They might be prog related, you never know. They're UK no.1 was an instrumental. I'll look into it - if they're not on PA I think they have a right to be, despite the 80s pop years.

I'll go with Fleetwood Mac as my fifth choice of favourite non-prog band, unless they're on ProgArchives too.

Like w/Paul, my first four choices are already here on PA as prog related or jazz rock (Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Journey, and Chicago) so I will go with an old favorite that pre-dates my prog fandom, and the headliner band at the first concert I ever went to see: Van Halen. OY! Who am I kidding? I love Van Halen, but my real answer is Judas Priest!!!

^ As Mortte said at the top of this page, the Doors are in progarchives in the Proto-Prog category.

Crikey! You mean to say The Doors & Jefferson Airplane have both been here on ProgArchives all the time without me even knowing!? In that case, maybe it's time for me to put together a tribute thread to the music of The Doors. I like the Grateful Dead too, but I guess you already knew that.
It looks like I'll have to pick a fourth favourite "non-prog" band now, seeing as my first three choices are already included in ProgArchives. I would have chosen Tangerine Dream, but I have a feeling that they're already here on PA too. Maybe I have more "prog" in my CD collection than I realised, if The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Santana & Tangerine Dream are all here on ProgArchives.

Really hard to say. I’d have to do one for each genre, and maybe even by decade. Way to hard to narrow down. Let me sleep on it.

Probably the Comsat Angels followed by Pinback. Obviously there are many great ones, and I consciously ignore solo artists here.

I initially chose Santana as my favourite non-prog band, until I discovered they're included in ProgArchives, so I'll choose The Doors and Jefferson Airplane as my second & third favourite non-prog bands.
If we can choose individual artists as well as bands, then my favourite male singer is Chris Rea, and my favourite female singer is Sarah Brightman. Edited by Psychedelic Paul - August 05 2020 at 12:51 |

P J Harvey is my all time favorite artist, but band...well I think it´s Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band. But they´re progarchives...well then the Birthday Party.

As a universal rule, everyone likes the Beatles.
Well, I agree with you, but according to the now defunct magazine Blender, Sting is the worst lyricist of all time. But that's now defunct, which shows you what people really think. Nevertheless, I don't think you'd get on with the editor of Blender, because according to the mag, Neil Peart is the second worst lyricist of all time.

As many have said hard to choose only one.
In the 60's would have been The Beatles (and Stones), 70's Steely Dan and Allman Bros., 80's XTC, 90's got into obscure prog and proto prog and really didn't have a special non prog band... Since 2000....I guess I would say The Beatles again. I never tire of playing their various albums. As I have gotten older I seem to be going back to many old groups.

The Police were IMO, one of the most dynamic bands of that era. They were a supergroup almost, all 3 members coming from other groups to form The Police, and from progressive rock bands. Easily one of the greatest bands ever, the songs they wrote are legendary. Considering their short life together, what they did is brilliance. |
