 Topic: most prog friendly nonprog tune pre poll-
Posted: April 11 2004 at 16:08 |
I want to start a poll to find the most prog friendly nonprog tune, but before I nominate all MY favourites ( as so often seems to happen in other polls) I'd like to canvas your opinions.
As "Prog", and therefore "nonprog" seem impossible to define in a way on which everyone can agree I will offer the following definition: Artists not listed in the prog archives.
A good example might be, say,
"Kashmir", "No Quarter", (Led Zep), or
"the Prophet Song", "Brighton Rock", "Bohemian Rhapsody",(Queen).
What about "I Cheat the Hangman" (the Doobie Brothers)
"Am I Evil" (Diamond Head) .......(there ya go Certif1ed! )
anything from "Peasants, Pigs and Astronauts" (Kula Shaker)
side 2 of "Low", (David Bowie)....
Come on, let's have some suggestions

Deep Purple's "Child in time"
Grateful Dead's "Terrapin' station"
Joe Jackson's "Symphony n° 1" (actually all the record)
Joe Satriani's "Banana mango pt II" (with stunning drum work by the great Simon Phillips)
Kate Bush's "the fog" (feat. a sublime violin work by Nigel Kennedy)
Gordon Giltrap's "Peacock party" (entire album)

Thats the stuff Lucas, and as for Paprika Plains, I think the whole album (Don Juan's Wreckless Daughter) is a masterpiece, especially due to the stunning bass of Jaco Pastorius.
p.s. "Hotta","Toccata" (Sky)

And there are two more.
How about the OUTLAWS - "Green Grass And High Tide"?
and the EAGLES - "Journey Of The Sorcerer"?

Great suggestions litter this thread, ('specially Zep's "Achilles' Last Stand", Bebop Deluxe, the Stranglers (though no one mentioned Golden Brown..Harpsichord, odd and often changing time signature, how prog friendly do you want?) Even noticed Dire Straits in there (I remember hearing "Private Investigation" for the first time as a prog mad schoolboy and thinking, hello, where are these guys heading?? Their next single "Twisting By The Pool" soon answered that question though!!!).
A poll seems a little redundant now, but here's a couple more contenders;
Red Hot Chili Pepers-"Breaking the Girl"
Wishbone Ash-"the Pilgrim".
Weather Report-all of "Heavy Weather".
Jamiroquai-"Music of the Mind". (Jazz fussion instrumental.)
Steve Vai-"Little Green Men",or "Call it Sleep" from Flex-able.
Supergrass-"Moving"
Anybody out like Kula Shaker btw? Much more prog than Britpop but they got lumped in with the mid 90's Blur/Oasis/Supergrass crowd, somewhat unfairly in my view.
