A perfect example would be "Enneagram" by Egg

Close to the edge - my parents played all the time along with Brain Salad surgery, Aqualung and first 7 Moodies albums.

Peaches en Regalia - Frank Zappa
Roundabout - Yes
Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Part 1 - King Crimson

among others . . .

The song "People sucks ass"

Yeah that one too; always been a classic

Couple prog metal examples are jumping to mind now:

Hybrid Times by Riverside and A Trace of Blood by Pain of Salvation.

Then again, basically all of their stuff screams prog to some degree. These are just the two foremost in my mind at the moment.

May God bless you all in Jesus' name. No matter who you are, you're special, you're loved, and you matter.

Another song that just screams prog is King Crimson's Starless.

Didn't go through all the posts, so not sure if (or how many times!) these were mentioned: Return of the Giant Hogweed and Fountain of Salmacis.

The song that screams prog is Rick Wakeman - Journey to the Center of the Earth. Everything that is good and bad about prog is encapsulated in this song - except for ice skating. Rick took that on in his next album.

Smak singing in English at an album released on German label Bellaphone, 1977. Although bashed by Mellody Maker as "rip off from the Taste" (

), it's the Yugoslav prog rock at its best.

Mothers of Invention's King Kong, live recorded at concert (with BBC Symphony Orchestra) in Royal Festival Hall, London, on October 25, 1968, and released in 1993 at Ahead of Their Time the album. And Zappa said "progress" at 7:40. Awesome.

Golf Girl by Caravan screams prog...?

There must be something funny in the water in Serbia.

Serbia has great mineral waters, so who knows?

Golf Girl screams beautiful in Canterbury style. And her scream sounds not dated.

This song is a great prog scream too:
