 Topic: Top 10 Non-Prog Bands.Posted: February 09 2021 at 09:12 |

What are your top ten Non-progressive rock bands?
You can pick proto-prog bands since prog wasn't a thing when they started. Here's mine in no particular order:

Not to stir the pot here but...Non-Progressive in what manner? Their PA classification? Many bands I don't consider 'Progressive rock" are still listed on the PA site, including bands like ASIA, Santana or Bowie. While they may display progressive tendencies they aren't PROG IMO. That being said... Thomas Dolby Peter Gabriel Santana Joe Jackson The Who Police Stewart Copland Bowie Billy Joel Led Zeppelin Robert Palmer Queen Saga Sparks Larry Gowan Sweet Supertramp Talking Heads Tomita Tom Waits Stevie Wonder Frank Zappa ...just to name a few ! |

There are way too many of them, even if I go by artists who are not on Progarchives. And then, many of them might be progressive in one way or another.

Wow. In no order:
The Beatles The Who Led Zeppelin REM Black Sabbath U2 The Rolling Stones The Police Styx (not quite prog imo) Pearl Jam Edit: I'm sure I'm forgetting some. In fact after posting this I see the Grateful Dead and the Talking Heads from others lists both of whom I forgot. I also am a big fan of 90's rock so Alice in Chains and Soundgarden(among others) would be bubbling under also.

Yea, I was kind of using the PA classifications for prog bands but there is certainly room for discussion & interpretation for many bands. Nice list BTW.

I'm wondering why this wasn't placed in the non progressive music category(ie other music related lounges). This section is for non music discussion. Not a big deal. Just wondering how it got here.

Here's my Top 10, playing strictly by the rules of the game and listing bands only, with only one British band amongst them - and they're half-American.

My Bad. First I put in the prog lists section by mistake. When I realized it was in the wrong place I meant to move it to the general music section and missed ( I was in a hurry) . Maybe on of the admins will move it for me.

Hmm, there are so many. Apart from the great Fleetwood Mac, I want to focus on folk or world music that others might not know about or even care about

I'll make an attempt and stick to bands (not solo artists) that are not on progarchives (to my knowledge). The Beach Boys (between 1965 and 1967) The Rolling Stones (up to and including Sticky Fingers) The Clash Blur Tv-2 Pom Poko Gnags R.E.M. Madness The Police
