I wanna know what are you guys' favorite deep cuts/dark horses off famous prog staples. Or just underrated tracks that don't get enough love. They don't necessarily have to be top 100 on PA or anything, but just off relatively known albums. Ill start with a list of about 10 favorites:
These are just a few of my favorites, and I really think these songs should get more love. Some of em (Summer '68, The Face, Alaska) are a little more surface level but still criminally underrated. What are you guys' thoughts? |

Argent - n/a Genesis - it's ok but the Knife is heads and shoulders above the rest Alpha T - n/a Tilt - n/a Earth Band - I don't know that particular album well enough Floyd - I feel the band are trying to pull off some comedic element on this one and it comes off forced - not a favorite. Nektar - I agree it's underrated GG - that whole album is consistent but probably seeded no. 5 on my list (testament to the band really!) UK - I think it's rated properly and I'm glad it is! Yes - that album is a mixed bag but Prophet doesn't move me in the slightest tbh (sorry ((

I Love Time and a Word, (The Song) of Yes's shorter songs (under 5min) it's probably my second favorite ------------- 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... |

Floyd - Honestly, Shine on You Crazy Diamond 6-9 feels like a deep cut from Wish You Were Here, The Wall has many great deep cuts, I'm going to go with Waiting for the Worms or The Trial GG - Not Sure how much of a deep cut, but I Love the song Dog's Life Genesis - Most of the Stuff off of TLLDOB, but I really like 'Anyways' How about Mike Oldfield's Platinum Suite, Part 3 Charleston, freakin love that song. Yes - Wondrous Stories, To Be Over, Mood for a Day, Time and a Word off the top of my head ------------- 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... |

- Gong - Zero The Hero And The Witch's Spell (Flying Teapot) Caravan - As I Feel I Die (If I could do it all over again, I'd do it all over you) VdGG - Whatever Would Robert Have Said (Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other) Magma - Ki Ïahl Ö Lïahk (1001° Centigrades) Renaissance - The Vultures Fly High (Scheherazade And Other Stories) while I do have some issues with the title track, this other story is a perfect little ditty. Peter Hammill - The Lie (Bernini's Saint Theresa) (The Silent Corner And The Empty Stage) Comus - The Bite (First Utterance) Jethro Tull - For a Thousand Mothers (Stand Up) -just awesome energy and drive The Mothers of Invention - Invocation and Ritual Dance of the Young Pumpkin (Absolutely Free) Gentle Giant - An Inmates Lullaby (In a Glass House) -it represents a certain kind of playfulness in sound I miss from them after Phil left. -agree with the already mentioned: A Pillow of Winds (& Summer '68, really) and White Mountain |

| I can mostly think of Pink Floyd and Yes. From Pink Floyd, things like Remember a Day, Julia Dream, Mudmen, The Hero's Return (parts 1 AND 2). From Yes, things like Harold Land, Run Through the Light, Holy Lamb, Shock to the System, The More we Live Let Go, Be the One. |

I love Can Utility. One of the most underrated Genesis songs of all time. I'm actually seeing Steve Hackett live in November on his Foxtrot Tour, so I can't wait to see it live. "Survival," is also a favorite of mine, but I feel like it is well appreciated in the community (and rightfully so).

Great picks man! I always considered "Aspirations" to be more of a fan favorite off that album but I can see it being a little more obscure since Kerry Minear is singing. Dusk and Can Utility are awesome and definitely need more appreciation in the greater Genesis fanbase. "Twilight Alehouse," is actually a really interesting pick here. I completely forgot this song existed so I went back and listened to it, and it's amazing. "Leaf and Stream," is one of my favorite Wishbone Ash songs, and I listen to it a lot when I sleep. "Aristillus," is also a really nice song. Definitely didn't expect to see "Pictures of home" on here but I love the drum work from Ian Paice on here (and as always the Jon Lord organ :).

You'd be shocked actually. The Trespass album is absolutely loaded with some of the greatest Genesis deep cuts. "Visions of Angels," and "Stagnation," are my two favorites, coupled with the more well known, "Looking for Someone." I recently picked it up on vinyl and I've been wearing it out.

I agree. I was once in the "Knife is the best" category and then I really listened to that whole album. It's up there with anything they ever did in the Gabriel era. Stagnation in particular is just massive. ------------- We all dwell in an amber subdomain, amber subdomain, amber subdomain. My face IS a maserati |

I have long felt that Side Two of TFTO ("The Remembering - High the Memory") was a deep cut that was very much under-appreciated. It has some of the best vocals & instrumentals on the entire LP!

Yes - Perpetual Change -The Yes Album Yes - Southside of the sky -Fragile
Yes - Parallels -Going for the One Genesis - The Lady Lies - And then there were three Genesis - Cul De Sac - Duke Genesis - Lilywhite Lilyth and grand parade of lifeless packaging from Lamb King Crimson - Epitaph from "Court" King Crimson -The entire albums from ITWOP to Discipline  ELP - Title track to Trilogy - Trilogy ELP- The Barbarian - First album Jethro Tull - My God - Aqualung Kansas - The Wall, Cheyenne Anthem and Miracles out of Nowhere from Leftoverture The Moody Blues - too many to mention but a few favorites are candle of life, minstrel song, you and me, my song, so deep within you and the actor. Rush - circumstances, entre nous, Jacob's Ladder, Camera Eye, Witch Hunt, Losing It, In the End. With Rush it's difficult to say what the deep tracks are because even the so called lesser known songs are appreciated by the fans. Is YYZ or Xanadu a lesser known song? Maybe only to someone who has only heard their radio songs. |

Pandora probably plays everything though. I don't think they have a dj arbitrarily choosing which ones are good (or popular) and which ones aren't. I've never heard any of those on regular radio (or at least not in a very, very long time). Plus they would be very likely to be played by Sirius XM's deep tracks channel.

It's among King Crimson's three - or at least five most popular, easiest recognized and treasured songs. It's really one of Progressive Rock most iconic and "famous" songs of all time. This single is ranked no. 12 of all time on RYM (and 1. for 1976, when it was released). Epitaph is about as far from a deep cut you can get.  |
Posted By: Epignosis

Absolutely. It's a top five pick for me, and Squire said it was some of his most inspired bass playing.

Pandora is very oddly formulaic in the sense that the more times you frequent their stations, the more of the same tracks you get played to you! For a progger, this is the opposite of what I'm looking for. If Pandora plays ''everything'', it's definitely not prog. And no, they do not have a DJ for that. If you mean Radio Radio, then you get mainstream, and that is certainly not ELP or Crimson. Prog stations tend to play the "standouts" for the most part - I'm sure on that part. I don't know anything about Sirius XM though

"Pictures of a City" on Poseidon. I saw KC perform this live, it was remarkable....Jakko on vocals was very impressive, and Mel Collins, well.... Yeah, I know, "Schizoid Man Part 2," not as good as SM, etc. etc. This was the stage, 26 Sept 2014 in Chicago....  ------------- I am not a Robot, I'm a FREE MAN!! |

RE my choice of Epitaph (I won't quote both posts for the sake of brevity): Among prog fans no Epitaph isn't a deep cut but then you could say the same about "the great deceiver,""starless" and other King Crimson songs. The op wasn't clear about this but since this song has probably(or coud be) played on the deep tracks channel like I already stated it seemed like fair game to me. The title track to the first KC album and schizoid man are also deep tracks to most classic rock fans and in general but not to prog fans imo. But Epitaph being less known seemed like a better choice to me. Heck, I even talked to a guy old enough to know about KC but never even heard of them. But prog fans know a lot more than just Epitaph trust me. But again I'm going by the general rock audience and not prog fans (If I was doing the latter then I would certainly agree with the gripes about it not being a deep track). When I said "everything" I meant any random song by a prog band and they seem to only play the major prog bands and nothing too obscure (based on what I've seen). Anyway, we all have our opinions on this so really no sense in arguing about it and going around in circles. EODAFAIC.

^No it's not really about different opinions. The thing is, you don't know what a deep cut means, so let me explain: A deep cut is a song that is less widely played and less well-known than other songs on the same album or by the same artist |
Posted By: AFlowerKingCrimson
Date Posted: October 08 2023 at 13:31
Different opinions about what a deep cut is. Someone mentioned Cinema by Yes. That won a grammy award for best instrumental so you could argue that isn't a deep cut either for that reason. Anyway, I know very well what a deep cut is. Maybe you don't. I listen to the deep tracks channel on Sirius XM regularly and so I obviously know what kind of things they play (and they play stuff more well known than KC). Also, I have listened to the reguar radio for over 40 years and rarely if ever heard any of the songs on my list on there including Epitaph but it qualifies anyway based on your statement of "less widely played" alone not to mention "played less than well known than the other songs on the album." I'm not going by pandora or internet radio because that's absurd imo. Anyway agree to disagree.

Love to see "Book of Saturdays" getting love. Wetton's performance on this song coupled with Fripp's guitar work is just outstanding. Still one of my favorite KC solos of all time at the end of the song.

Really interesting list! I'm familiar with "Fallen Angel,"(an absolutely majestic piece off Red) "Echoes," "The Song is Over,"(great selection, didn't expect to see the Who on this thread) and "Soapbox Opera,"(one of the most underrated Supertramp songs ever) but I actually don't know most of these. Just went and listened to a bunch off the songs off this list. Wow. "Galadriel," is beautiful, and Hackett's song "Take these Pearls" is an awesome ethereal piece. As someone who wasn't very familiar with Golden Earring I was caught off guard by the 2 9-minute epics on Moontan. I appreciate the knowledge.

| OK, here's a very weird one, specially for this site. Not quiet prog, I guess. Now, when I was at highschool I heard a little piece, very electronic, from a friend. It seems it was from an old vinyl or single from her mother. I liked it since then... now, it I thought she told me it was from Richard Clayderman... now, back then I didn't even know much from him (not that I know much more now, actually), but what little I might have looked from him certainly didn't sound like that... I was given a name, in spanish... but it happens its real name is in french. OK, when I finally found it, it happened to be called L'enfant et la Mer... I expect that little piece would count as a deep cut from his discography, but I really like that one (I still do, now that I heard it again), and though short, I guess it isn't totally out of place among things like Jeam Michel Jarre or other 70's electronic pieces. Now, sorry to bring up an artist like Clayderman here, I guess I might have caused a small glitch in the PA system. |

Its delightful isn't it. (sorry included an 's' at the end that shouldn't be there) I need to listen to that album more. I love Red but struggle to connect with LTIA for some reason. In answer to another post that suggested that Cinema is not a deep cut, my thinking is that Yes are not reknowned for 'instrumentals', well not in the same way that ELP for instance are. It's the only track off 90125 that I really love. Maybe Hearts would have been a better choice (?) |

Hi, It's impossible for me to list anything ... of 2K+ CD's and 1500 LP's ... there is way too much great music for me to say that I have a favorite cut from many albums ... and just the minute I find one, another shows up ... and I go nuts ... just recently I played Esperanto's Last Tango album, and that version of Eleanor Rigby is totally out of this world, and the track later "The Rape" is so excellent ... that you quickly forget many things that you have heard over 50 years of being with this stuff ... And I don't want to get into pee shooter contests about songs ... I usually listen to the albums, not just the songs, which makes it harder for me to select one thing out of the rest in the album! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

Indoor Games! awesome cut that my brother actually introduced me to. I thought it sounded a bit ridiculous with the horns when I first heard it, but I've grown on it a lot. "No Quarter," is another great selection. I'm not familiar with that version though so i'll check it out. Same goes for "Careful with that Axe," which is also love but I don't know that version.

I can see the argument that these are all deep cuts to non-prog fans, but in the context of this forum, a lot of these aren't "deep cuts." Epitaph, Trilogy, The Barbarian, and Jacob's Ladder (even Cheyenne Anthem) are pretty well known even to non-prog fans in the rock community. I do love to see the Genesis deep cuts you mentioned here (such as lilywhite lilith, grand parade, lady lies, and culdesac) and even South side of the Sky is awesome. I think the songs you mention here that stick out to me the most are "The Wall," and "Witch Hunt," which 100% need more recognition as staples of their respective artists' catalogs.

I'm enjoying this thread immensely! I haven't even thought about some of these songs in years, please keep it up! For the sake of PA, I'd suggest that our "deep cuts" are whatever we wish them to be, vs. what commercial streaming services dictate. In other words, songs that tend to be under-appreciated or un-mentioned for some reason or another. Take "Time Table" from Foxtrot. This song seems to draw faint praise on PA, but I find it to be a very charming nod to England's past, with some clever lyrics that tie the past to the future. ------------- I am not a Robot, I'm a FREE MAN!! |

Date Posted: October 09 2023 at 15:35
I completely agree with this right here. A lot of songs on this thread are just songs that are straight up under appreciated. Great take on "Time Table," by the way. I absolutely love this song, and I'm seeing it live next month at Hackett's 50th anniversary Foxtrot tour.

This list is pretty deep. Im not very familiar with a lot of these, but one I do know is "Inside Out." Recently I actually bought the rare "Spot the Pigeon," EP with other Genesis b-sides and singles such as "Pigeon" and "Match of the Day." I got it for barely $10 and its one of my favorite records. I will definitely listen to these and expand my own list :) ------------- "Together We Stand, Divided We Fall" |

Love to see the two Genesis cuts you mentioned. "Harlequin" is beautiful and one of my favorites off Nursery Cryme. I've never seen "Just a Job To Do" mentioned anywhere and man am I happy to see it. Great insight with that pick dude. "Arriving UFO," is also a joy to listen to, but I was a little taken aback by "Luficer Sam," I'm not a huge fan.

"Open Secrets" is my favorite song on HYF. Another fine deep cut from that album is "Prime Mover," warts and all.Another deep (post-Waters) Floyd cut I dig is "Yet Another Movie" from AMLoR. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

Great selection MortSahlFan! Love Chicago VII. Here's a cut from one of their more famous works. The song overall isn't a deep cut, but seeing as it was split into 6 movements on the remaster, some parts are super under appreciated.
------------- "Together We Stand, Divided We Fall" |

"Then" is absolutely awesome. I love the symphonic aspect of the track. "The Lamia," is one of my favorite Genesis deep cuts ever. Absolutely beautiful song, definitely needs more notoriety. ------------- "Together We Stand, Divided We Fall" |

"Fox Hill," is awesome. Kinda gives me an old English "Trick of the Tail," vibe. It makes me feel happy to see Iron Maiden somewhere on this thread, and especially to see a song off "Wasted Years" mentioned. Here's something similar to that song (Awesome proggy deep cut off "Powerslave") ------------- "Together We Stand, Divided We Fall" |

Agree with you about the Camel's track About Iron Maiden I’m not familiar with their discography except the song called Paschendaele. I can't say it is a IM's deep cut However this is an awesome piece of music.

I definitely recommend checking out IM! They have a lot of closet-prog songs that most fans just overlook and deem "Metal." In all truth Iron Maiden has a ton of proggy deep cuts. A lot of prog heads can't just enjoy good music that isn't eclectic for some reason, but here's a list of some of my favorite proggy (albeit heavy) IM songs:
Hope you enjoy listening  ------------- "Together We Stand, Divided We Fall" |

| ^ yep IM are legends and basically a 'closet prog band'. I remember their interviews in the 80's and they didn't shy away from comparisons to 70's bands such as Pink Floyd and Yes. The synth you mention is guitar synths (no keys!) which they started using on Somewhere In Time with a clear intention to broaden their sound. Worked (!) , although my favourite album by them is probably still Powerslave. |

They are all still deep cuts in my opinion. Also, Cheyenne Anthem isn't really anymore well known than The Wall. Yes, you could say some of these are well known to most prog fans but you could say that about any song from a well known album and also ones others here have suggested. Anyway, it's all in good fun (or at least it should be).

Don't know where it was released (or if it was at all) but here's a version of Iron Maiden playing Hocus Pocus by Focus (during the yodeling parts they just yell random gibberish which is hilarious). I think it was a DVD special or something like that. ------------- "Together We Stand, Divided We Fall" |

Great picks here particularly the two IM cuts and "Mudmen" from Floyd. The Hackett Song is alright, but I feel as though "Bad Girl," is pretty basic for Rainbow. IMO a much better deep cut by them is "Gates of Babylon," of Long Live Rock N' Roll. Its awesome and very progressive. ------------- "Together We Stand, Divided We Fall" |

This great deep cut from Rainbow is the last song on the last album with Joe Lynn Turner as vocalist. Then Deep Purple reactivated. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

| ^ Entangled and The Camera Eye are great tracks , much admired and talked about. Not deep cuts in any way whatsoever. Alexander The Great is the centre peice of Maiden's (arguably) first prog album. I was told off for including Cinema earlier in the thread! (I also mentioned Whe The Tigers Broke Free. Only heard it for the first time on the Echoes complilation and was not originally included on The Final Cut but later appeared on reissues and the compilation) |

^That's ok. I was told off for pretty much my entire post! Lol. I personally don't see how Entangled and Camera Eye aren't deep tracks unless we are talking just among the hardcore prog fanbase (which we all are anyway). But let's say for arguments sake they aren't deep cuts. In that case robbery, assault and battery and different strings (or maybe vital signs if we have to stick to the same album) would be better choices although not necessarily to Genesis and Rush fans!
