Topic: Threads by David - a lot of good stuff!Posted By: David_D
Subject: Threads by David - a lot of good stuff!
Date Posted: September 09 2022 at 02:27
I've got the idea for making this blog with an overview of and links to about all the threads I've started,
as there's a lot of good stuff out there. I'll also comment here a bit my new threads, and you're very
welcomewith your comments as well.
Containing an overview of and links to threads about:
Progressive Rock as a meta-genre in general
Top lists and else about sub-genres of progressive music
Geographical top lists of progressive music
Chronological top lists of progressive music
Other top lists of progressive music
Progressive music's culture
Top lists of non-progressive music or mixed genres
Chronological top lists of non-progressive music
Geographical top lists of all genres
Single artist threads
Non-music threads
Others threads I'd like to recommend
I use here the term "progressive music" as a short form of "Progressive Rock and Prog-related music".
Enjoy it!
P.S. Paul, I think that might be a very good idea for you, as well!

This sounds like my kind of blog, although I already have my hands full with my Prog Britannia blog, not to mention one or two other blogs too. I'm listening to Terry Oldfield right now, and for anyone who thinks he's a soporific New Age artist, then have a listen to his magnificent 5-star debut:-

as Prog nation, I've got a very good idea for a thread about Germany and Italy, and maybe another thread about USA.

Yes, but the basis for the new thread(s) will be the top lists I've made. So, I mention you only as inspiration.

I've prepared a thread about reasons for Germany's and Italy's less success in post-70's Prog, but I guess that it's
a too difficult topic.

My new thread, https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=130306" rel="nofollow - The Best Progressive Rock Band of The '60s? , has been a very good experience.
Paul, I'll think about which of your threads I'd like to recommend here in this blog of mine, and I might even make
a little section for your threads.

We got so much overlap, that I'll list the albums that I don't know/love/ or own.
Clearlight (F) - Clearlight Symphony (1975)
Ange (F) - Au-dela du Delire (1974)
That's it. I'm not familiar with these two. I'll listen to them this weekend on Youtube.

That's quite incredible, Cindy, and I even guess, I've never seen such overlap before - which makes me really glad.
Then, I can't imagine otherwise than these two albums will be at least a nice new acquaintance for you. Anyway, they're some of the pearls of French Progressive Rock all-time.
Thank you very much for this reply of yours!

Very nice with this interest of yours, Cindy, so here's a list of my entire but very small Danish music collection
- all albums more or less Danish classics.
Prog
Ache (DK) - De Homine Urbano(1970, quite interesting Prog-historically and an example of rare Danish Symphonic)
Bazaar (DK) - Bazaar Live(1978, Prog Folk with East European, Turkish and Middle East influences)
Burnin’ Red Ivanhoe (DK) - W.W.W.(1971, one of the most internationally appreciated Danish Prog bands)
Secret Oyster (DK) - Sea Sun (1974, my absolutely fave Danish band since high school)
Sievert & Tolonen (DK) - After Three Days(1978, Jazz Fusion with Latin and other influences)
Non-Prog or not quite
Before (DK) - A Wish of Life(1982, amazing lo-fi Post-Punk, strongly influenced by The Doors)
Bifrost (DK) - Bifrost(1976, very melodic Folk-Rock, Danish vocals)
Gnags (DK) - X (1983, reggish New Wave, Danish vocals)
Kliche (DK) - Okay Okay Boys (1982, New Wave/Art Pop with distinct, Danish vocals)
Kræn Bysted (DK) - Stavnsbundet (1980, very political Folk-Rock, Danish vocals)
Mercyful Fate (DK) - Melissa(1983, Heavy Metal, probably the most internationally appreciated and innovative
Danish album, Satanic English vocals)
Savage Rose (DK) - Dødens Triumf (1972, ballet soundtrack, very special female vocalist, one of Paul's loves)
Sh*t & Chanel (DK) - Shit & Chanel(1975, all-female very nice, soft, non-complex Jazz-Rock with Danish vocals)
Sort Sol (DK) - Glamourpuss(1993, quite straight Alternative Rock)
I hope, you can find something you like there.

As a general rule for the threads in Progressive Music Lounges, I'd like people to keep the PA rule which says:
"Prog Music lounge
This section is for general discussions about Progressive music. Unless and until an artist is included in Prog Archives, they are not considered to be "prog". In other words, discussions in "Prog Music Lounge" should only be about groups/music currently included in Prog Archives, or about progressive music in general. "
