Yep... they left the pre-defined pattern that was enforced upon prog in the '70s and became great again.

Funny, Crimso dipped their feet into New-Wave waters in the 80's, and all 3 albums are wonderful.

When has the use of logic ever stopped a thread?

More than once... sometimes logic is so overpowering it leaves the participants baffled and speechless. But, it happens more often in real life than on a forum, that's true. Wink

Lol there is similarity for real, so this might be Pink Floyd 'borrowing' from Cindy. Even if so, I won't get heart attack from it, since Floyd post-Wall era is certainly not among the best creations of prog.
And ofc i don't rly accuse ELP  of ripping off Purple, its just a kind of provocative topic name Big smile
 
Byw, please could you tell me who others amongst the 'Big 5' that post '79 are certainly not among the best creations of prog?
 
 
Well, King Crimson Discipline is adorable work imo, not pure prog by definition though. "Three of a perfect pair" is quite good as well.

LOL LOL    Thumbs Up
 
P.S.: There is even a famous brasilian Funk group that ripped off Mozart's too, but of course the number of varied borrowings are astonishing bigger than we can imagine in the world of music.

This thread reminds me of One Song To The Tune Of Another, except that's a game that doesn't actually work with the two songs here.
What?

Melody? Not Really, Rhythm? Kinda Sorta, but only in the most abstract terms.
Thank you for supporting independently produced music
