Love the three octave change in Bowie's voice at the beginning:

Pulp's 'This is Hardcore' is a fantastic prog track - full of drama, mood changes and an orgasmic climax at 03.38.  It is one of the most cinematic pieces of popular music I have ever heard - very noir(ish)

Some more. This time, EPICS:

Angra - Carolina IV (prog related, though) (11 mins aprox)
X Japan - Art of Life  (34 mins aprox)
Luna Sea - The One: Crash to Create (23 mins aprox)

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

It's gotta be smth like this:
Beatles - A Day in the life
ELO - Mr.Radio/ Overture 10538
The Who - Quadrophenia
Deep Purple - April
Led Zeppelin - Kashmir
Btw, a lot of songs from Procol Harum and Moody Blues will certainly do, but I think these bands should be considered  prog in context of this topic

Not sure if this is relevant to the thread but on the latest Monochrome Set album Spaces Everywhere (an avowed post Punk art school guitar band) during 'Avenue' they quote verbatim (without any discernible irony) the Howe/Wakeman riff from Roundabout by Yes...what next, Mark E Smith in a sparkly cape?Shocked

The Monkees – Porpoise Song.  You heard me, the Monkees.  The single from their controversial head-scratcher of a feature film, “Head”.  I remember an appearance on Letterman by Carole King (who cowrote this and other songs in the film) where the subject of “Head” comes up, and she slams the song.  I would have told her that sure, it’s her prerogative, but the arrangement they and the session musicians came up for it in the studio is nothing short of magnificent.

I am well aware of ProgArchives rules about posting lyrics and this band has authorized me to post them on here Approve 
Forget About Me lyrics
I just can’t forget about you, the way you forgot about me, how hard can this be?
Well I’m going out of my head, this mess that you made, don’t clean so easy


Some days I can’t make it out of my bed, some days, I spend hours on the things that you’ve said,
... Over and over and over again, something inside I just can’t defend.

They say time heals everything, but that’s just a lie, to help you get by,
And I’m walking around in a daze, but these lights never change, and the world has stopped turning

Some days I wonder just what I have done, I spend every day, every day in a house not a home,
Over and over and over again, something inside I just can’t defend.
(Repeat)

They say time heals everything, but that’s just a lie, to help you get by,
Well I’m drinking whiskey all the time, yeah it’s killing the pain, but the it’s over again,

Some days I wish I had never been born, I wish I could, rip out this heart and the pain would be gone,
Over and over... :))) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
