For the sake of PA, I'd suggest that our "deep cuts" are whatever we wish them to be, vs. what commercial streaming services dictate.  In other words, songs that tend to be under-appreciated or un-mentioned for some reason or another.  

Take "Time Table" from Foxtrot.  This song seems to draw faint praise on PA, but I find it to be a very charming nod to England's past, with some clever lyrics that tie the past to the future.  


I completely agree with this right here. A lot of songs on this thread are just songs that are straight up under appreciated. Great take on "Time Table," by the way. I absolutely love this song, and I'm seeing it live next month at Hackett's 50th anniversary Foxtrot tour. 




This list is pretty deep. Im not very familiar with a lot of these, but one I do know is "Inside Out." Recently I actually bought the rare "Spot the Pigeon," EP with other Genesis b-sides and singles such as "Pigeon" and "Match of the Day." I got it for barely $10 and its one of my favorite records. I will definitely listen to these and expand my own list :)


I agree I/O is a very good one .
This title would have made W/W a pure masterpiece if it had replaced the corny YOSW

Always liked Arriving UFO (mainly for White's drumming) but lyrically it's is as cheesy as it gets!

Love to see the two Genesis cuts you mentioned. "Harlequin" is beautiful and one of my favorites off Nursery Cryme. I've never seen "Just a Job To Do" mentioned anywhere and man am I happy to see it. Great insight with that pick dude. "Arriving UFO," is also a joy to listen to, but I was a little taken aback by "Luficer Sam," I'm not a huge fan. Overall a great list though.

Jethro Tull - "A Passion Play"
Frank Zappa - "Zoot Allures"
Pink Floyd - "Burning Bridges"

Off the top of my head.

Clap "Open Secrets" is my favorite song on HYF. Another fine deep cut from that album is "Prime Mover," warts and all.

Another deep (post-Waters) Floyd cut I dig is "Yet Another Movie" from AMLoR.

Great selection MortSahlFan! Love Chicago VII. Here's a cut from one of their more famous works. The song overall isn't a deep cut, but seeing as it was split into 6 movements on the remaster, some parts are super under appreciated.

"Then" is absolutely awesome. I love the symphonic aspect of the track. "The Lamia," is one of my favorite Genesis deep cuts ever. Absolutely beautiful song, definitely needs more notoriety.

"Fox Hill," is awesome. Kinda gives me an old English "Trick of the Tail," vibe. It makes me feel happy to see Iron Maiden somewhere on this thread, and especially to see a song off "Wasted Years" mentioned. Here's something similar to that song (Awesome proggy deep cut off "Powerslave")

Agree with you about the Camel's track
About Iron Maiden
I’m not familiar with their discography except the song called Paschendaele. I can't say it is a IM's deep cut However this is an awesome piece of music.

How about Hendrix's 1983?
I'm sure no average Hendrix fan would know the track
The Wheel of Time Turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the shadow.

Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time...

I definitely recommend checking out IM! They have a lot of closet-prog songs that most fans just overlook and deem "Metal." In all truth Iron Maiden has a ton of proggy deep cuts. A lot of prog heads can't just enjoy good music that isn't eclectic for some reason, but  here's a list of some of my favorite proggy (albeit heavy) IM songs:

  • Remember Tomorrow (Off their eponymous debut album) [NOTE: majority of the song is dominated by soft guitar overlays interrupted by the occasional rockin' section, including one of the most underrated solo sections ever by this band] 
  • Strange World (Off their eponymous debut album) [NOTE: beautiful lyrics, heavily phased guitar, that of a band like "Eloy"]
  • Charlot the Harlot (Off their eponymous debut album) [NOTE: starts out super heavy but eventually broadens out, patience is key Smile]
  • Prodigal Son (Off Killers) [NOTE: Super proggy, tons of acoustic guitars genesis-esque twelve string progressions huge reccomendation]
  • Innocent Exile (Off Killers) [NOTE: sounds like an 80s version of an early Budgie song with complex drumming]
  • The Prisoner (Off Number of the Beast) [NOTE: opens with a old-timey monologue which transitiions into one of the most lyrically powerful songs by IM with lyrics like "I'm not a number, I'm a free man," and "Scratch me from your black book"]
  • Revelations (Off Piece of Mind) [NOTE: Very mythological lyrics about ancient Egypt)
  • The Duelists (Off Powerslave) [NOTE: Pretty thumpin, can be chill at times, but overall just some majestic-ass guitar riffing and progressions]
  • Infinite Dreams (Off Seventh Son of a Seventh Son) [NOTE: the beginning has a lot of synth which gives a progressive vibe, and then the song picks up about half way through]
  • The Prophecy (Off Seventh Son of a Seventh Son) [NOTE: This song is bookended by some of the proggiest guitar ever done by this band, but the middle get pretty heavy]
Hope you enjoy listening Thumbs Up

^ yep IM are legends and basically a 'closet prog band'. I remember their interviews in the 80's and they didn't shy away from comparisons to 70's bands such as Pink Floyd and Yes. The synth you mention is guitar synths (no keys!) which they started using on Somewhere In Time with a clear intention to broaden their sound. Worked (!) , although my favourite album by them is probably still Powerslave.

I'm sure you already know, but their cover of Nektar's "King of Twilight" surfaced on the bonus disc of EMI's 1995 reissue of Powerslave. Thumbs Up
