Savoy Brown had some prog-blues moments and so did Ten Years After. ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

I have to agree with Cygnus: Cream was a major, often forgotten, influence on prog. So was Hendrix, of course, also blues-based. Re zep, by the time they put out PG (which was arguably their most "proggy" album), it was already late in the game, so even if some of the album is prog, they could not be considered an "influence." Peace. |

| A lot of the early Prog Bands were influenced by either Blues, Rhythm&Blues and/or Soul. Procol Harum, Birth Control, Collosseum, Greenslade, Pink Floyd, Camel. These bands just got something more. Gary Brooker from Procol Harum said in an interview :"PH is a soul and blues band which has these other influences(...) it's just that, when we finally do it, it comes out differently." I think this is quiet a good definition, what makes them different from the 100% this or that style bands. I would give a special mention to David Gilmour and Andy Latimer, both great Blues guitarists. A lot of the Floyd and Camel tracks are extended slow blues where they show their talent.For ex: (Shine on/Floyd... and Ice/Camel). |
