    Posted: October 13 2016 at 19:28
So for College Radio Day [November 4th], my show is airing a "Dead Prog Society" special where I'm exclusively playing music from prog bands with dead members.

One problem: I can't come up with a ton off the top of my head, and the only newer bands I could think of with a dead member is Riverside and Shadow Gallery.

Because of this massive lapse of thought, I'd like to enlist the help of members here in assisting me in creating a list of deceased prog musicians. Just shout out names of dead prog musicians below (freshly or otherwise) and I'll compile it here:

Yes - Chris Squire & Peter Banks
Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Kieth Emerson
Pink Floyd - Richard Wright & Syd Barrett
Frank Zappa
Henry Cow - Lyndsey Cooper
Gong - Daevid Allen
Tangerine Dream - Edgar Froese
Samla Mammas Manna - Lars Hollmer
Soft Machine - Hugh Hopper, Kevin Ayers, Elton Dean
Atomic Rooster - Vincent Crane, John Du Cann, Paul Hammond
Hawkwind - Bob Calvert & Lemmy
Jethro Tull - John Glasscock, Glenn Cornick
Renaissance - Michael Dunford & John Tout
Rush - John Rutsey
Triumvirat - Helmut Koellen
Libra - Federico D'Andrea
Passport - Kristian Schultze
Dzyan - Eddy Marron
Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso - Francesco Di Giacomo
Riverside - Piotr Grudzinski
Shadow Gallery - Mike Baker
Crimson Glory - Midnight
King Crimson - Ian Wallace, Boz Burrell
Gilgamesh - Alan Gowen
Genesis - John Mayhew
Threshold - Andrew McDermott
Nektar - Roye Albrighton
BJH - Wooly Wolstenholme
Sky - Steve Gray, Kevin Peek
Captain Beyond - Larry Reinhardt & Lee Dorman
Quatermass - John Gustafson
Procol Harum - B.J. Wilson
FM - Nash The Slash
Jade Warrior - Tony Duhig
Can - Michael Karoli
Amon Düül II - Lothar Meid
Deep Purple - Jon Lord
Gentle Giant - Martin Smith
Traffic - Chris Wood & Jim Capaldi
Kayak - Pim Koopman
Supersister - Sacha Van Geest
Uriah Heep - David Byron & Gary Thain
Area - Demetrio Stratos
Aphrodite's Child - Demis Roussos
Pentangle - Bert Jansch & John Renbourn
Wigwam - Pekka Pohjola
Tasavallan Presidentti - Pekka Poyry
Brand X - Morris Pert
Oregon - Colin Wolcott
Steely Dan - Walter Becker
UK - Allan Holdsworth, John Wetton
Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Paul O'Neill
Kaipa - Mats Löfgren


NOTE: The special will air on 90.3 WMSC at a shortened timeslot of 2:00am - 3:00am EST, so I'll be forced to only focus on the newly dead (last 5 years or so) within that hour...but I'll still maintain this list for the hell of it.

Pip Pyle wasn't in Caravan; you're thinking of Richard Coughlan.
 
Pip Pyle does give us Hatfield and the North, National Health (also Alan Gowen) and Gong (also Daevid Allen, Pierre Moerlen, and Gilli Smyth).

Definitely have a song from Piper play. You've got a wide array to choose from but I think "Astronomy Domine", "Pow R. Toc H." or "Interstellar Overdrive" would be particularly good choices.
