I just came across the Music Video for Kevin Ayers Caribbean Moon. Lord God almighty.
 
 
 
Any other music videos from Prog bands that made your appreciation for said artist go down?

It didn't reduce my opinion of Rush any, but lordy, the video for "Time Stand Still" was awful.  (worse cos it's one of my favorite songs of theirs)

Oh lordy, that's awful.  Bad video for a bad song.  Pinch  I don't even want to think along these lines at all.  Time to say goodnight.  And yeah, Time Stand Still is unwatchable.

Time Stand Still came to mind first as well.

I think you meant bad video for a great song

I think that's just British humor.

Me? There's not a video for which I would like the band or its music any less. The one for Yes - "Everydays" looks really abominable, though. That's not the Yes I want people to know.

How about Pendragon's `Saved By You'?! Very cheesy video, but the song always makes me smile, and I actually really like their `Kowtow' album the song is from - a cool mix of new-wave, pop and prog, rather good!

I have found it very funny, both the song and the video. I remember ti have laughed a lot the first time I watched it on TV. It was about 1977. It's a joke and has to be taken as a joke in the vein of Gong instead of Soft Machine.
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Iguana! I LOVE IT lol!!

Man, that singer is wired in the `improvised movement' sections!!

But that song is full of some great proggy bits all through the song, kind of cool lol!

They kind of sounded like a more bent version of Saga or something!

Me too. It's not that bad. It may not be the Genesis we used to know, but I think it's good fun.
