As a typical black sheep (French, Girl, Bad in english, Not only interrested by Prog...) here come my mental peregrinations Start point : today I listen Jon Anderson records But some are not realy prog as "The More You Know" And I couldn't find here any Jon & Vangelis records who are, in my sense very prog... Anderson... And Laurie Anderson (for example Mister Heartbreak) not prog ? Is it experimental, or mongoloļd music ? Why I couln't find : Talk Talk Celtic Prog Music like Gwendal ? And so on...

Hi: Talk Talk is usually a borderline prog group. A friend recently lent me an old cassette, but I really didn't dig into it. I love Gwendal, in my opinion one of the top celtic rock groups. I think their mid-period can and should be considered prog because its jazzy influences. In fact, this band is featured in the GEPR. Someone could really do a whole encyclopedia of much-discussed-prog-or-not bands! Its a recurrent topic in almost EVERY prog forum I'm in or have been.

This and trying to define prog rock. I've heard and read tons of opinions.

Ah yes, Talk Talk A superb '80's band; if anyone wants to find out what they are/were like, I would recommend, 'The Colour Of Spring'.... Dunno if it really comes under the banner of prog, but there are some moments........ especially with Steve Winwood on Hammond.....bliss, sheer bliss -------------  Jon Lord 1941 - 2012 |

HELLO EVERYONE I AM BACK!!! I thought"LIFE'S WHAT YOU MAKE IT" by Talk Talk was one of the great songs from the 80's and although i would not call them a prog band myself i would totally recommend "The Colour Of Spring" as an album purchase("Happiness Is Easy" is a great song from that album)
