1980s Prog: 1981

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   By 1981, I had lost almost all hope of hearing a good level prog record. Even the Italians seemed to be lacking. During that time, I came back to jazz and especially to Miles Davis. It's true that I didn't know all these records.  Today, I would say that However and Exodus are my favorites on this list.

	I picked Los Jaivas but hadn't noticed Metheny/Mays album. It would have been a tough choice
