I like a lot of the Floyd albums in particular Meddle through to Animals. Also ELP great Debut, that's maybe my favourite love the opener...the BARBARIAN such good tracks on this one, Take a pebble, Knife edge, Tank, Lucky Man its great.

Interesting prog perspectives Richie to which I can see your points. Good choices on Yes, others and why's. I fell asleep to 'An Index of Metals' which manufactured a desert heatwave dream for some bizarre reason. My punk tastes walk a finer line than your prog. There's prog I even bend the rules on like Hawkwind though it's more space rock like The Pink Floyd. Colosseum is a bluesy form that I like and Chris Farlowe completes the impact. Procol Harem has yet to grab me. You may like Supersisters' first 2 better. Why a bedtime lullaby when '21st Century Schizoid 'Man', 'Cat Food' and MAGMA offer more edgy excitement, right?

Its good to hear from you. I know Hawkwind is considered Space Rock but it is still Progressive to me. That's whayknow it. I wish I had thought of bedtime lullaby before making this video. Great description.

Very entertaining from the best VC contributor👍. Yes, prog does tread a very thin line. A lot of ELP is virtually unlistenable to my ears. Yes, the definition had been stretched here , but good nonetheless.

Richie, great selections. I fully endorse your definition of ''prog''. Zappa and Weather Report can be considered ''prog'' Gary Brooker does indeed have a great voice. My favorite King Crimson is the 1973-1974 era.

73 - 74 King Crimson is great. Larks' Tongues In Aspic and Red are mentioned a lot. That is why I showed the one in the middle, Starless and Bible Black. Thanks for watching.

Couldn't agree more about prog walking a fine line. I really don't go for most of the classic Prog, more prefer the Psych bands that are starting to get proggy. I call it "Prog-like symptoms" (Soft Machine / T2 / Gong / Sensations Fix). Otherwise enjoyed!

Hi thought Hawkwind was more like space rock That's why I didn't put it in my prog rock you know Like you say some of the lines are blurry on this stuff. A Lot of those early records you showed I purged those Early Swirls Your Right there's a few folks take this shit way too serious And I wrote a couple different paragraphs about it but it's better if I don't say anything you know what I mean its kind of what you did
