| I know that Jethro Tull has a few good Christmas songs, including that whole Christmas album in 2003 and Ring Out, Solstice Bells, and the Christmas Song. Greg Lake had "I Believe in Father Christmas." There was also Chris Squire's Swiss Choir. Are there any other prog bands or artists who did Christmas-like things? |

Marillion - Carol of the Bells is breathtaking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3x_qMcIRbdU ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

Not exactly prog, but certainly art-rock at its most absurd and fun - - https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&ved=0ahUKEwjv4PjKjsrQAhVKj1QKHZvSDWwQjRwIBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.giginjapan.com%2Fscan%2Fbea-chris.htm&psig=AFQjCNGNsvpDp7LpA7FDp6gPNeRZmHN6pw&ust=1480376545441430" rel="nofollow">  and of course - - https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&ved=0ahUKEwj9jr6Gj8rQAhXkgVQKHVEGCNUQjRwIBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.progressiveears.org%2Fforum%2Fshowthread.php%2F11728-Keith-Emerson-Christmas-Album&psig=AFQjCNEMfJt3B4JvTqGuzZgnCZ99UIt8bw&ust=1480376686809511" rel="nofollow">  ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F.

A few great moments on JA 3 Ships---still listen to it at Christmas---but my edited version. (Most Yes men records after 79 need editing lol)

I am not even remotely interested in Christmas albums, prog or not, but I found http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=819" rel="nofollow - this band that apparently has a preoccupation with the subject. -------------

Heh, at first I thought it might be about compiling some prog-related Christmas shopping wishlist, i.e. subscription to Prog magazine, some Hi-Fi upgrades or perhaps some nice reissues (newest Brain Salad Surgery is impressive indeed). But no, it's about some prog-carols, isn't it? Ah well, I don't know then, but I'm sure Neil Morse must have something on Christmas? ------------- Writing about truth is a little bit like getting your dick out in public and hoping no one laughs (Steve Hogarth) |

Not Christmas-like per se, but putting on Gryphon's Red Queen to Gryphon Three while decorating the Christmas tree or pretty much doing anything Christmas-related is something I love to do. There is just something really warm, Christmas-esque about that album. ------------- Categories strain, crack and sometimes break, under their burden - step out of the space provided. |
