Has it really been two months since the last Now That's What I Call Prog compilation? Thanks to a timely reminder from Moshkito, Now That's What I Call Prog 1970 is finally here. It's your chance to put together an ideal prog compilation of 20 popular prog classics by 20 different artists that will hopefully appeal to the entire family, including your granny. But will it be a million seller winner
 or a charity shop bargain binner?
 Now That's What I Call Prog 1970 Atomic Rooster - Tomorrow Night Barclay James Harvest - Dark Now My Sky Black Widow - Sacrifice Caravan - Can't Be Long Now Colosseum - Daughter of Time Curved Air - Vivaldi Deep Purple - Child in Time Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Lucky Man Genesis - White Mountain Jethro Tull - Inside King Crimson - In the Wake of Poseidon The Moody Blues - Question Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother Procol Harum - Whaling Stories Rare Bird - You Want to Know Soft Machine - Moon in June Spooky Tooth - I Am the Walrus Uriah Heep - Come Away Melinda Van der Graaf Generator - Darkness (11/11) YES - Time and a Word

The year I was born.
 Maybe the first full year of prog? I guess that's debatable.Not sure I can "spit out" 20 tracks from this year (most of my prog is modern or modernish). Btw, TYA was released in 1971.

Hi, I trimmed the list some ... these were the ones I remember from hearing things in either radio in Madison, WI (FM stuff!!!) or in a party or two. Some of the other stuff was not exactly known or heard until later. Genesis, for example, was not quite "visible" until at least one more year or two, and by 1972 they were definitely visible. YES was the same thing ... not specially heard until Roundabout hit is, though I picked up the album the minute I heard "I've Seen All the Good People" .... on the radio, in Southern California. Jethro Tull was well represented then, as was ELP, Procol Harum, Moody Blues. I don't recall having heard BJH at that time, or Caravan ... though I got into BJH when I heard the song "Mockingbird" ... and Caravan not at all, until much later. Rare Bird was not exactly a hit band, but had nice stuff. Spooky Tooth was not "great" but it had a certain touch that made folks listen ... and eventually it got way better. The only thing missing from the listing is the American stuff at the time. In Madison, some bands from the midwest were well received ... Crow, James Gang, Chicago, Sons of Champlin, Steve Miller Band ... and many others, that we don't exactly consider "progressive" but they were important to the development of the music during its time. But it was at this time that the FM Radio band, really started and a listing like yours really brings up a lot of the stuff that helped make what we eventually called "progressive" from a really poor worded definition.

^ Ironically, the only song on my list I was familiar with back in 1970 was the Moody Blues "Question". I had to wait forty years to discover the other nineteen songs on my list after going online in 2010.

Hi, You done really well, in picking up and learning things and some history. My only wish is that the fan base appreciated the time and place a lot more ... some of the music makes a lot more sense in that perspective, not from an invisible idea about song creativity. Most of it, other than the stupid stuff like yummy yummy bs, was still radio crap hits. I think that too many folks look at yesterday's music as a bunch of songs that were not "hits" or had the following that their favorite cats, do! One might, for example, go over the lists of number one hits from 1966 to 1973/1974, by which time, the radio hit factory was starting to die out big time ... and FM radio was now available in affordable stereo systems and everyone got one. In America, there should be two maybe 3 of these as NY/SF and Midwest vary a heck of a lot. Thus the "national" Variety lists, are worthless and distort the reality of the music all over the country. Remember that most of the stuff you listed was FM related, as most of them did not have a "hit" to be played on the AM radio band, and it wasn't until the STEREO systems, (cheap or otherwise) finally took hold during this time, which really helped. Now you hear this stuff in a stereo split in two speakers, and it is far out ... yo never got that on the AM radio signal. AM tried to go stereo much later but the conversions were too expansive and it was dropped like a brick really fast.

I actually like the "stupid yummy yummy stuff".  |

Hi, I don't dislike the song ... what bothers me is how a lot of this early stuff (same with rap today here in America!!!) ... takes away the younger listener to a point .... for the sake of sales and a record company, or two, that tried hard to continue with "hits" to make sure that the FM radio dial did not get ahead so fast ... it didn't matter, in America, FM radio was like a wildfire ... and the new music it showed was something that the Internet could not even imagine ... and gave us a lot of what we have today. There were other gimmicky songs ... but that one always stuck in my mind ... and ______ in Madison rubbing his crotch and going "yummy yummy ... " really made the point even better, even though it brought the "innocent" hit song, into a level that was not at all what it wanted to do. BTW, Paul ... all you are missing is the albums that many groups put together ... I still have the GTO's album!
