Proggy picks

Ian Anderson... "down in dun ringill....."
Phil Collins "lava's the lover that licks your boots away"
Fish "slainthe mhath"


Non Prog-
Elton John "someone saved my life tonight"
Marvin Gaye "mercy mercy me"
Courtney Love "charity and gratitude
they run to the pines
it’s black in here
blot out the sun
and run to the pines
our misery runs wild and free
and i knew
the fire and the ashes of his grace"

The background harmonies on this song! Clap



The harmonies here:



And the raw emotion of this song...

James Labrie in the middle of "Learning to Live" from "Images and Words."
There are many other wonderful moments of vocal in other music, but for me the best of all is Daniel Gildenlöw at the climax of "Used", the opening track of "The Perfect Element Pt. 1" from Pain of Salvation.

Tim Bowness (No-Man) singing Back when you were beautiful
Frank Zappa, Flakes, the "Take it away Bob" part.
Great Gig In The Sky
Deep Purple, Child In Time
Greg Lake, Jerusalem and Epitaph

That's just off the top of my head.

These prog vocal moments always give me shivers:

Peter Gabriel "...waiting for the winshield on the freeway..."

Peter Hammill "...without a FFAAAAAAAAAACCCEE!!!"

Syd Barrett "...and what exactly is a joke?"

Fish "...set the wedding rings dancing on the cold linoleum..."
