I saw Mirakaze's topic and it made me wonder if there were many prog rock songs with a clarinet in a prominent role. I absolutely love the sound of a clarinet. It would also be really interesting to hear a clarinet solo in a rock context. I can't think of a song off the top of my head that has a clarinet in a prominent role (but I am bad with remembering the instruments a song has) and is prog rock, but if anyone knows one, please tell me. ------------- A Human Being, Existing. |

King Crimson's "Epitaph" has a clarinet part shortly after the 4 minute mark, as does Supertramp's "If Everyone Was Listening" in its chorus ------------- https://mirasnelder.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow - Freelance composer, accepting commissions | https://mirasnelder.bandcamp.com/album/altered-acuity" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp page |

I completely forgot that Epitaph existed when I made this post, but it is an obvious example of it. It is also probably my favorite song. Thanks! ------------- A Human Being, Existing. |

Die anarchistische Abendunterhaltung (aka DAAU) have clarinet featured on all of their albums, but I don't know if that is the kind of prog you like. ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

I just started listening to their latest album and I like it, but I just realized that this album isn't in the prog archives for some reason? The rest of their discography is. ------------- A Human Being, Existing. |

^ Ah, I guess you are referring to Hineininterpretierung. Indeed it is missing in the database. This album proposes a rerecording/reinterpretation of some previous works and is a very good introduction to the music of this band. ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

| Brian Eno plays clarinet on the second Fripp and Eno album, but its really an ambient album, not prog rock. |

From my shelves and the limbs of my memory :-) Band : Stackridge LP : Extravaganza LP : Mr Mick years 1975 and 1976 i think .... issued on ...the Elton John's label ! Keith GemmeL is credited on sax and clarinet on both LPs For a a non musician, clarinet and soprano saxophones could sounds quite the same on rock recordings especially as they are processed orsubjected to various effects. |

Saga's Jim Gilmour plays a fabulous solo on "No Regrets (Chapter Five)" from the Worlds Apart album. Another John Helliwell/Supertramp song with clarinet: "Poor Boy" on Crisis? What Crisis?
