Topic: The All Tme top 500 Progrock Tracks Posted: July 12 2005 at 15:15
<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I am trying to compile the all time top 500 progrock tracks.
let me know what you think of my selection.
If you reckon i've made any glaring omissions, please Tell me
and vote for your top Ten progrock tracks thank you.
please vote for your own favourite progrock songs if thire not included
in this top ten. I know thire are many essential mind - blowing tracks
that were not included from The moody Blues,Focus,Gentle Giant,IQ,
Vander Graaf Generator,Mike oldfield,Hakwind,Flower Kings etc
I know i am mad for asking but your own top ten progrock songs would
be very much appreciated.
I will then post the all time time top 500 progrock songs on this forum
thank you.
It's really hard so choose a best track, for several reasons. The first reason would be the length of the songs, Karn Evil 9 is a complete side with 8 minutes from side A, which, altough it's the same song, has three complete diferent parts; now, Comfortably Numb is only a 6 minutes song that is a part from the Wall part 2. What i'm saying is that songs like Supper's Ready or Close to the Edge make half an album, and a song like Aqualung belongs to a album concept. It was fun trying to rate tracks and very difficult to not choose tracks like Anne of Cleves - Rick Wakeman wich i couldn't separate from the whole album. Anyway here's my list.

Hmm...i think that supper's ready, shine on you crazy diamond, close to the edge, and gates of delirum really are great strong example of prog rock.

Taking as the rule that any track by a band/artist listed in the
archives ia a prog track, and that bands/artists not listed in the
archives do not qualify, my top10 is:
1. Mad man moon (Genesis)
2. Shine on you crazy diamond (Pink Floyd)
3. Kayleigh (Marillion)
4. Carpet crawlers (Genesis)
5. Forbidden colours (David Sylvian)
6. The cinema show/Aisle of plenty (Genesis)
7. San Jacinto - live (Peter Gabriel)
8. Niniane - Lady of the lake (Kayak)
9. Don't give up (Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush)
10. Dancing with the moonlit knight (Genesis)
that was a tuff choice it is a tide for me between shine, close,supper, and the musical box wha, that is too hard they are all excellent songs for me with the exception of lady fantasy that song should'nt be there.

I see you opened a new thread, which seems rather pointless to me. Moreover, although you still ask people to post alternatives options, you have made it a poll only, so we cannot post there.....
