My bad

I changed it now.

Another German prog band I haven't seen mentioned in this thread is Frumpy. Their second outing simply called 2 is very tasty:

I played the song "How the Gypsy Was Born" in my show on iskc rock radio :-) I didn't mention it in my long list of artists I played to this day on the internet radio, because I didn't think of Frumpy as a "heavy prog" band...

So, i've been digging out some obscure heavy prog rock lately, i wanted to know if you can recommend me some albums.... i know there are some good Heavy Prog which is more popular than what i am showing you (Bands like Kansas, Rush etc).

Yes, I was definitely going to recommend Kansas' first self-titled album. The last two tracks - Apercu leading into Death of Mother Nature Suite - fits the bill of heavy prog...

Is Leftoverture considered as Prog or rather, Hard Rock?

Nice Steamhammer pick doc Wu Thumbs Up

Always liked those guys.

Another German act that hasn't been mentioned yet is Jane.

I have an early Jane....can't recall which one right now.

I've always liked Steamhammer.....and Gravy Train are another favorite of mine.

Just read the thread again and I'm surprised to see that Flower Travellin' Band weren't mentioned. Their Satori LP presents a very distinctly Japanese take on Blue Cheer/Led Zeppelin/Black Sabbath type heavy psychedelia, and more genuinely "out there" than any of those too.

I can't believe anyone hadn't mentioned Black Widow yet, a band from the UK

It's hard to find a 70s heavy prog and (or) hard rock song with a Minimoog solo like this.
