Imagine it's your wedding (or you have chance for second wedding, strangily enough some progfans are married, I never quite really understood how that happened), it's the great day, and your bride or groom is indeed a progfan (fat chance, but let's dream). Furthermore (it is very unlikely from this point) you have opportunity to hire any progressive band you like and create the setlist (you are terribly rich or progressive artist yourself). Who would you pick? I myself will choose Marillion with Fish on vocal and ask them to play "Cinderella Search" and "Lavender" ------------- yet you still have time! |

I wouldn't ask any prog band of any kind in fact, i'd ask Slipknot. Just for the pure laugh ------------- My computer's broke |

haha.
I'd probably get Genesis with Gabriel and have them play their whole discography 1971-1974. Then I would get Yes to play their stuff from 1971-1977. Then Gentle Giant to play from aquiring the taste - interview. Then Jethro Tull to play all of Thick as a Brick.
It would be a long wedding. -------------

I'd call classic Amon Düül II and Magma. Only people who really loves me would stay at the party. Then, as a prize for their fidelity, I'd ask any disco cover group to play all night long, while me and my wife would be flying to our honeymoon.
PS: I'm married and I never, NEVER, went at a party where at least 50 % of the music played could satisfy my ears - and I really like a lot of 60 and 70 pop stuff, classic hard rock and metal. |

My wife and I had a young band on our wedding (music students) and they also played some prog. Oh, and we both love prog. If I could choose a prog band then I think I'd invite (in bold are bands I really want to attend): Phish - Reba, Stash and Guelah papyrus Rush - anything from A Farewell To Kings Opeth - anything from Damnation, The Apostle In Triumph,Blackwater Park and Ghost Of Perdition The Mars Volta - whatever they want to play Camel - all of Mirage Wobbler Hidria Spacefolk - whatever they want Orphaned Land - I'd ask them to play their acoustic versions of their songs like they did on their bonus cd of Mabool. Echolyn, Glass Hammer and Finisterre

Can't remember clearly... it was in past century, a long long time ago. My wife chose the musical score and it was full of Ave Marias and that stuff. I got to insert the 'Concierto de Aranjuez' (Rodrigo) but I don't remember if it played or not. If I had to marry again I'd choose 'Harold the barrel'. ------------- Guigo ~~~~~~ |

Incase I get to nervous at the last minute I would have a certain signal for the band. Right at the moment when the bride is asked if she is sure she wants to marry me and if I don't want her to, all I have to do is give the band my signal and they would play, She'll take it back, by Pink Floyd. ------------- We got to pump the stuff to make us tough from the heart Its astart What we need is awareness we cant get careless Mental self defensive fitness Make everybody see in order to fight the powers that be |

Wow, you people are amazing, and my Fish-era Marillion is so humble - so they probably should be warm up for Van Der Graaf Generator, especially La Rossa and Lost And Found played before the night ------------- yet you still have time! |

Id get Dream Theater and get them to play their set from their 'an evening with...' London show this year (plus Dark side as classic album), Threshold to proform a mix of stuff but htey must have echoes of life in the set list (i love that track) bar that they can choose and then Coheed and Cmabria to really get the party going with their proggy-pop-punky rock. ------------- Prog is music for the mind Hear your Orphaned child!

new material that they had just written. Though it would never happen it would be an unforgetable experience. ------------- One likes to believe In the freedom of music But glittering prizes And endless Compromises Shatter the illusion Of integrity |

King Crimson. And I'd tell all the guests to ask Fripp for an autograph after their performance because he likes that kind of attention. Then I'd watch him have a panic attack and wet himself. |

Fripp would wet himself twice - once because of excitement, secondly due to panic. ------------- yet you still have time! |

No, I'll tell you what would make him wet himself twice - if I told everyone present to take a photo of him at the same time during the last number. |

Hummm, I made two 3 hour DATs, mostly filled with sleep/vomit inducing stuff..but I sneaked on a couple of gems; 'Dance on a volcano', 'Terrapin Station'-live in 9/93 by the Dead, 'Shine on you crazy diamond part IX','Soon' from The gates of delirium, 'Hammer in the sand' by Steve Hackett, 'The Space' by Marillion...maybe a few others...but they were sandwiched between an awful lot of 80's and early 90's pop music and even some 70's stuff like Peter Frampton and Aerosmith. I thought it was good celebrating music..not sure anyone else did. |

I haven't got a man at the moment but I don't think I'd EVER go out with anyone who didn't ,like Porcupine Tree. In other words it'd be Porcupine Tree playing Mellotron Scratch/ Collapse Light into Dark/ Gravity Eyelids. Or if I could get Tarja back with Nightwish.... ------------- 50 tonne angel falls to the earth... |

Well Landsend very hard to spot, since there are two more known bands beginning with Land, namely Landmarq and Landberk - they are both nice so I guess Landsend should follow this thread. ------------- yet you still have time! |
