Your favorite prog rock music? ?

Hey Xiekitchen,

Nice to see someone else appreciates Novella as much as I do. It never seemed to get much acclaim. I just can't get enough of Annie!

Dan ed,
That one was my favorite, looked a long time to find a clean mint UK pressed LP of it... much better than U.S. pressing.

I too Like Renaissance, especially Annie's 5 octave soprano voice! Her solo album "Annie Haslam" 1990 although not prog, is a masterpiece.

Any mind altering rock influenced music could probably get a prog label stuck on it. Most of the greats bust up any sub-genre boxes people try to put em' in. Can, Mahavishnu Orchestra, F.Z., Hendrix, Henry Cow, King Crimson, Capt. Beefheart all presented ideas that show up just about everywhere in post 70's rock. Sometimes leprechaun and unicorn worship or spinal tap cliches have surfaced on the prog grid but there's a huge reservoir of good (often criminally under appreciated) stuff out there. Some previous threads on this site have good lists.

Here some we missed:
Marillion(all the stuff with Fish on vocals)
The Flock
Alquin(early stuff before they sold out)
Frank Zappa(Uncle Meat,Burnt Weeny Sandwhich,Zappa in New York etc.)
Refugee
Lake
Maxaphone(great album)
Manfred Mann's Earth Band
