A lot of things I want to add here, but Uli Trepte probably deserves a bit more history and appreciation, although some of the reviews simply want to hear ... just another song ... and the early days of Uli and then band Guru Guru were anything but about a "song" ... it was all a monster trip!


I still find this incredible, and along with YETI, and TAGO MAGO, probably the best and most incredible albums of those days and its history ... incredible work and concentration on getting these things done, and how they came out. There is another version on a Live CD from 1971, I think, that is even better.

I'm not sure that this could be done with another bass player or guitar person ... and there are no words for Mani's performances in those days.

This is the kind of thing that most bands are afraid of ... music that goes ... heaven knows where, but lives so beautifully ... no lyrics necessary!

we're expected to post a song from a band not featured on PA, or non-prog, or have I misunderstood? 

so your band does not qualify if I am right...

Hi,

Removed ... the posting was more about the style that was never really developed because too many "fans" think they own the music!

I have about 15 things I wanted to post, but thought something that is left behind, and much more important would make better sense ... I've totally lost interest ... and I was invited. Sorry JB

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I was going to suggest Nick Drake's "River Man",but while not in PA, I do consider it to be Prog Folk related. If you think that fits, you can add it.



Otherwise, Cat Stevens "Trouble" is a favourite of mine and I would just as happily see that as my choice (even if Cat Stevens is rather Prog Folk related).



Perhaps my link should be direct off Mona Bone Jakon, but to me that song is so heavily associated with Harold & Maude and that makes it so poignant to me.

Moshkito,
The spirit of this interactive poll is that PA members will be able to listen to one of our favorite songs they probably don't know (that's why I said not to choose prog/proto-prog/progrelated song here in PA).
And then to vote, and see who gets the most votes.

It's a way to share some of our favorite songs. Maybe someone will discover some artists he didn't know and who might like them very much.

------------

To Logan:

Riverman is fit!

^ Perhaps I should go for something more obscure then. ^ EDIT: Okay, great! Though I'd entitle it "River Man" rather than "Riverman" despite how the youtube vid names it.

If you have a little-known song in mind that you like as much as Riverman, okay. But if you prefer to keep Riverman, no problem.

I adore "River Man", so if you'll take it, I'm happy with that. I didn't know it until a few years ago.

Yes, wonderful song!

There are a lot of beautiful songs here.

Whoever wins will have to do a penance: explain to us how he discovered the author of his song, and explain the love he has for him, what are the emotions that his music gives him.

I must say I have really enjoyed listening to every single one of these selections.  I think we should continue this thread after the first fifteen are voted on.  I know I would keep contributing as there are a lot of artists putting out exceptional music that typically get ignored, and since we all love prog, we can all benefit from hearing what other PA members love that isn't progressive. 
 
I vote we continue these polls!  Hopefully we can get others interested.

Hmmm..  well their 2nd album keeps me company in the death machine going back and forth to work ...  a big toast to Virginians.. kicking it old school...

Interesting thread and tracks.......
I'm a big fan of early west coast folk/psych/country/blues rock...bands like Buffalo Springfield, CSN, Poco, Kak, early Grateful Dead, etc...and these guys ..2 remarkable lp's...imho....maybe this will fit in an eclectic list.
They also did more folky blues things but they could really rock. (IMHO The Eagles stole their sound....made it more commercial and became rich)

Enjoy...

Agree. Quite hard to nominate just one, I already have a well filled waiting list. And yeah, some good stuff here!

Ok, three more songs and then we'll vote! 

Three votes per per person, possibly we should write for whom we vote! 

But first, if we manage to involve three other members between today and tomorrow we will get 15 songs!

One question, do we vote for our own nomination in our top 3 ?  
I'm sorry, if you were right, I'd agree with you. Robin Williams.

I agree!! You should make a poll to vote that we keep this going LOL. Maybe shorten it to 10 selections, new batch every week.

You vote for your top 3. Presumably, that will include your own track, but not necessarily. I'm guessing that most people will vote that way, anyway. Some people have even preemptively voted for their own track.
 
 
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

I agree. And I'd put another rule: it is not allowed to vote for your own song.

Yeah, 15 seemed to me as betting a bit too much on loads of people turning up in this non-prog area of the forum, and also, as good as listening to new music always is, I find the time to go through 10 much easier than through 15.
