I'll define a non prog song as being by an artist/band not in the archives.... in order of preference: 1. Jesse (Janis Ian) For more, see my home page. EDIT: I might as well go for top 50 while I am at it.... 11. Baker street (Gerry Rafferty) ------------- Blog this: http://artrock2006.blogspot.com |

-Fancy Colours-Chicago (Chicago's I-VII+Live in Japan=Prog) -Aja-Steely Dan (Couldn't decide on one, but this song is perhaps the zenith of their jazz-pop craftsmanship...prog fans check out their material at once!) -Baba O'Reilly-The Who (What prog fan doesn't love Tommy, Who's Next, and Quadrophenia?) -Suite on Side Two of Abbey Road-The Beatles (This may be cheating, but its all the reasons why they were great) -Everyone-Van Morrison (Astral Weeks and Moondance sure as hell aren't prog, but their fusion of jazz, blues, pop, soul, and rock were daring and groundbreaking in their own right) -Take Five-Dave Brubeck Quartet (Most trad-jazz is way over my head, but I just love the way he combined great melody with stunning rythmic experiments on the Time Out lp) -The Epic-Pat Methany (Some of his work verges on new age drivel, but on American Garage, the musicianship is great and the composition better. I would actually classify this album as prog, and if you want to argue with me, listen to this 12-minute opus.) -God Only Knows-The Beach Boys (Pet Sounds and Smiley Smile stand alongside the Beatles later work in my eyes as the logical stepping stones to art rock, if not quite there in subject matter and in musicianship, on the mark in techniques and mindset.) -Surf's Up-Brian Wilson (Maybe this is cheating since it was written for the Beach Boys, but this song needs to be heard to be believed) -Suite: Judy Blue Eyes-Crosby Stills and Nash (I'm a sucker for great harmonies, and its in a suite! What more could you expect from a non-prog group?) |

Are you suggesting that And You And I isn't prog? I can see where you're coming from with Carpet Crawlers, but there's no way that AYAI isn't prog. -------------

I agree - I was copying the list from my PDA and by the time I got to 10, I'd forgotten that it was supposed to be a non-prog Top 10. I would therefore remove Carpet Crawlers and And You And I and replace them with Electrolyte (REM) and Sweet Thing (Van the Man). |

Nice choice at number 2 - an obscure but very good Beatles song. Number 5 is cool too. |
