Don thy cape, heathen - IT'S A PROG THREAD

[Dandolin]

What, "Zappa-loving Canterbury-inspired blissed-out spiritual jazz rippers?" It'll probably work Tell you what, though, a Delorean is always prog enough

R.E.O. Speedwagon

is not a prog band.

But they contributed abandoned in an Illinois cornfield eventual members of two separate prog bands that were founded on the principle that annoying vocals are the cornerstone of prog. But only one of those bands could have the *most* annoying vocals, taking up the mantle of Family and Comus, and giving Rush a bytoriffic fright (and leaving the other band to fall back on aping Yes mercilessly in a castle on a star).

[Dandolin]

But if there's anything that can salve mine fevered brain with the sweet waters of Nepenthe, it's wah wah envelope-filtered clavinet....

The Bloomsbury People - s/t

Origins of Milwaukee legend Sigmund Snopek III

[Dandolin]

Remembering when: Barclay James Harvest was a poor man's Procol Harum, not a poor man's Moody Blues.

Barclay James Harvest - 'When the World was Woken' from the s/t debut.
(full disclosure: I actually rather like their debut for its blend of wonky fuzzichord psych and proto orchestravia, but not because it is, in any way, original)....

Digesting England by the pound.


Have had odd bits of this seeping into my consciousness all day
