If I should choose a Caravan song that ruins ITLOGAP it would be "Love to love you" which is a silly pop song ()but not a crime, I don't go so far).
However, what's the point of trying to remember bad songs instead of ignoring them ? If it's for a good provocation like the case of Epping forest .... well, that may be an interesting debate (personally I think it's a nice one though not one of my favorites), otherwise I find it useless.

I don't find 'Love to love you' that bad.

Starlight Man by The Flower Kings, damn it's so lame... same thing with The Sun in my Eyes by The Tangent, but at least this one makes me laugh, I can imagine a video for this song featuring a young Travolta  |
Every review of A Place in the Queue seems to mock The Sun in my Eyes, but I think it's wonderful. Not everything has to be prog to be good. On an album that mostly criticises society, a song like The Sun in my Eyes is a great break. I still remember the first time I heard the song. I had bought A Place in the Queue and transferred it to my mp3-player. I was listening to it for the first time on a trip to a grocery store. I fell in love with The Sun in my Eyes immediately and listened to it probably five times in a row before I listened the last song on the album. I remember wishing I was home so I could dance to it. The song still makes me smile every time I hear it.

Ouch, to bad. I love neo prog. Love Marillion with H and Fish. Probably in my top 5 favs. Much worse music out there man.

Most songs mentioned I can do without (with "Cat Food" the exception), but what is really a crime is to recycle riffs and ideas. Jon Anderson is a particular criminal with "Boundaries" on Animation essentially repeated as "Somehow, Someday" on Open Your Eyes and "O'er" on The Promise Ring. This is supposed to be progressive music?!

I agree with Epping Forest. Terrible, terrible song. A skipper, but then again there are only three songs on Selling England I don't skip. (Dancing, I Know What I Like, The Cinema Show)

The Devil's Triangle - King Crimson
The Ancient Giants Under the Sun - Yes
The 344 new age piano albums Rick Wakeman released every other week during the 80's
Greg Lake's side of Works Volume 1 by ELP
Most of the Neo Prog that I've heard
Most of the Prog Metal that I've heard
Love Beach (the title track) from ELP
Joe's Garage by Frank Zappa
Hawkwind
Gong's Radio Gnome Trilogy
Jon Anderson
Last and by no means least, many prog fan's blinkered attitudes to music that lies outside the cramped cosmos of 'accredited' Prog.
