What prog-related, prog-esque, or overlooked prog bands/artists should have a place in PA?
My picks: John Coltrane(Jazz/Rock Fusion) Gary Numan(Prog-Related) Grateful Dead(Psychedelic/Space Rock or Prog-Related) |

The Grateful Dead, The Tubes and XTC. GD for space/psych and the others for prog related or crossover. It won't happen for any of them though.

Two and three absolutely. But when did ever Coltrane fuse his jazz with anything rock? Well, I know his music more than well enough to answer that myself: Never. -While Miles took notes and listened to what his younger bandmembers and girlfriends were into (around the time of Coltrane's untimely passing) and added funk & rock grooves into his gradually more electrified jazz. -Post his 1965-album A Love Supreme, Coltrane spent the two last years of his life going even further out into the spiritual side of avant-garde/free jazz. Always sticking to the acoustic standard jazz "instrument park". The story of jazzfusion had hardly begun in 1967. And while he (as many of the 1960's jazz greats) inspired many outside of the jazz field, he's merely a footnote in the "makings of" this particular story.

Yes, after I've finally gotten around to dig into their music post Pet Sounds (which by all means is relevant in this context, but I was never the biggest fan), I now understand what all the fuzz is about. I kind of love them by now. Apart from their near-masterpiece Surf's Up, I find most of their albums to be quite patchy. But I could say the same about The Beatles really. And Beach Boys feels just as relevant for Prog-Related as them.

Only a personal opinion: DEVO - influential to some Avant bands like Cardiacs IMO |

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Chick Corea for his solo work. Yes RTF and Elektric Band are in PA. However, if Davis, Shorter, and Hancock have a place on PA so should Chick.
Oh, and Freak Kitchen also. Edited by Grumpyprogfan - May 24 2023 at 05:36 |

Progressive and psychedelic Jazz, maybe? One could say that McCoy Tyner could have some rock in his 70's album. Ditto for Alice.

I've often wondered why Angel is not represented on this site. Based on their first two albums, I would think they'd have a place here somewhere.

I thought you were going to feature Edward (The Mad Shirt Grinder) Nicky Hopkins brought quite a progressive slant to the original quartet.
Albums like What About Me and Comin' Thru are also fairly proggy at times... and their best-known album Happy Trails is probably the least "proggy" - though even Maiden Moon & Calvary are quite interesting (as in something else but Diddley-jamming) And QMS have got the best series of album artwork =============== I'd also like to see Paul Kantner's three albums (Empires Strikes Back, Sun Fighter and Baron Von Tollbooth & The Chrome Nun) with Grace Slick (and Freiberg) on PA, someday . That's about as prog as Jefferson Airplane got (instead of Hot Tune) Grace Slick's first two solo albums are really good and proggy (Man Hole is awesome, Dreams is still good) . .

I personally never cared for The Beach Boys but they do definitely deserve a spot in PA.

Great suggestions by everyone.
I'd like to see Paul Kantner (Baron von Tollbooth) and Grace Slick (The Chrome Nun) on Prog Archives too, alongside Jefferson Starship and Quicksilver Messenger Service - in my Dreams!
