   Wow, that is fantastic!! That Grateful Dead song!  I mean, that is EXACTLY what I am looking for! I'm no Deadhead, so I only know a little of their work. But this I could listen to over and over. Thanks so much for kicking this off!!!

	and i want to mention this too, Madlib is one of the best hip-hop producers around right now and he likes to release vinyl mixes which are literally a compilation mix of music he finds really good, there's a lot of different ones he's done with jazz, funk, soul, and other stuff but he also has a lot with lots of prog and prog-related stuff i love this stuff cause he always puts hella good music in and i can always find something awesome and new Edited by Sumdeus - January 13 2013 at 14:41

	If this topic is covered elsewhere, just point me to the relevant thread (I'm a newbie).... What I'm interesed in with this thread is "prog" (subject to interpretation) songs by bands not listed at progarchives.com They are not listed because the vast majority of their work is not prog related. However, sometimes as you all know, many such bands will occasionally stretch it out a bit and incorporate prog elements into a work. They may only perform one or two such songs like this in their entire careers. But do we have a place here for those songs? Are people interested in compiling a list? I want (or try to see) prog everywhere I go, and so I'm tempted anytime I really like something, regardless of the genre, to call it "prog" simply because to me it is fresh and inventive and unusual. Like with "Good Vibrations" by the Beach Boys. For its time, it really pushed the boundaries of what was possible. Anyway, I will wait to hear if others think this is a good idea, or, more likely, if it is covered elsewhere (seems there is probably not much that hasn't been talked about here!) thanks - aldri7 Edited by aldri7 - January 13 2013 at 14:32
