10/10 prog songs

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I'm trying very hard but pretty much everything I am bringing to mind that I love either isn't prog (IMO) or has some number of rough edges (IMO) or else some big picture compositional problem (IMO) that prevents me from declaring it perfect (IMO). 
I suppose I will interpret "nearly perfect (IMO)" as being good enough to qualify for a 10.

Starless - King Crimson
The ConstruKction of Light - King Crimson
Dinosaur - King Crimson
Amarok - Mike Oldfield
Wish House - Locust Leaves
Prosper - Locust Leaves
From Silence to Somewhere - Wobbler
Foxlight - Wobbler
Almost surely something from Änglagård's Hybris but I can't remember which song is which.

	Instead of the usual popular prog bands, of which it would take me a long time to compile a list (it's a lot easier giving a song a 10 than an album), here's a list of some lesser known/unusual stuff I would give a 10... (I'm purposely excluding things like Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes, Porcupine Tree, Spock's Beard, i.e., more well known prog bands) (and this is not a complete list; just some stuff I randomly pulled out of some Google docs where I keep track of things I listen to and rate) Electric Light Orchestra --New World Rising --Daybreaker Gong --Master Builder --A Sprinkling of Clouds Henry Cow --Ruins --Upon Entering the Hotel Adlon --Beautiful as the Moon - Terrible as an Army with Banners --1/2 the Sky Yezda Urfa --Boris and His 3 Verses (including Flow Guides Aren't My Bag) John Greaves, Peter Blegvad, and Lisa Herman --Nine Mineral Emblems Quill --Sursum Corda, First Movement This Heat --Horizontal Hold --Makeshift Swahili Present --Le poison qui rend fou, Pt. 1: Ram Ram va faire "Pif Paf" --The Limping Little Girl --Souls for Sale --Rêve de fer --Vertiges --Jack the Ripper Thinking Plague --Love --Consolamentum --The Underground Stream --Lux Lucet Primus --The Pressman --Hamburger Train Kurt Rongey --Petrograd Ruins --Graviyaunosch --Thrive KBB --Hatenaki Shoudou --Another Episode The Science Group --Dance of the Arguments --Tractate Ahvak --Vivisektia Far Corner --Silly Whim --With One Swipe of Its Mighty Paw --Fiction --Do You Think I'm Spooky? --Creature Council Guapo --Five Suns, Part 2 Koenjihyakkei --Tziidall Raszhisst --Rattims Friezz --Grahbem Jorgazz --Angherr Shisspa Retroheads --Rainy Day Upsilon Acrux --Who's Running Sh*t (Son Of Destiny's Child) --Expiration Date (Alaska, My Darkness) --Touched By God (Inappropiately) --In-a-Gadda-DeVito --Transparent Seas (Radio Edit) The Red Masque --The Anti-Man (Not Afraid) Traumhaus --Hinaus --Kein Zurck Willowglass --Argamasilla --The Labyrinth Neom --Arkana Temporis, Act 1, Part 4 Syzygy --Vanitas Zevious --Glass Tables Glass --Quest --Edge London Underground --Honey Drops Il Tempio delle Clessidre --Danza esoterica di datura
