It's been a whole year since the last Now That's What I Call Prog compilation and it's your chance again to put together a selection of the twenty most influential prog rock songs (with ideally one song per artist) for the musically outstanding year of 1972. Will ii be a million-seller, or is it destined to find itself in some dusty old cellar?
 Now That's What I Call Prog 1972* Aphrodite's Child - Break Barclay James Harvest - Medicine Man Beggars Opera - MacArthur Park Captain Beyond - Thousand Days of Yesterdays Caravan - The Love in Your Eye (suite) Curved Air - Marie Antionette ELP - Abaddon's Bolero Flash - Dreams of Heaven Focus - Sylvia Genesis - Watcher of the Skies Hawkwind - Brainstorm Khan - Space Shanty The Moody Blues - Isn't Life Strange Nektar - A Tab in the Ocean Pink Floyd - Absolutely Curtains Renaissance - Sounds of the Sea Steel Mill - Blood Runs Deep Uriah Heep - The Wizard Wishbone Ash - Time Was Yes - Close to the Edge *In alphabetical order, although naturally, Aphrodite's Child's "Break" will be the last song on the album.

ELP's worst track off Trilogy is Abaddon's Bolero imo. I would go with the title track or Hoedown.
For Yes I would go for And You and I. Genesis - Suppers Ready (just why not??!) PFM - Il Banchetto Gentle Giant - The Advent of Panurge Aphrodite's Child - The Four Horsemen The Moody Blues - I'm just a Singer in a Rock n roll band ELO - From The Sun To The World Steel Dan - Do It Again |

Ah, prog's zenith year - so much good stuff to choose from. So, taking tracks that are both representative of the genre, and would hopefully grab the interest of the prog novice, in no particular order...
01. Babe Ruth - The Mexican 02. Curved Air - Marie Antoinette 03. Frumpy - Goin' to the Country 04. Renaissance - Carpet of the Sun 05. Analogy - The Year's at the Spring 06. Argent - Hold Your Head Up 07. Caravan - Waterloo Lily 08. E.L.P. - Hoedown 09. Focus - Sylvia 10. Hawkwind - Silver Machine 11. Santana - Just in Time to See the Sun 12. Yes - And You and I 13. Pink Floyd - Free Four 14. Deep Purple - Lazy 15. David Bowie - Five Years 16. Electric Light Orchestra - 10538 Overture 17. Groundhogs - Earth Shanty 18. The Moody Blues - Lost in a Lost World 19. Roxy Music - Virginia Plain 20. Kevin Ayres - whatevershebringswesing Includes some crossover / prog related, but hopefully proggy tracks all the same. Edited by Floydoid - July 11 2025 at 15:53 |
