Another chance to assemble your ideal prog compilation with the second in the Now That's What I Call Prog series, where you get to choose 20 prog classics by 20 different artists, not necessarily picking your favourite songs, but choosing popular songs that are most likely to appeal to a wider audience as well as songs that best represent that year in prog-rock. So what's it going to be?

I love Jacky's White Horses too, although I'd forgotten that was also the title of the TV show, which I'm just old enough to remember. Smile

I should have included this really. Although not considered as such, it kind of is progressive rock

I considered both of those (it was really between a trio of songs by USA), and now I don't understand why I ended up not including them.

Hi,

Heard all these in the FM dial in Madison at the time. Those were the days when you heard a lot of new stuff ... PLAYED ... instead of just listed. And as mentioned before, these were in STEREO, instead of the older AM radio that was MONO ... thus making the music a lot better for your ears. 

[/quote]
...
The Mothers of Invention - Absolutely Free
Fleetwood Mac - Albatross
Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band - I'm The Urban Spaceman 
Manfred Mann - Mighty Quinn 
The Rolling Stones - Jumpin' Jack Flash
Steppenwolf - Magic Carpet Ride
Richard Harris - MacArthur Park
...
[/quote]

These were also in that FM listing.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
