There are some of songs which either are my favourite from my records or known from various radios, or not my favourite though, but generally considered as Prog. Merry Christmas and Happy New Prog Year! ------------- A Elbereth Gilthoniel silivren penna míriel o menel aglar elenath!

April, that's the song that got me into prog in the first place, I think the self titled album by Deep Purple is 100% prog, and even if I love the later material, I would've loved to see how far Deep Purple could've gone as a prog act. April is without any doubt one of the best prog rock songs ever written, and it's not even done by a prog band. Every single prog fan should've heard it at least once.

Meh. It's interesting hearing Greed Day using a chord sequence slightly more complex than their usual fair, but it's not exactly complex. I still can't stand the vocals. WTF... Green Day using 7/8? I actually don't believe it. Still, Green Day have zero musicianship. They need a touring guitarist to play the solos. Listen to this solo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNVoeH4wfx0" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNVoeH4wfx0 I mean, Jesus, if they can't play that... they're absolutely pathetic. Also, about the poll... haven't heard loads of these, but the two Queen songs are obvious choices. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Nathaniel607" rel="nofollow - My Last FM Profile

A close call. I would call many of these more or less progressive, but I chose five of them:
* Bohemian Rhapsody
* A Day in the Life
* Prophet's Song * Private Investigations * Kashmir -------------

Bohemian Rap-City
It has everything including the modern opera thrown in. It has a melancholy ballad and a soaring lead solo then a multi part harmony orchestrated opera and then a heavy metal section. Prog! -------------

A lot of great songs here. Doors, Dire Straits, Deep Purple, Zeppelin, Who, Moody Blues would all make my list, although I voted for the Doors "The End" because it was one of the first songs I heard that truly transported me to another dimension. A song you could add to your list is "Let's Get The Show On The Road" by Michael Stanley -- the version off his "Friends and Legends" studio album, NOT the live version. I'm no fan of Michael Stanley by any means, but the aforementioned song is great. Great song, great vocals, great guitar, great rhythm section and a fabulous spacey sax that catapults the song to a higher lever. ------------- PROGMATIC |

I would NEVER classify Green Day as prog, this song just popped into my head when I read the forum topic. The only "progressive" thing about Before The Lobotomy would be the 7/4 time signature, and the I-IV-V chords have been used in pretty much every single Green Day song. |

Sweet not Glam? THE FRONT PAGE OF THE OFFICIAL SWEET SITE RECOGNIZES THEM AS A GLAM BAND, AND NOT JUST AS ANY GLAM BAND, BUT AS THE EPITOME OF GLAM
For God's sake, if you don't accept that The Sweet were a Glam band, you are the one who doesn't know them (I grew with songs like Ballroom Blitz), even they describe themselves as Glam, or do you pretend to know more about them than themselves? Yes they made a couple of good rock tracks, but even their appearence is of a Glam band    And no, I don't believe that "Love is like Oxygen" is Prog,. a great rock song but not Prog So please, before calling other person's opinions ridiculous or accusing them of not knowing what they say, verify what the band believes of themselves.

10cc - "Une Nuit a Paris"
10cc were much more of a Pop group with Art Rock influences, best known for their hits "I'm Not in Love" and "The Things We Do For Love"
Yet, "Une Nuit a Paris" is a three part suite that clocks in at 9 minutes, which has many key and tempo changes, as well as an unpredictable song structure (save for the Chorus).

I really don´t know any reason why some Glam Rock (or Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Pop, etc...) artist wouldn´t record sometimes a kind of Prog Rock album or song.
Example: Elton John, Kiss, Sweet...
I believe that "Love Is Like Oxygen" is very related to Prog. But the final decision is on you all. ------------- A Elbereth Gilthoniel silivren penna míriel o menel aglar elenath! Na-chaered palan-díriel o galadhremmin ennorath, Fanuilos, le linnathon nef aear, sí nef aearon! |

Of course some Pop, Rock, etc can be Prog (Even Salsa), like:
But I don't believe "I Don't Like Mondays" (A song love, only bought the LP for that track) is Prog Related, being that The Sweet are from the 70's and always managed to keep a safe distance from Prog. Iván -------------

The majority of their material is not Glam Rock. Most of their "Glam" stuff was written by Chinn/Chapman...basically the A sides of their major hit singles if the early seventies. Most of the self penned material is not. I have always been a fan of the band and have every album. Of course the photos YOU choose are from their Glam period...where a ,lot of bands dressed up like this. I could show pictures of a naked woman and say " This woman is always naked". David Bowie just a Glam act also? I'm not getting into an extensive discusssion with you...frankly it is boring.

Snow Dog...The first phrase in the front page of their site claims they are the epitome of UK Glam Rock. If I have to choose to whom believe...I choose them, they know who they were. But at the end, you claim that because I said said they were a Glam Rock band I didn't knew them (Now you at least admit they had a Glam period)...Ergo, they don't know themselves according to you. And of course you won't get into an extensive discussion, but because it's obvious they were a Glam Rock band, something they proudly admit Iván -------------

| Snow Dog is right. They are very much prog in the way that Queen was in the early- to mid-seventies(" Action") and very much prog in the way that ELO and City Boy were in the late 70's(listen to "Tell the Truth"from 1980,a terrific song). Yes,they were glam,but they were also MORE. Slade,THAT was just a glam band,playing brainless rock n'roll tunes. But Sweet? Nah |

No, but the case is different. Every Metal band claims to be the hardest one, because that's some sort of achievement for them, very few claim to be a Glam band, because the term Glam is seen as derogatory by some fans. Still The Sweet say with pride in their official website that they are the epitome of the Glam movement (They could had said they were a Rock band, but no, they placed emphasis and with no shame in the Glam aspect), and with a good reason, because Glam bands made great music, I was never offensive with the band, i said they made great rock tracks, but seems that some fans feel offended when their favorite band is not cataloged as Prog, as if Prog was an award or an achievement. There are great and terrible Prog bands, in the same way that there are terrible and amazing Glam bands, Bowie during this era did good music, hey, I even liked the pomp of bands like Europe, The Sweet made some amazing tracks, but they shout they are Glam, they dressed as Glam, they are recognized as pioneers of the Glam movement...Denying they were a great Glam band is absurd and full of prejudice. This doesn't mean they are bad or brainless, they made great music, but Prog...................No way, not even a track IMHO. If somebody feels offended with this...bad luck, I say my truth even if people don't like it. Iván -------------

Genres are a very vague concepts, and ever changing. take a recognized prog band eg: Genesis, they werent prog anymore at some point, but still know as "progressive music" although it was closer to some pop form. I dont know the sweet, im just bored. but most bands "goes with the flow" as a plublicitary move, maybe they felt they could gather more fans dressing like that and claiming to be glam? Kiss could fit into glam too, but they chose to say they are "the hardest band in the world" and people catalog them as metal(?) my point is: do not believe what you read, specially in the internet. even if it comes from the source itself. eg: I, Jörgemeister, claim to be the most progressive of the prog fans.

I agree, wouldn't dare to talk about a band I don't know. I grew with The Sweet, I danced "Ballroom Blitz" in every party since I was 13, had all the albums ffrom "Funny how Sweet Co-Co Sweet Can Be" (1971) up to "Level Headed" (1978) when I lost the interest in them, but I also listened everything they did until "Identity Crisis". But when you enter in a discussion, you can't give your opinion exclusively, you have to give evidence, and what better than the one in their official site? Iván -------------

But you always say, when you reject suggestions for Symphonic, that we shouldn't care if the bands call themselves symphonic, or prog, because what the bands say isn't reliable at all. I guess you only say this when it favours your point of view |

Of course Harmonium
Unlike other persons I don't claim that X band plays Prog or Rock or Glam Rock or whatever because I say so. Much less I call ignorants to those who disagree with me, I give my opinion and I support it with whatever is available. When we add a band to Symphonic, we rely in our opinion as a team, but what other sites say and the information provided by web sites is a useful aid to confirm what we think. Iván. -------------

The loudest, the hardest, the toughest, etc, are terms that MANY (have to be precise because seems that people can't understand figures of speech) bands use to describe themselves. But when a band uses a term like Glam (which has negative connotations) to describe themselves...I believe them. And when a band dresses like this:  To promote their greatest hits...I confirm what I suspected. Iván

^So, I´ve found it before. To be honest, this is a kind of mediocre Glam rock band with certainly bad singer. ------------- A Elbereth Gilthoniel silivren penna míriel o menel aglar elenath! Na-chaered palan-díriel o galadhremmin ennorath, Fanuilos, le linnathon nef aear, sí nef aearon! |

I even agree, but "Faith Healer" is something special

by the way: there are a lot of glam rock elements in prog, an important point which is missing in our own site's iintroduction to prog. just look at the stage costumes of ELP or of Yes! Peter Gabriel's various costumes also are a very glam rock thing. Queen and Roxy Music are just one step away from glam rock. the prog-related David Bowie is an icon of glam rock. look around and you will certainly find a lot more examples ------------- A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

| May I nominate Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti??? They made some terrific arty songs with a 70's feel in it on their latest albums(2009). Certainly check Fright Night, Round & Round and Little Wig(hilarious!!!!). Also check New trumpets of time. |

Horrid, horrid album cover. Brilliant, brilliant album.
I find that most of my favorite songs are prog songs by artists who aren'ts necessarily prog themselves.
What a tough poll. ------------- "WAAAAAAOOOOOUGH! WAAAAAAAUUUUGGHHHH!! WAAAAAOOOO!!!" -The Great Gig in the Sky |
