Nope...not PF's the Wall, But the dreaded EARWORM syndrome.
Below is a list that might resonate with some of you after just reading the titles. I'm sorry to have subjected you to this if you can't get them out of your head later. Big smile

But what about the genre we all know and love so much. Are there any prog earworms? I can think of a few.
What are your progressive earworms?

It's always about specific snippets rather than a whole song of course. And I think these have that quality in parts. I notice that they do just by thinking about them while I type really.

Van der Graaf Generator - Killer
Gentle Giant - Wreck
Jethro Tull - Aqualung
Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene Part 4
Tangerine Dream - Stratosfear
King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King
Genesis - The Knife
Focus - Hocus Pocus
Kraftwerk - The Robots

Here are a few I find Earworm'ish.
Remember, these are tunes that once heard just seem to stick in your head.

Edwin - And You



Genesis - Invisible Touch




THE TUBES - TALK TO YA LATER

ive had either Aqualung or Wondrous Stories stuck in my head for the past week.

I still hold the opinion the Wondrous Stories is the peak example of 70s Prog meets Pop
The Wheel of Time Turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the shadow.

Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time...

Several songs off Solaris' Marsbéli Krónikák are hummers for, an example being Marsbéli Krónikák IV-VI



Beggars Opera - Time Machine:


Many songs from the band Present, an example being The Limping Little Girl


Here's one from Eloy, End of an Odyssey

i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag
that's a happy bag of lettuce
this car smells like cartilage
nothing beats a good video about fractions

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Big Big Train - The Transit Of Venus Across the Sun (the main melody line that builds is incredible and is in my head a lot)
(Hedgerow is also a very good one , almost everything off English Electric Pt1 is in earworm territory)

Dave Kerzner - Nothing (I find this in my head whenever I'm out walking. Lyrics are very much of a pop sensibility but the arrangement and production is massive)
