Prog Rock?

[tonyfromalnwick]

Would you describe Tangerine Dream as a prog rock band. They were canny. And Focus.

I'm more into the modern prog rock like Dream theatre and Steve Wilson but I really like Rush.

Three great bands/artists there. Absolutely love Rush.

Saw them at City Hall in the 70s. Van Leer was crackers.

shite music for 40 year old + virgins and bairns

Who would you recommend then?

Liked some of it. Genesis "Nursery Cryme", Yes "Fragile", Jethro Tull "Aqualung". Like any genre has it's good & bad.

Can't see how Aqualung qualifies in any way as prog rock. Thick as a Brick or Passion Play maybe, but after a bluesy start Tull became more or less a genuine rock band with some folky influences.

Amon Duul, Van Der Graaf Generator, the Planet Gong. It was a pretty broad church musically at its height.

Fair point. They were one of those bands that tended to get lumped in with Prog. As you rightly say, there was a lot more to them.

if you were a 14 year old in 69 with a litre of cider and a battery operated cassette on Tunstall Hill fields accompanied by a little spinner from Hendon like i was then you'd have understood

Saw them 5 years ago. He still is !

I picked and choosed. Couldn't get into Yes but loved Genesis but what I think I enjoyed most was the influence that spread from prog music. Some mentioned already but also the likes of Tull and Rush....Zep and Sabbath. Loads of bands weren't progressive as such but a generation did feed off it.

Amon Duul, Van Der Graaf Generator, the Planet Gong. It was a pretty broad church musically at its height.

These 3 bands are the pinnacle of prog. Gong turned me onto so much other stuff like the whole canterbury scene, Steve Hillage, Caravan, etc. And Amon Duul II opened up the world of krautrock with Can, Neu and Harmonia. I no longer smoke hash but they turned me on to that as well.

 

[heroesof73]

Hawkwind done some great stuff.

fecking strobe lighting on when you were trying to see the dancers tits

Hawkwind done some great stuff.

I got a warning from the mods for putting up an "artistic" photo of Stacia their 70's dancer. She was the owner of a cracking set of tits.

"File under Progressive" was what record shops (ask your dad) used to do with anything by long-haired musicians. We didn't have so many categories and sub-categories then.
