - hardly anyone knows this masterful prog-esque track (almost 12 minutes) on an album that otherwise is known to have launched BS&T's career. 2) King Crimson [1969]: (First Album) "21st Century Schizoid Man" - just for the absolute mastery of their instruments; simply amazing! 3) Chicago [1970]: (Chicago 2?) "A Suite for a Girl in Manhattan" - a long, prog-esque goodie that includes a hit-single that got lots of radio play (not that I care about that). 4) Yes [1972]: (CTTE) "And You and I" - my favorite song on the three-song album; bar none... 5) ELP [1972]: (Trilogy) "Trilogy" - A masterful suite of a tune that encompasses many emotions throughout the course of its nearly 10 minutes of journey into a wonderful soundscape... 6) Genesis [1974]: (TLLDOB) "The Colony of Slipperman" - the most controversial song the band ever played live (according to most of them); but, it is a showcase of their mastery on all of their instruments. 7) Camel [1976]: (Moonmadness) "Lunar Sea" - a masterpiece featuring Peter Bardens and his keyboard arsenal right before he left Camel with Andrew Latimer as the frontman. 8) Return To Forever [1976]: (Romantic Warrior) "The Duel of the Jester and the Tyrant" - Debate all you want over whether RTF is 'prog' or 'fusion' - I say they are prog. Why? Based on the fact that no one believes that Al Di Meola is a jazz guitarist - and, I agree! The man is a prog-master on the guitar locked up in the fusion camp (which, I believe, is too bad) 9) Jethro Tull [1977]: (Songs from the Wood) "Pibroch: Cap in Hand" - A sweet little prog-esque tune that starts with heavy-metal guitar, then goes into a jazzy riff chorus, and segues into a folk music bridge in the middle - a brilliant prog transition (if I say so myself). 10) UK [1978]:(First eponymous album) "Nevermore" - A marvelous showcasing of Eddie Jobson on keyboards and Allan Holdsworth on guitar. If that group had stayed together, "they would have gone places." Sorry, got to (10) before I reached 1979. But, if I was to include a 1979 listing, it would have to be Michael Rutherford's solo project, Smallcreep's Day. If for nothing else, the instrumental track number (6), "Out Into the Daylight," is most notable for Rutherford's prowess at 'tapping' - and Simon Phillips' marvelous drumming skills on the track. Okay, I am done gloating over all this great 1968-1979 era music... |

The title actually is "Little Red Riding Hood Hit the Road". Poor Little Red Riding Hood, not only did he turn you from an innocent young girl into an outlaw and changed her colour from red to green, he even changed your gender! ------------- BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

Geez, talk about a blast from the past... Nowadays, taking into account a mix of long-standing favourites and current infatuations, it'd look something like this:

ever heard of psychedelic/space rock? Cirrus Minor is from 1969. Great song btw :)

Whoops! More is from 69 you're right Cristi. Cirrus Minor is pure psychedelia yes but it is also progressive and thusly fits perfectly in psych/space where Floyd is placed. But sure these kind of threads more than often hold a lot of favourites rather than what many an outsider or indeed old school prog rock fan would consider real prog rock....but then again this is the forum and not the database. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.
