 Topic: PPP - progressive pop pollPosted: August 12 2023 at 08:58 |
|
Recently I've been exploring some prog pop. I've tried to make a list with major artists. Some music is very interesting and some is not easy to listen to at all. Because of limitations of the poll I had to leave out some less known/popular examples like Mike Batt and Bob Drake...
Who is your favorite on the list? |

A lot of Supertramp's songs are super catchy.
I'm still deciding between APP, J&V and Kate Bush. |

"Who is your favourite artist" and "who does you favourite prog pop" are two different questions, particularly for those who love Talk Talk's last two albums that aren't pop by any means. They are among my absolute personal favourite artists but I won't vote for them here, even though The Colour of Spring can be seen as five star pop prog album. Kate Bush's music arguably more generally has some pop sensibility even though she has done great stuff in quite some distance from pop as well. She'll get my vote here, but I do agree on Supertramp's pop prog quality. Bjork, Beatles, David Bowie, 10cc are other good options.

Jon And Vangelis, but in terms of prog-pop I think Aphrodite's Child would have been a better fit. |

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

I seem to favour B artists (and B movies often). While I was very tempted to vote for Bush (Kate not a George), I voted for Bowie over Bush and Björk. Bent Knee is a B band I like that made progressive pop music.

Yes. Favorite from the list or this particular genre obviously (not overall). |

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Nice poll and list! Agree with some of the missing artists--and found it hard to vote against Kate or Björk but went with Supertramp.
