Been waiting for this one! I think my votes went to Magma, Return To Forever, Khan, "Blackwater Park," And All Traps on Earth--though now that I look over the list again I wish I'd voted for Art Zoyd's brilliant epic suite (instead of Khan or Opeth). Thanks for posting this, Rollon! They're certainly gut-wrenching decision-making exercises! ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

Magma Rush Oldfield Marillion Blind Curve (if you include tracks around it, which flow into each other) Then, like, a 10-way tie for 5th. Lots of good stuff here. ------------- Z |

I'm not exactly sure why I find looking at these selections of songs that I haven't actually chosen myself, and the distribution of votes, in each of these polls, interesting. But I notice that I do. In PA's top albums I think there's a fine mix of old and new Progressive Rock. I find it to be a "nice enough" variety of musical approaches to what the term can be and mean as well. Not perfect, but still much better than every curated list of "essential prog albums" I've ever come across. Every track has eventually gotten at least a vote in the previous two (for 1-25/26 + 27-51) but I wonder why the songs at the "bottom" end up there. A song from a typical classic prog band will usually end up getting more votes than a song from an album ranked higher that's either a more recent release - or made somewhere outside of the anglosphere. So we've collectively ranked many from the latter two categories very high, but in general, when it comes to selecting songs like we do here, we vote "more conservatively". Why is that? -anyway as I only had a strong recollection of Rush' Xanadu, I relistened to all the four "epics" of theirs represented in these polls. Now I have even less respect for anyone that claim Rush were simply a solid "Hard Rock-band"*. Your opinion is wrong, and you need to get your ears - or your head checked. *and an additional respect for Rush, although they will never be "my kind of Prog-or Rock-band". |

Mu vote goes to Genesis and "Mad Mad Moon". It's a shame they never performed the song live. ------------- Progfan1958 "Peace to you all" "La paix est avec vous" "Pax vobiscum" "Al salaam a'alaykum" "Vrede zij met u allen" "Shalom aleichem" |

Rush was Rush, Yes was Yes, and Genesis was a two-faced entity (PG Era and NeoProg self-parody). As a kid, I never thought of Rush (or Pink Floyd, for that matter) as belonging to the same "club" as PG Genesis, Yes, Nektar, Renaissance, Focus, or GG: they just weren't symphonic, classically-related or operatic like the fore-mentioned. Even Supertramp and Todd Rundgren were more similar, in my friend group's valuation, to the symphonic artists than Rush. King Crimson, Zappa were there own thing--as was the whole Jazz-Rock Fusion thing--and Hawkwind, VDGG, and the entire RPI scene were literally unknown to me. That's just the way it was for a midwestern music lover who was lucky enough to have daily and weekly access to some of the USA's greatest, most diversified, progressive rock-leaning record stores in Michigan--like Record World (Petoskey), Boogie Records (Kalamazoo), Where House Records (East Lansing), Believe in Music (Grand Rapids), and, of course, Schoolkids Records (Ann Arbor). ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |
