 Topic: Prog track titles which incorporate namesPosted: April 01 2025 at 06:32 |

MANY late 60's UK pop/popsikes had tracks including names, like Postman Mike or Rosemary Rose or Mr Small.
There does not seem to be much prog doing this. Can you think if such? (We are talking song titles, not band names.) ......... Barclay James Harvest - Vanessa Simmons Fairport Convention - crazy man Micheal Kin Ping Meh - Mrs Holmes Strawbs - Jenny O'Brian Strawbs - Lawrence Brown Streetmark - Eleanor Rigby Al Stewart - Warren Harding (Dylan - John Westly Harding - okay, not prog) Black Widow - Mary Clark Nuova Era - Mr. E. Jones Caravan - Cecil Quiet World - Mr Whittington |

I think it's been pretty common in Prog when it comes to Progressive Psych, Canterbury Scene and Progressive Folk and lots of exmaples scattered throughout PA's categories (which does extend beyond traditional or one might say stereo-typical Prog-as-genre music). Swans is one of my favourite bands in PA with links to experimental rock, folk, and post-rock amongst other things. It's in PA under Post-Rock. Here are tracks with names in the titles: "Mona Lisa, Mother Earth" (The Burning World, 1989) "Jane Mary, Cry One Tear" (The Burning World, 1989) "Jim" (My Father Will Guide Me Up a Rope to the Sky, 2010) "Inside Madeline" (My Father Will Guide Me Up a Rope to the Sky, 2010) "Just a Little Boy (For Chester Burnett)" (To Be Kind, 2014) "Bring the Sun / Toussaint L'Ouverture" (To Be Kind, 2014) "Kirsten Supine" (to be Kind, 2014) "Nathalie Neal" (To Be Kind, 2014) "Frankie M" (The Glowing Man, 2016) "Annaline' (leaving meaning., 2019) "Michael Is Done" (The Beggar, 2023) |

Wołanie o Brzęk Szkła by SBB is a unique case. One of its reissues (entitled Slovenian Girls) replaces the tracks' long tongue twistery Polish titles with girls' names.
