In the world of prog, what are some examples of group names, album names or song titles that have a specific color in them?
There must be a fair number of them. Below is just a partial list, starting off with what must be the most obvious example. Group Names Pink Floyd Black Widow Song Titles Black Snake-Atomic Rooster Album Titles Green Desert-Tangerine Dream Red-King Crimson Starless and Bible Black-King Crimson Sky Blue-Passport Blue Eyed Boys-Wallenstein |

Can't forget to include King Crimson in group names! Or One More Red Nightmare and the title track of Red in the song list. Then there are also the albums/songs Crimson by Edge of Sanity and Blackwater Park by Opeth from the metal side of prog. |
