Your favorite prog rock music? ?


I was just listening to, and burning some CDs for work when I heard "Time and a Word." I started thinking about some of the prog rock I have, but wondered what I should have that I don't have...

I mean music!

Where's Ken Golden ? (he's posted here before). Nice to see Guru Guru and Budgie listed. A vast range of stuff gets labled as prog rock. If you're coming from Yes/Time and a Word. You might like Finnforest, Ragnarok (the Swedish band), PFM (Per un Amico) or early Gryphon. There's an icredible amount of mind altering rock influenced music from A.D.D. Trio to Zu that's worth checking out. It's time to quit your job and get to it.
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.
