Imagine it's your wedding (or you have chance for second wedding, strangily enough some progfans are married, I never quite really understood how that happened), it's the great day, and your bride or groom is indeed a progfan (fat chance, but let's dream). Furthermore (it is very unlikely from this point) you have opportunity to hire any progressive band you like and create the setlist (you are terribly rich or progressive artist yourself).

Who would you pick? I myself will choose Marillion with Fish on vocal and ask them to play "Cinderella Search" and "Lavender"

yet you still have time!

haha.

 

I'd probably get Genesis with Gabriel and have them play their whole discography 1971-1974.

Then I would get Yes to play their stuff from 1971-1977.

Then Gentle Giant to play from aquiring the taste - interview.

Then Jethro Tull to play all of Thick as a Brick.

 

It would be a long wedding.

I'd call classic Amon Düül II and Magma. Only people who really loves me would stay at the party. Then, as a prize for their fidelity, I'd ask any disco cover group to play all night long, while me and my wife would be flying to our honeymoon.

 

PS: I'm married and I never, NEVER, went at a party where at least 50 % of the music played could satisfy my ears - and I really like a lot of 60 and 70 pop stuff, classic hard rock and metal.

My wife and I had a young band on our wedding (music students) and they also played some prog.

Oh, and we both love prog.

If I could choose a prog band then I think I'd invite (in bold are bands I really want to attend):

Phish - Reba, Stash and Guelah papyrus

Rush - anything from A Farewell To Kings

Opeth - anything from Damnation, The Apostle In Triumph,Blackwater Park and Ghost Of Perdition

The Mars Volta - whatever they want to play

Camel - all of Mirage

Wobbler

Hidria Spacefolk - whatever they want

Orphaned Land - I'd ask them to play their acoustic versions of their songs like they did on their bonus cd of Mabool.

Echolyn, Glass Hammer and Finisterre

Can't remember clearly... it was in past century, a long long time ago.

My wife chose the musical score and it was full of Ave Marias and that stuff. I got to insert the 'Concierto de Aranjuez' (Rodrigo) but I don't remember if it played or not.

If I had to marry again I'd choose 'Harold the barrel'.

Why do people like Marillion. Their music isn't entertaining to my or any of my band mates ears.

Hasn't this thread been done before?  I think it was called something like "Prog Songs for your Funeral"
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?
