Invisible Touch..

If they like that then try A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers by VDGG.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Good point and I agree 100%. The first question would of course be if they’re interested at all

Do they want to be started off with anything? That's the first question you need to ask yourself. 
I would not like others to impose their taste on me. Confused

Hi, I’ve been listening to prog for about a year now, roughly 500 albums. I’m in love with the genre and I want to share it, especially 70’s prog, with my friends and loved ones. So I’m thinking about which songs to start them off with.

Camel’s Song Within A Song is the song (or should I say songs ) which I have recommended thus far. Midnight Madness by a band called England is very much Yes and Genesis so I believe that might also be a good starting point. Also, Supper’s Ready is kind of prog rock’s anthem, right, but is it a good starting point?

I’m happy to hear any suggestions for good beginners’ 70’s prog songs which are good and representative of the genre
