Desert Island- 5 Non-Prog

[zumacraig]

A lot of the rock album choices in this threads were "proggy" to me (for ex: to moi, Ladyland is proggy, so are some of those Bowie albums), and since I'm really not into "pure pop" music, soooooo that's why I choose to go "pure jazz" in my list on the second post.of this thread

It' tough to do, we're all steeped in the prog stuff :-). I really dig classic singer/songwriter stuff and the alt. country stuff. After that, it's pretty much all proggy.

Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Bowie - Ziggy
Beatles - Abbey Road
Deep Purple - Machine Head
Tears for Fears - Song From the Big Chair

Lessee...trying to avoid anything vaguely "proggy"...


...I'm stumped.

I excluded XTC, Deerhoof, Wire, Kate Bush, Brian Eno and many others that I consider Prog, even if some do not.

Let's make it fair by picking just one for each music form:

1) Beethoven - The Symphonies (BPO - Karajan)
2) Dave Brubeck - Time Out
3) Black Sabbath - Vol 4
4) Andrea Bocelli - Romanza
5) Los Kjarkas - Desde El Alma De Mi Pueblo
6) Astor Piazzolla - La Camorra_La Soledad De La Provocacion Apasionada

Spock's Beard - SNOW (go ahead - convince me that the album where they sound like The Rolling Stones is a prog album)
Genesis - Duke
Mott The Hoople - Mad Shadows
King Crimson - Red
Yes - Talk

Hey, I've read a hundred times on this board about these albums NOT being prog. I pay attention....
