I think that's THE TRUTH . But I think Piper from The Pink Floyd belongs there too.

Also Soft Machine's Volume One.

I'd have to go with:

1.- The Birds - "Mr Tambourine Man" (Bob Dylan's won't lemme lie)

2.- Rainbow (ask Mr Cozy Powell)

and somehow...

3.- UFO

would like to read the reply for this

Dude:

Actually, he hired Dewey, Cheatham and Howe...

Dude and Jim: Sorry, but I've got you both.  My album "Selling Ameba By the Pound" was released almost 3 billion years ago...

Peace.

Actually, Dude, my album "Tales Of Typographic Errrors" predated yours by 2 years, and the lawyers are still investigating a possible claim for plagiarism

Before that the term was coined...I think that the first bands and artists who are near (in spirit) to prog rock are of course Frank Zappa and his Mothers of invention, also the first traffic album (made in 1966), Arthur Brown, the psychedelic 13th floor elevator (conceptualy), Black widow.

That's very nice of you , but mp3's too large for email, and I don't have MSN (My dad forbid that). Maybe you have SoulSeek?

For me Yes !... but for you I don't know

I could only suggest you to listen their music

I like very much "Da Capo" released before "Forever Changes" (early '67), mainly :

-Orange sky (beautyfull song with flute and unusual melody)

-7 And 7 Is (qualified as first "metal" song of all times)

-Revelation (a 19 mn track !)

I have learned that their first name was "Grassroots".

It is not surprising because I think they have smoked all the leaves

Yes but have you heard Love in particular "Forever Changes" ?

Los Angeles psychedelic/acid rock ? Yes but this band formed in 1965 should be also one of the doyens of prog rock (new and fine music, poly-ethnic band...)

So the question is to know if prog rock was born in UK or USA (probably not elsewhere) within the melting pot of Artschools, Drugs and a kind of Madness

I've read in my encyclopedia of pop music, that Love is a legendaric band. Is their music interesting?
