| This looks like a joke poll. Johnny B Goode was not even around during this time. Geena Davis was born in '56, so she was a baby then and did not know Miles. Jazz music is also not progressive rock because it jazzes out and not rocks out(unless if its fusion), and also because a lot of it is filled with improvised jamming. |

Gotta give it to Miles. He almost singlehandedly kept the prog flame alive during the 1950's. These may not all be prog... The Modern Jazz Quartet - Fontessa Chico Hamilton Quintet - Chico Hamilton Quintet in Hi Fi Hal McKusick Octet - In a Twentieth-Century Drawing Room The Ahmad Jamal Trio - The Ahmad Jamal Trio Bob Romeo, His Flute and the Jungle Sextet - Music to Play in the Dark Eartha Kitt - Thursday's Child Buddy Collette - Tanganyika Erroll Garner - Concert by the Sea Les Baxter - Tamboo! John Jacob Niles - Sings American Folk Songs |

I see one non-Miles 'prog' album on the site from that year Alain Goraguer - Go-Go-Goraguer I guess he's on here for his 1973 album La Planete Sauvage

I wish this was about favourite prog albums of 1955, then I could have suggested In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra which is touted as one of the first concept albums. ------------- "And now...on the drums...Mick Underwooooooooood!!!" "He's up the pub" |
