In general there's a lot of non-prog in my music collection (that is, artists that are not on Progarchives). From the English speaking countries: Bob Dylan The Rolling Stones The Velvet Underground / Lou Reed Joni Mitchell Stevie Wonder Marvin Gaye Television The Clash The Police Nirvana Portishead Blur Idles Plus a lot of music from Denmark and the other Nordic countries, as well as some gems from many other countries. |

The list is long. Here are a few...
Neil Young Bob Dylan The Band The Pogues Cat Stevens The Allman Brothers Any number of Clapton iterations (Cream, Blind Faith, Derek and the Dominos, etc.) Van Morrison I guess these are proto-prog or prog-related.... The Beatles Zeppelin Sabbath The Doors Bowie

To me Cream is something of an omission for Proto-Prog, but I shouldn't get into that again. I made my case many years ago and will accept that the majority of PAers didn't buy my arguments, and don't feel like trying to make the case again even if I could be successful.

I would think an argument could be made for Cream's inclusion. I would say it would be more for their live extended improvisational versions of songs, some stretching to 16-17 minutes. That was quite different for rock in the mid-60s.

I think Wheels of Fire a quite progressive album taken as a whole, as well as Disraeli Gears. It's much more than just a bluesy and jam rock kind of band to me, and there's the psychedelic qualities. Furthermore, since Prog relation matters, BAKER GURVITZ ARMY is included in the Heavy Prog category and JACK BRUCE is included in the JRF category. The whimsy too is one of those things that makes me relate Cream to early Prog. Aside from the longer improv version of songs, music like Pressed Rat and Warthog, Anyone for Tennis, Passing the Time which opens in a bluesy fashion show something of the whimsy quite commonly found in Prog (and Proto-Prog). Rather bombastic songs like Tales of Brave Ulysses (off Disreali Gears - 1967) and White Room have something of an early prog pedigree to me too. |

Cream took part in the beginnings of progress from more normal music, I think, and I reckon Cream deserves credit for that. It would have been very interesting to see what they'd have been doing in the 70s, if they'd have carried on until then, and how they'd have reacted to progressive rock.

If you mean bigger as in success, I think Dylan would win there.

A non-prog band that I've been listening to quite a lot in recent times is Foals. I don't know if they've become my favourite non-prog band, but they certainly have impressed me with their music.

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.

I gotta go with everything Chris Cornell has done (except Scream). Soundgarden, Temply of the Dog, Audioslave, and much of the solo stuff. I am of the personal opnion that his 1999 solo record Euphoria Morning is something a progressive rock album in and of itself.

Plus his brother was a singer in a prog band back in the 90's. I always thought SG had some prog elements at least. Very good band regardless.

Just one? No can do ... but a few artists (not necessarily 'bands' per se) that are up there include:
The Police, Dire Straits, Big Country, early Gary Numan, Yaz (or Yazoo, depending on where you're from), Kraftwerk (are they in here?), Devo, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Michael Hedges, Christopher Parkening, Julian Bream, John Williams (from Sky but as a solo artist), and Andre Segovia ... but the list is pretty much endless ... If I had to list every metal, punk, new wave, soul, blues, jazz, fusion, funk, classical, and disco band/artist that I liked, it would fill pages and pages and you would become even more bored reading it than you are right now. Chances are ... if you say ... "Well, what about bla bla bla?" ... then I'll probably either say something like ... "Oh yeah! You rock!" with my two thumbs up, or "What a bunch of posers!" with my cringe-face. Edited by Jaketejas - August 10 2020 at 16:12 |

If we're traveling a long way from prog, for me it's Tom Waits or Igor Stravinsky. I'm also among the many here that enjoy Led Zep and Cream. Also a fan of Alice Cooper.

The Deep Freeze Mice. A band that was rejected by the archives. I consider them to be prog, but for this site they are not.

Status Quo was the first concert I went to. I agree with you about classical. If I'm listening to the radio it's usually classical and I go to as many classical concerts as I see prog/metal/rock bands.
