Yup, this old atheist couldn't help himself
But albums like Lorca, Happy Sad, and Starsailor are definitely proggy in my book.
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
Grace is kinda, too. Not to mention, Jeff did a cover of Back In NYC by Genesis.Yup, this old atheist couldn't help himself

Would not be easier to list prog rockers who are still alive ?
Marginally prog: (besides Ed Cassidy) there's John Locke and Randy California of Spirit

Looking forward to my day in court.
Mike Baker of Shadow Gallery. And what about the member of Rennaisance that recently passed? Can't recall his name.
Helmut Kollen of Triumvirat.
I was coming here to mention him, easily one of my all-time favorite prog singers gone way too soon.
All the Uriah Heepers: David Byron, Gary Thain, Trevor Boulder
Midnight (Crimson Glory).
I have that "I don't know what I got myself into" feeling. But, I am going through with organizing this YouTube video anyhow. You people are amazing and fantastic with your knowledge. Very daunting! But, I'm trying to keep this video at minutes! There is no way that I can get all the names in with their pictures. In fact, some of these folks mentioned pictures are almost impossible to find because some of the names are rather obscure. So, I have had to make some decisions. I want to keep this video strictly prog-rock/art-rock. Jazz fusion may have to be ommited, but not Weather Report! Prog-Metal is a tough one, because I think I am going to keep the focus on the folks who made progressive Rock in the late 60's and 70's. Sorry, but I can't make this video the equivilant of a double album by Yes. I think I have all the names needed. Now I am beginning the work and it will probably take a long week to squeeze the work in. I'm not exactly reinventing anything, I just felt really sad that many of my heroes have passed in recent years, and the next 5 years is going to be even harder. I may have to update it every year
John Locke as well????
Though I might have heard of this before.... how ancient is this news???

well, then sadly people like Kevin Gilbert wouldn't be eligible.I have that "I don't know what I got myself into" feeling. But, I am going through with organizing this YouTube video anyhow.

If you include Lars Hollmer, and I hope you do, you might be able to use a quick cut of this awesome DVD performance. I think you can use up to 10 seconds without violating any copyright issues??
2006.John Locke as well????
Though I might have heard of this before.... how ancient is this news???
I have finished the video and posted it. know I have omitted names that some suggested, but the song I used was only 5:00 minutes long. With all the suggestions, that meant I made a top 65 (or so) and that reduced all to only 5 seconds each slide. Maybe I should've used a 7:00 minute song! But, at any rate, I hope you kindly approve. I spent a lot of hours and days on this. It wasn't easy, and at times it was rather emotional, especially with Peter Banks being a great friend of mine. I hope you approve.

I just updated it, so there is a new link. Someone complained that Rhino Reinhardt wasn't included in the titles with the other two late-Iron Butterfly. Honestly, I thought he was a fringe player and iron Butterfly wasn't as "prog rock" as some would say. I thought of them more of a psychedelic rock band. I didn't even include The Doors. Oh well. I could put all the names in! I hope you approve.....

Wow! Really nice work, Nic. Enjoyed it immensely. I'll be watching it again.

Looking forward to my day in court.
Glad to see people add Jim Capaldi, Brett Douglas and Sean Guerin to the list.
Three artists I have always loved.
I still can't believe that Cairo wasn't bigger than it was. Their first and third CD's are always on heavy rotation at my home/car/ipod.
I loved Jim Capaldi's work both as a solo artist as well as Traffic, although most of his solo output would be a stretch to call prog.
Sean Guerin I felt was just hitting his stride with K2 and his solo work.
And off the original list, Kevin Gilbert. Toy Matinee is also on heavy rotation at my house. Last Plane Out is a masterpiece. Plain and simple. Off his Shaming of the True album, "Staring into Nothing" is fantastic.
