 Topic: Top 10 Most "Touching" Prog Songs
Posted: December 14 2007 at 19:13 |
|
I am a man who enjoys music that is so overtly mindblowing that I can not help but have my heart touched by the sheer emotion; so, i am interested to find out what others consider to be some of the most emotionaly beautiful prog songs out there. Mine would be:
1. Close to Edge - Yes, a clear victor
2. Supper's Ready - Genesis, I don't mean to be cliche but it is impossible to resist
3. The Cinema Show - Genesis, overwhelming to say the least
4. Appena un Po' - PFM, Per un Amico is an incredibly touching album
5. Islands - King Crimson, it always gets me
6. Hamburger Concerto - Focus
7. Histoire sans paroles - Harmonium
8. Dryad of the woods - Pain of Salvation
9. And You and I - Yes
10. Thick As A Brick Pt. 1 - Jethro Tull
Clearly there are many more, but these are some of the best.

Arguably.
(At least as much as all the metal, IMO.)
But then, WTF is this "prog" you speak of?
