Interstingly DB has picked the exact 12 bands/artists that played in my front garden during the 70's. I drank tea with most of them and Genesis got many of their "light show" ideas from playing with the Big Light in our living room.

All of the above, except the Moody Blews. (Wouldn't really call the former David Jones prog, though....) ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. |

Yes, but also see TONIGHT, YOUNG AMERICANS, LET'S DANCE, STATION TO STATION, ZIGGY STARDUST, ALADDIN SANE, etc. All over the place (but always good) stylistically.... ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. |

your right, slipped by, but King Crimsons first album
was prog rock, later they seemed to move towards avant garde jazz fusion due to Fripp's piloting. I think David Bowie did as much prog rock as KC in his Low, Scary Monsters and Heroes era. |

You may well be, but "I'm a self-absorbed, immature, anti-social ignorant PR*CK" would be closer to the truth, I think. ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. |

Voted Genesis. UK Prog didn't get any better in the 70's IMO. Not far behind them was Camel and Yes, of course. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

| How can you leave out Crimson?But it has to be YES.The Yes album, Fragile,Close to the edge(greatest piece of music ever)Tales,Relayer and Going for the one.This run of classic albums cannot be bettered, albeit Gabriel's Genesis gave it a mighty big try. |

Date Posted: November 29 2004 at 06:59
| Er...Aye..how can you leave out Crimson? I voted for Yes, simply because Yes are Gods . Although I agree with Fragile that Genesis gave it a very good try. Yes have created some of the finest Prog in the 70's with such fantastic albums ; Close To The Edge, Relayer and Going For the one being my faves. |

Stop that. I have a wet towel and it's aimed right at your arse Anyways up, I'm not playing 'cos the Crims have been left out (folds arms and sits down in a huff) And for the last time (for the love of god) ELO are NOT Prog... ------------- I must remind the right honourable gentleman that a monologue is not a decision. - Clement Atlee, on Winston Churchill |

BRIAN ENO - ANOTHER GREEN WORLD
Eno first emerged as a member of Roxy Music, where the synthesizer player electronically "treated" the band's other instruments, the first indicator that the recording process was itself Eno's chosen instrument. His subsequent career has been one of the most provocative in pop, for not only did he devote himself to such obscure pursuits as "ambient music," but he produced vital albums by David Bowie, Talking Heads, and U2. Eno made a handful of relatively conventional pop albums in the 1970s, and Another Green World ranks with Before and After Science as his most enduring solo work. Another Green World finds Eno mixing distorted guitars (courtesy of Robert Fripp) with a variety of keyboards and exotic rhythms to create a meditative wash of sound that is nonetheless awash with colorful touches. From the strange-but-true file, Phil Collins contributes drums and percussion to three tracks. This 1975 recording catches the ex-Roxy Music member in transition between art rock and his more progressive-ambient recordings. With an all-star cast including drummer Phil Collins, guitarist Robert Fripp, and John Cale on viola, Another Green World explores instrumental landscapes and aural textures not normally associated with rock recordings. Brian Eno created layers of quirky sonic atmospheres and electronic tone poems. One of the many utterly essential Brian Eno albums - cut and paste |

1 Camel 2 Jethro Tull 3 Yes 4 Gentle Giant 5 Pink Floyd |

| Everyone complaining about the absence of the mighty Crimson should vote for Eno/Bowie since they colloborated with Fripp/Belew in the 70s! As an interesting side note Brand X was formed after playing together on the "Another Green World" sessions. |
