The whole genre is my favorite. I’m a huge fan of early Genesis especially.

Supper’s Ready is like the rock answer to many “classical” pieces.

I have a couple of documentaries on Genesis.

Ok, so you have the chance to date one of three women.

The redhead likes “Tales From Topographic Oceans”.
The blonde likes “Close to the Edge”
The brunette likes “Relayer”

So which one is it???

Listen to this one while you make up your mind:

This is a seventies, not a sixties list.
JMHO

Can. Monster Movie album. Extended pieces but minimalist.

East of Eden. Mercator Projected album. (Yardbirds meet free jazz).

Lighthouse. Canadian band. Excellent musicianship. Sort of like Chicago, but prog and rocks harder.

Wishbone Ash- Argus. Christian concept album. Wonderfully recorded.

IIRC, Pink Floyd's "Echoes" tips the clock at 23 minutes. It's the entire second side of Meddle. The band's output through Wish You Were Here could all be classified as prog rock, IMO.

I was a fan of Rush (pretty libertarian types), and Tangerine Dream.

My first concert was Yes in Jersey City in ‘76. Patrick Moran was the keyboardist. Seen ‘em twice since then. One of the best albums ever was Yessongs. Wakeman then going into Roundabout rocked.

Anyone but me into "Prog Rock"..........you know, the awesome 15 min long songs from the 60's and 70's?

I used to be when I was very young - pre-teen and early teens. Almost exclusively Peter Gabriel-era Genesis and the Fragile album by Yes. I still remember "Heart of the Sunrise" fondly. But I could never get into anything else by Yes or anything at all by Kansas, King Crimson, etc.

My favorite is the Little River Band. They were the only act – from anywhere – to have a top ten US single for six consecutive years. Still going strong at a casino or fair near you.
