Hello. For some time now, I've been listening to a lot of avant-rock and metal, and I've realized that I've neglected traditional progressive rock. Could you recommend me some lesser-known bands from the '70s from the symphonic, eclectic, heavy, and RPI progressive scenes?

I own it but haven't heard it yet and that is the self titled album from England. Also: Cathedral - Stained Glass Stories Comus - First Utterance Lift - Caverns of Your Brain Biglietto Per Linferno - Same (one album for a very long time) Semiramis - Dedicato D'AFrazz (ditto from above) Cherry Five - Same (although they did morph into Goblin) Epidauraus- Earthly Paradise (great obscure German band who had one later album but this one is a classic) There's really a lot but for some reason I'm drawing a blank on most. Others on here will give you much more than I can. I'm just wondering they should be one shot bands though? There are tons of great lesser known bands who did more than just one album. |

Those are obscure classics. Biglietto per L'Inferno, Dedicato a Frazz, and Cherry Five are incredible albums. I can't say the same about the Cathedral one. Quite boring. Comus and Epidaurus are two I still need to check out, and I've never heard of Lift. Noted. Thank u
No, not really. I don't know why I wrote that. Also, 'little-known 70's prog bands' is almost synonymous with 'one-shot bands.' P.S.: I also had the misfortune of listening to Garden Shed by England... Very boring

| Well, I disagree with most obscure bands being one shot bands. You could actually say most prog bands are obscure and many are not one shot bands. I'm really not sure where you got that idea from. For example Greenslade and Fruupp are both pretty obscure and both put out four albums. |
