Actually, Angalgard's Hybris is one of my favorite "newer" albums (I know referring to an album that came out in 1992 as "new" might be odd, but bear with me
 ). I'm also a fan of Tool, Porcupine Tree and Apocalyptica (on occasion). Par Lindh's Middle-earth compositions (The Dark Cave, etc.) are excellent. There's a release with Par and Steve Hackett and an Italian musician named Lo Muscio that I'd like to hear. Have you heard it yet? |

Nicely written, once again, Dark Elf. I loved seeing all of the Tull (my favorite band) and The Decemberists and Comus were excelent surprises. The things that the guitarists do on that record are phenomenal! Its dissonant, its ugly, its scary, disturbing, and beautiful all at once. |

I've added a second article on the epic song in rock music "50 More Great Epic Rock Songs" (not merely progressive rock, but the entire rock genre) here:
The first article "50 Great Epic Songs" was posted back in August, 2010, and it continues to receive a huge number of hits:
So, evidently, based on the hits and the e-mail requests I've received, this continues to be a hot topic on the 'net.
Enjoy and, as always, your comments are welcome!

Hello, all you proggers! You may be interested to read the latest installment over at The Dark Elf File: The Greatest Rock Albums of the 1960s, Part I... Here are the first 30 releases in a planned 60 album article. I will be doing the same for the 1970s and 1980s. With the argumentative bunch here on PA, I am sure there will be disagreements. But what the hell, I am more than up for it!

I was recently in a Men's Warehouse and heard a song with the lyrics "I Want an Alien for Christmas". You should look that one up, because it's pretty awful... Edited by Zombywoof - December 10 2011 at 18:41 |

The Fountains of Wayne song? Meh, it's not that terrible. It's sort of funny if you read the lyrics. It just not the very height of terribleness. I can't see it being more dreadful than the ones I listed. But then, there's always next year's edition.

Back by popular demand over on the Dark Elf File... Thirteen More Great Blues Cover Songs
I get a little more in-depth regarding the history of the covers of the blues originals, then the covers of the covers, and sometimes even the covers of the covers already covered! |

My latest installment on The Dark Elf File is...drum roll please... Son of Psychedelicide! 69 More Great Songs from the Psychedelic Age: http://darkelffile.blogspot.com/2012/04/son-of-psychedelicide-69-more-great.html Of course, there are several hits from the era, but I've dug up some interesting stuff, a goodly part of it even prog-related (like Aphrodite's Child, Hawkwind, Gong, Soft Machine, Procol Harum, Floyd and Tull). And some good old rarities from H.P. Lovecraft, Morgen, The 13th Floor Elevators, Axe and The United States of America, as well as some of the rock roots of psychedelia from The Ramrods, The Safaris and Dick Dale (Syd Barrett's main influence on Interstellar Overdrive).Edited by The Dark Elf - April 16 2012 at 23:48 |
