one of the sources indeed. 

Right, when we not only talk about Symphonic but other sub-genres, as well, like for instance Folk-Rock and Jazz-Rock - but I'd say Psychedelic Rock was the main source as Symphonic Prog must be regarded as the main sub-genre, at least historically speaking.

what is not-progressive psych? 
Late 60s psych was an influence on prog, so I don't know what you're trying to say. Confused

I distinguish between Psychedelic Rock (not least second half of the 60's) and Psychedelic Prog, being for instance:

Pink Floyd  (UK) :   The Dark Side Of the Moon  (1973)

Boredoms  (J) :   Vision Creation Newsun  (1999)  (alt. Krautrock)

Hawkwind  (UK) :   Space Ritual  (1973) 

Oceansize  (UK) :   Effloresce  (2003)

Kingston Wall  (Fin) :   II  (1993)

Eloy  (D) :   Ocean  (1977) 

Nektar  (UK) :   A Tab In The Ocean  (1972) 

Steve Hillage  (UK) :   Fish Rising  (1975)

Manfred Mann’s Earth Band  (UK) :   Solar Fire  (1973)

Älgarnas Trädgård  (S) : Framtiden är ett svävande skepp... (1972)  (alt. Folk-Rock)

Gila (D)  :   Gila  (1971)  (alt. Krautrock)

If my recent Psychedelic Rock poll was anything to go by, you may well be right, seeing as you & I were the only two who voted in the poll Smile

That sounds good, especially if all your favourites are allmost equal to you. Big smile  And sorry for misunderstanding.

But if you do that, it won't be quite in line with something like one album per band, I included in my opening list.

If you do that, I guess you've got inspired by my way to choose the list to present here.

I simply write down a list of all the usable song or album titles by an artist and then include as many titles as I possibly can in the story, just like this:-

Yes, but having in mind your quite long story as your OP to The Dark Side of the Moon where the whole Pink Floyd discography was your starting point,  it's really impressive you can keep control of it, for not to mention the fictive story itself - yes, in short, I'm very impressed!

I know. DrWu23 said the same thing too, but in my defence, all of the artists are British on my Psych Britannia channel:- 

Arthur Brown (17); The Beatles (14); Cream (8); Dark (2); Edgar Broughton Band (13)
The Flower Pot Men (3); Ginger Baker (25); Hapshash & the Coloured Coat (2); The Idle Race (4)
Jody Grind (2); Kaleidoscope (4); Love Sculpture (2); The Move (6); Nirvana (10); Octopus (1)
Pretty Things (19); Quintessence (9); Rolling Stones (60); Simon Dupree & the Big Sound
 Them; Unicorn; Velvett Fogg; The Who; The Yardbirds; The Zombies

And something else again, Paul, after I've been looking around in different PA forums, I can only say, it's tremendous and incredible amount of work, you've done here. You should get an order from PA for that. Smile

I've heard David Bowie telling in an interview that when he wrote lyrics it could be based on a lot of words he had cut out from a newspaper. And then he just wrote lyrics using these words, and it might be without any specific meaning - but that's not the case with your "stories".


I simply write down a list of all the usable song or album titles by an artist and then include as many titles as I possibly can in the story, just like this:-

Tonight, it's time to pay tribute to one of our all-time musical Heroes - the much-missed David Bowie. Who could forget him in his first starring film role as the bewildered alien in The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976), where he was regarded as something of a Space Oddity by humans. The Reality is that it's the Earthlings who are the real Scary Monsters in the movie though, at least from Bowie's point of view, as government scientists are wanting to keep Bowie in captivity to perform experiments on him. He reaches a new Low point when he becomes addicted to the earthly vice of alcohol and discovers the "prison" he's been kept in for Hours on end as a Lodger is actually unlocked and he's able to wander Outside its walls. At the sad conclusion of the film, he's discovered The Next Day slumped in a drunken stupor outside a restaurant, so I'm afraid there's no Hunky Dory happy ending for our alien friend. Confused

All album titles highlighted in Blue by David Bowie.
