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 DormanQuatermass - John Gustafson Procol Harum - B.J. Wilson FM - Nash The Slash Jade Warrior - Tony Duhig Can - Michael KaroliAmon 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 RenbournWigwam - 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). ------------- Buy this thing! https://store.cdbaby.com/Artist/MichaelPDawson" rel="nofollow - https://store.cdbaby.com/Artist/MichaelPDawson |

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. ------------- "Larks' tongues. Wrens' livers. Chaffinch brains. Jaguars' earlobes. Wolf nipple chips.

Whelp, I got the time-slot for it and it seems this special's been shortened to an hour: November 4th from 2am - 3am EST. Guess I gotta focus on the "freshly dead." |

| As for newer bands(as in post seventies)how about Magellan? Both Gardner brothers died in the past few years(Trent as recently as June of 2016). I thought it was interesting that you mentioned Shadow Gallery and not them since they were both Magna Carta bands. |
