To recap, I will be presenting a song which samples an artist on Prog Archives. Using your amazing ears, see if you can identify the artist and song sampled. You could cheat by using google, but please don't. When someone gets it, I'll do another. I think it works better if just I do it because otherwise it gets messy with people piling them on.
 
Anyway, here we go:

Well we must congratulate Kanye West for making this subject much popular than before

I heard Jon Anderson's voice in the first one, but judging from your last comment, I guess that isn't the sample you wanted us to pick out. I couldn't get the others.

the styles P song is an asia song i know that....but i have 2 more kanye west ones from his most recent album, not including power
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-qKboHKPEA (pretty easy, the sample plays no role in main song structure)
 
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGW-tWaUXXs heres a more difficult one, considering the original sample was altered quite a bit
 
 EDIT: not sure how to embedd, but i made the realization that the so appalled drums might contain a slight a sample of the lift me up song by yes

Very famous chord sequence but if anything comes to mind it's Colosseum's The Kettle

Easy, thats Barbarian by ELP. That was a totally original sound when it first came out, never liked the piano part in the middle though.

I was thinking it was Focus or Santana, I had to look it up, hearing that old song again brought back some memories.

No Starcastle fans huh?
Because that was Starcastle's own The Stars Are Out Tonight in Jaylib's Stars while part of the melody from Strong Arm Steady's Get Started was from When The Sun Shines At Midnight.
 
Here's a quite well-known one- I've seen this conversation several times.
 
A: ZOMG! Kanye West sampled King Crimson!
B: So, he already sampled Can.
C: And Outkast sampled ***** back in 1996.
 
(Usually the conversation stops there, this seems to exhaust people's knowledge of prog samples in rap.)

So before I hit you with something more obscure, here's that '96 Outkast prog sample... do you know it?

No one has guessed the sample in Get Started but rather than revealing the answer, here's another hip-hop song with a sample from the same prog band, but this one is MUCH easier to spot. Perhaps it will tip you off.

Damn, one awesome idea for a thread, and I see you came prepared! I always thought that the background vocals for the chorus of Uriah Heep's Rainbow Demon are the first hip-hop vox ever LOL

It's the synth from Muse's Newborn.
 
Alright, the last two acts sampled were sort of prog-lite, Nightwish and Muse. Here's a track from an album I just got, Strong Arm Steady's In Search Of Stoney Jackson, that samples a vintage authentic prog band. Pretty hard to place though, I shall be rather impressed if you get it. Gotta love Talib Kweli.
