Loggins and Messina are better than they get credit for, I grew up hearing them around the house.

They have a ton of killer tunes that don't get radio play.

Hated Kenny Loggins ever since Footloose. I'd like to kick off my sunday shoes right into his ass.

Agreed DC. I hate Loggins & Messina just as bad.

Today's Song: Genesis - Supper's Ready
Foxtrot 1972

Ah Foxtrot, great album.

Ok well maybe it's not traditional prog, but here's some of my favorite avant garde/prog metal. If you like Voivod, you'll probably dig em.

An excellent tune from the Nude album.

Another Camel tune:

I love the opening of this song!

I really need to pick up some Camel. I've got Mirage on my want list, it was recommended to me as one of the greatest prog records of all time, so I had to add it to my list at least.

Andy Ward is a very underrated drummer. Moonmadness will ALWAYS be my favorite Camel album and not just because it was the first one I bought. I had heard songs on the radio(yes, the actual airwaves... it was a Sunday night Prog program) and fell in love with it!

Lets get a little Neo-Prog up in here!
Sieges Even - Unbreakable

Starts off primarily a fusion tune, the prog rock starts around the 2:20 mark. Quite an impressive amount of jazz on display here.

Damn, I really need to get that album.

King Crimson - Starless

Listened to this album for the first time today, awesome stuff!

Incredible album & band. If you dig Red, make sure to also get "Lark's Tongue In Aspic" and "Starless & Bible Black" both with the same lineup.

Today's Song



A great band, one of my favorite Prog groups.

In my opinion, the "Big Four" of Prog would be Yes, King Crimson, Van der Graaf Generator, and E.L.P.

Emerson, Lake, & Palmer - Karn Evil 9: 3rd Impression

Okay, I know. I've already had King Crimson on here before, but I don't care.
King Crimson - Lizard

More Crimson is always good.

Never liked that ELP record though, just doesn't appeal to me.

Been on a Rush kick today.
So, today's song is:

Rush - Cygnus X-1: Books One and Two



Someone put together both Cygnus songs on YouTube, and I felt like posting.

And on another note, what are your favorite progressive rock long tracks?

I hear this song and sticks in my head for days!


I chose the live version because it kicks ass!!!!!!!!

Great live clip of Camel performing excerpts from "The Snow Goose" live on the Old Grey Whistle Test, 1975.

I've seen these DVD collections on Amazon from Camel Productions.... I WANT!!!!!!

Today's Song:

Fates Warning - At Fate's Hands



Great instrumental prog after the 3:12 mark.

I used to own that Fates Warning album, haven't heard it since the late 90's. Thanks for the reminder.
