I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Nightwish yet. Their current singer Floor Jansen is out of this world. They are often labelled as "Symphonic Metal" but much of their material is pure prog to these...

But wait, there's more!

And before Flaming Youth Phil was in a band called Freehold. They cut a single which Phil wrote, sang...

Now that Daevid Allen is gone, I suppose somebody has to!

I really did not like this album when it first came out, but I am starting to appreciate it much more now. Nice pop songs with great hooks and melodies. Luke Spiller's vocals are great. He really...

Let's not forget the current lineup of Nektar with Mo Moore and Randy Dembo, and I suppose we should mention Tony Levin's Stick Men. Also, Tony Levin and Danny Thompson both played bass on "No Way...

While on the subject of Deep Purple, you may want to check out Strange Kind of Women, an Italian all-female Deep Purple tribute band. They are all accomplished musicians who play in various bands in...

Excellent interview. Major announcement at the 51:00 mark!

According to Wikipedia, Renaissance had 37 members.

Gong had 52, but there are more, if you include members of Pierre Moerlen's...

I've had pretty good luck creating a radio station based on Gentle Giant.

I will be airing an exclusive interview with Patrick Moraz tonight at 10:00 PM Eastern time. This interview was recorded prior to a private performance in August 2018. Patrick talks about his early...

Ironically, the only member of Yes not being credited is Rick Wakeman, and it is his keyboard part being sampled! He was not credited for writing anything on the fragile album due to his contract...

OK, here's mine: King Crimson at Toad's Place, New Haven, CT November 16, 2003, a performance that was subsequently released as King Crimson Collector's Club Vol. 44.

Here is the incident as...

John, care to post a few sample questions?

This album is also a personal favorite of mine. Clearly one of Hammill's most personal statements.

I also find it interesting how the individual songs seem to loosely correspond with the five...

If it is a studio recording of Zess, why do they need a guest drummer? Christian could play the drums and overdub the vocals. Not rocket science. If Magma have to record an older piece, I would have...

Thanks! Apparently it's on the CD but nowhere to be found on the DVD. I wish they had included the whole song.

The song "A Town in England" does not appear to be included, though there are lyrics and a description of the song in the booklet, and it is listed in the track list at the beginning of this thread....

Since VDGG's Godbluff album has been mentioned twice, I'll add that I have always loved the way that The Undercover Man so smoothly segues into Scorched Earth, setting the mood for a very different...

I once ordered the Beatles Mono box set from Ebay. As soon as I opened it, I knew something was wrong. The individual album cover reproductions were inserted in various directions, instead of being...

Another vote for Minimum Vital here!

The topic of Colin McEnroe show today on WNPR, Hartford, CT was, you guessed it, Prog rock. Guests included David Weigel, The author of The Show That Never Ends: The Rise and Fall of Prog Rock, and...

Gustav Holst's Mars, Bringer of War from The Planets suite.

Pretzel Logic!:lol

Genesis tour: Wind and...

Best heavy metal album ever!:roll

Amen to that!:lol

Just about anything Dave Stewart did in the 70's was fantastic. Here are a few that stand out for me:

Egg: A Visit to Newport Hospital - The organ sound during the intro and outro is like nothing...

I saw U2 on May 8, 1983 performing a free afternoon concert on the campus of Trinity College in Hartford, CT. This show was intended for students only, but news of it spread through word of mouth,...

To put this in serious perspective, my issue is not with this thread, nor is it with the long running community activity.

It is with the fact that a subject that has nothing to do with music or...

I have been the co-host of a progressive rock radio show called the Greatest Show from Earth which airs Sunday nights at 9:00 PM on WWUH, West Hartford, CT for the last 30 years. I am on the first...

Is there any chance of releasing a DVD of DFA's performance from NEARFest 2009? There were some clips of it in the first Romantic Warriors documentary which made me want to see more. It would be an...

The mellotron is featured on the intro to Cross Eyed Mary.

Toad the Wet sprocket had two: Coil, and..... Fear!

Present from Nearfest 2005. One of the most intense performances I have ever seen in my life.

I have an extra third row ticket available for tonight's Steve Hackett show in Fairfield, CT. I will sell at face value of $75. Please PM me if interested.

Three words: Hand.Cannot.Erase

I saw Yes for the first time on June 19, 1976 at Colt Park in Hartford, CT. It was the "Solos" tour with Patrick Moraz on keyboards. Me and approximately 30,000 others. At the time, it was the...

Still hard to believe that Daevid is gone. The world is a sadder place.

Pretty ironic that this:

Tonight's Greatest show from Earth on 91.3 WWUH-FM West Hartford will be inspired by the recent thread on the main page entitled "Greatest prog songs by non-prog bands". I will be featuring some of...

A most interesting thread so far. I have decided to do a radio show inspired by this thread. See separate post in the OT forum for more info.

Another vote for Marathon.

Also liking The Body Electric lately.

This will be my first Rosfest, though I've been to 10 Nearfests. I'm thoroughly looking forward to it, and hoping to see some friends from Nearfest. One question: Are there vendor rooms at Rosfest...

I was at this show as well, and generally enjoyed it, but I have to say I was somewhat disappointed with the set list. For starters, I was not overly impressed with the new album. Don't get me...

Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells and Ommadawn have been mentioned here, but I have always found Hergest Ridge Part 1 to be his most peaceful, pastoral work.

Actually, I think it's pretty funny.
