The UK magazine, aimed at the second records market has a big
feature on prog (Then ... And Now). The cover has an interesting merger
of Peter Gabriel and Thom Yorkes' heads. Worth getting if you're this
side of the Atlantic .
They have taken a poll: - "20 must-have prog masterpieces (& their
values!!)" although I haven't heard of one of the dozen so-called jury
who came up with the 20! And there are the 20 with some reasonable
reviews and the current price of the original vinyl versions (or
quadraphonic vinyl versions, if they were produced and you have them).
However, full marks for attempting to visualise the relationship
between 50 or so prog bands as a sort of planetary system - bizarrely
the planet ELP has the moons Chicago (early), Muse, Nice and Mars Volta
circling round it (LOL), while Colosseum, Mahavishnu O and Nucleus are
orbiting planet Soft Machine - and you should see which bands are in
the meterorite belt. But no Planet Gong???????? Well it is one
way of explaining inter-relationships - (but as Mr Spock would say) but
not as we know it,(if nothing else some of those orbits will defy
Newtons laws of gravitation).
