Thread: Songs worth the price of the album NOT by a prog band but for prog lovers

  1. #1

    Songs worth the price of the album NOT by a prog band but for prog lovers

    Take "El Bicho" a Spanish world/flamenco/Fusion/rock band. They do a bit of everything.

    La Suite, a 14 minutes piece is a standout, worth the price of the album ( to my ears)

    Any recommendations ?

    Isn't this just a variation on 'Prog songs by non-prog artists'?
    The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off

    Telegraph Road, Dire Straits. 14 minute masterpiece. That's long enough for prog.

    I was thinking that too.

    My vote goes to "white punks on dope" by the Tubes. "Up from the deep" is just as proggy and from the same album(self titled debut by the Tubes). Most people don't consider the Tubes to be prog so there you go.

    "Carosalmbra" from Led Zeppelin's "In through the Outdoor" also comes to mind.

    Not really, I am referring to a song so good that will make you buy the album.

    I bought an album by a band called "lake" just for one song, Between the lines.

    There are a few more tunes in the vein of " la suite" , overall a great album but there songs that seem out of place at times, andaluz rock, world music etc.

    Good call. Certainly one of the Dead's best albums all the way around.

    Much of the early Allman Brothers catalog comes to mind, as does early Chicago. Deep Purple, Joni Mitchell in her jazz period, Brecker Brothers.
