Best of Prog Rock...

I've always found the term prog rock a bit of a mystery to be honest.

ELP, Genesis, and Yes are always seen as the vanguard of 70s prog..

But why are Pink Floyd , Queen, Bowie etc not considered prog then ?

Maybe its just all about big keyboards and pretentious 'classical' approach to music.

They were.

Purple were certainly "just rock" usually. They did write the occasional progressive track though.

Kansas were totally prog. Check this out, from the same album as Carry On Wayward Son...




Aha! Meta humour! :lol: I love it.

The thread itself is progressive! :lol::lol:

Looks like the same video as Carry On My Wayward Son, cheap skates.

Fuck the haters.

Following the "Worst Prog Band" thread, I felt we needed a thread to showcase some of the best of Prog Rock.

(I'd say Prog Metal is also admissible, so feel free to chuck in your favourite Dream Theater or Symphony X tracks too. Post Rock, Math Rock and Mathcore all count too. As long as it's a rock subgenre and proggy, get it posted.).

So many great bands, so many great songs, so many different takes on the Prog Rock idea, it's hard to settle on three songs to start the thread off with.

I reckon let's start fairly commercial and well-known, and I'll get "deeper" later in the thread (if it goes well ;) )...

Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son

Deep Purple - Child In Time

Meatloaf - Bat Out Of Hell
