ATTENTION PLEASE!

Thanks to EVERYONE for making our move here such a resounding success! :thup: We even have a poll at last!

However, the amazing response to this thread does take up a lot of bandwidth, which needs to be paid for...so PLEASE take the time to click on just one of our google ads every day!
Takes 10 seconds to let it load, read it...then click back to MOT. This really DOES help keep our site costs down.

Thank you! :thup:

As I posted above...WHICH Genesis? Unless you considered them both to be prog rock? In which case, OK!

Genesis after Gabriel were a glorified pop band, so you can assume it's whilst Gabriel was still around

This could be over by Sunday evening & we can begin another poll - quick turnover eh Faaip

Predictable Top 2 from '64 in the Wolds, have albums by the majority of nominees, so difficult where to allocate my points

5 pts - Wally
4 pts - Wishbone Ash
3 pts - Pink Floyd
2 pts - Caravan
1 pt - Yes

Just watching a re-run of Later/Jools to see what the Drive By Truckers are all about & to my surprise the legendary soul legend Bobby Womack is doing an acoustic number on my screen, the man is a genius

No holding back or rigging going on here Faaip, there'll be plenty of those shanannigans going on next Thursday

Come on the underdog

[1964white]

Crimson, Softs, Floyd, Caravan got off to a good start

Only own 2 Crimson albums but rarely play them thesedays, have another listen this week-end

[1964white]

No points for the most extravagant noodlers of Prog Rock - Emerson, Lake & Palmer :shoot:

Never bought their vinyl, have no cd's on my shelves

Would send me to insanity if i had to listen to Mr Flash twiddling on his keyboards

Years ago the genre was known as Progressive rock, now it has been shortened to Prog rock. Has the definition of Progressive or Prog rock changed over the decades.

Wiki has Man down as Progressive rock

As for Wally you are right they are not purely a Prog band as there albums contain different genres

The Martyr, To The Urban Man & The Reason Why are most definitely Prog

Sunday Walking Lady & Nez Perze are Soft rock

Surfing is Reggae/Rap - nah, more of an Otway style stream of consciousness

She Said & I Just Wannaa be a Cowboy are Country

Sister Moon & Till The Thrill Is Gone are just Rock as are many of their songs

Defining Wally is very difficult but they have recorded 40 minutes over 3 songs of Prog i hope Faaip will give them the benefit of doubt - btw none of the songs on their new album Montpellier are Prog - I'd put a vote in for Sailor, definite prog overtones

Wow - This thread is moving on a pace.

So while I catch up on the 7 pages since my last viewing, may I point you in the direction of the most frustrating prog band of recent years. They produced the most exciting debut album (for me) since the 70's in "Seven". They don't want to sell their albums, they don't want publicity, they just want to play - which is most discouraging for me. All of a sudden, they are all over Youtube, and Amazon is stocking their back catalogue. May I introduce you to Magenta, and the delectable and pure sound of Christina Booth.

Back in a while, when I've caught up.

Really enjoyed the Magenta you sent me. Magpie music at its best
