I introduced the first song by GNIDROLOG
Title: A Dog with No Collar
Artist: Gnidrolog
Album: Lady Lake
Released: 1972
The song is very sad & lonely!!!
Lyrics:
Sightless am I, cadaver born.
By critics pen my task is torn.
Remanents that once were principles
Now but rags in a paupers tomb.
Now but rags in a paupers tomb.
Now but rags in a paupers tomb.
I hope you'll join us

1970
Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?
also 1970 and Rocks even harder! ... progressively speaking of course

Heavy & psychedelic.
That's not prog.
Sorry, couldn't resist
This was made by Prog God. Certified.

yeah... I was looking at all the progressive artists using Rock music elements in 1970 and couldn't find anything that sounded like it was aping CTTE or SEBTP, (which we all know is the *only* way something can be called prog) oh well

Prog?
Very jazzy. Like
Abstract Truth were even promoted as (not "prog" but) progressive rock back then - so yeah. Good band, btw.

Released 15 April 1976
Genre Progressive rock
Lyrics
Searching for diamonds in a sulphur mine,
leaning on props that are rotten,
hoping for anything, looking for a sign
that I am not forgotten.
Lost in a labyrinth of future mystery,
tracing my steps, all mistaken,
trusting to everything, praying it can be
that I am not forsaken.
I wait by the door, wondering
when you will come and keep me warm;
I pray for the end of the night,
hoping the light will still the storm
which presently entraps me:
helpless sea-monster stranded on the shore,
marooned in an ecstasy of waiting,
I yearn, although knowing that I shall dive
no more in the tide already racing.
My lungs burst to cry: "Finally
how could you leave me here to die?
I freeze in the chill of this place
with no friendly face to smile goodbye -
how could you let it happen?"
How could you let it happen?
Dreams, hopes and promises,
fragments out of time,
all of these things ahve been spoken...
still you don't understand how it feels
when I'm waiting for them to be broken
Great lyric, reminds me this fragment by one Joyful Noise (I think -- not the Xian band though)
The sky
The trees
The wind
The sea
There was something I'm sure
I was going to be
(...)
I can't think of any "great prog songs of the 60's and 70's" that the rest of you would not already be familiar with, perhaps overly so. You probably know Nights in White Satin, for example.
But somehow I think the idea of the OP was to have folks post "generally far less known stuff that you like". You *DO* have certain thangs in Your Collection that you may suspect of being a bit off-centre, right?

That is great, you know this is a Prog site when someone asks if you have thangs in your collection that may be a bit off center!! Too funny when you think about that statement. Any 'Normal' music fan would think all this stuff is a bit off centerYOU got to love it!!
Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.
Drum solos are boring!
