BTW, that's true for both Santana the group and Carlos Santana the solo artist. |

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Thanks! I just had a look on Google at those two albums you mentioned and I noticed Rod Argent & Colin Blunstone are both still with The Zombies, so they must be good albums.

There are many ‘non-Prog’ bands I listen to, among them, my faves are Sade, Devo and Kajagoogoo.

Like many here, I have several.......I'd have to pick Earth, Wind & Fire. The first band I really immersed myself into as a kid and they inspired me to look into progressive rock bands.
Honorable Mentions: Funkadelic/Parliament Scorpions Eric Clapton The Police

The Police... now there's a defining band. I can't think of a late 70s/early 80s band that weren't inspired by them.

The Police were IMO, one of the most dynamic bands of that era. They were a supergroup almost, all 3 members coming from other groups to form The Police, and from progressive rock bands. Easily one of the greatest bands ever, the songs they wrote are legendary. Considering their short life together, what they did is brilliance. |

As many have said hard to choose only one.
In the 60's would have been The Beatles (and Stones), 70's Steely Dan and Allman Bros., 80's XTC, 90's got into obscure prog and proto prog and really didn't have a special non prog band... Since 2000....I guess I would say The Beatles again. I never tire of playing their various albums. As I have gotten older I seem to be going back to many old groups.

As a universal rule, everyone likes the Beatles.
Well, I agree with you, but according to the now defunct magazine Blender, Sting is the worst lyricist of all time. But that's now defunct, which shows you what people really think. Nevertheless, I don't think you'd get on with the editor of Blender, because according to the mag, Neil Peart is the second worst lyricist of all time.

P J Harvey is my all time favorite artist, but band...well I think it´s Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band. But they´re progarchives...well then the Birthday Party.

I initially chose Santana as my favourite non-prog band, until I discovered they're included in ProgArchives, so I'll choose The Doors and Jefferson Airplane as my second & third favourite non-prog bands.
If we can choose individual artists as well as bands, then my favourite male singer is Chris Rea, and my favourite female singer is Sarah Brightman. Edited by Psychedelic Paul - August 05 2020 at 12:51 |

Probably the Comsat Angels followed by Pinback. Obviously there are many great ones, and I consciously ignore solo artists here.

Really hard to say. I’d have to do one for each genre, and maybe even by decade. Way to hard to narrow down. Let me sleep on it.
