my favorite jazz-rock band of all time!! Good thing I retired when I did.. this band was next on my list to brute force past the conversatives on the site that still think this is a PROG site. Since when has J-R ever been prog.. is is progressive rock and so was this group.
Jazz fans are even more elitist than prog fan.. and jazz fans completely embraced this group.. jazz sites discuss this group understanding that underneath the 'blues' veneer... this group was Coltrane inspired rock. As much or more so than any group. |

Japan's current metal scene (of the non-extreme kind) is chock full of shred-monsters with oodles of talent, but usually either go full-on speed power metal that makes Dragonforce sound like amateurs or throw in lot's of poppiness. Light Bringer is one of the best of the power metal bands combining aggression with poppish hooks, and sometimes they can bring in the prog influences big-time, such as this tune "ARK". Yes, the lyrics ar Japanese, but she's better than almost any prog metal singer out there talentwise and the band combines ridiculous virtuosity with this peculiar jubilent poppiness that seems almost regulated to Japan.
Some others: Nazareth - Please Don't Judas Me Die Kreuzen - Hide and Seek Bauhaus "All We Ever Wanted Was Everything"

I think some of the non prog bands have written some of the best prog, because the bigger rock bands became big because they had a greater ability to understand song crafting than many of the prog bands that focused more on chops and or just pursuing weirdness and experimental.
Riders on the Storm - The Doors Don't fear the Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult Achilles Last Stand - In the Light - Led Zeppelin Band on the Run Maybe I'm Amazed - Wings The prog songs by these bands often became some of their best know works. Who was the most prog Beatle? |

It always will be a kind of mistery to me why Steve Miller Band is not listed in the Prog Archives as a proto-prog act regarding SMB's very important first two albums from 1968 - Nick Logan in The illustrated New Musical Express Encyclopedia of Rock (released in 1976 / 1977, Salamander Books Ltd.) called them "the hoarstones of progressive rock" - and the songs as Song For Our Ancestors
