I'm revisiting early-mid 1980s albums by prog rock (& related) artists, when they decided to try new, more stripped down, approaches, many of which provoked vilification & even decades-long grudges among older fans who accused their favourite bands of selling out (see also: Queen's Hot Space album).
Io da ragazzo sentii #LarksTongueInAspic in ordine non cronologico (ovvero cominciai dal part2, che rimane la mia preferita oggi) ma quando sentii la prima parte, rimasi letteralmente folgorato
As my progressive rock continues, I'm looking for more help from you fabulous people. YOu helped me yesterday with Hawkwind. So today's question is where should I start with Asia? #progrock? #progressiverock#classicrock
#Marbles Turns 20 today. Marbles is quite an album with many a great tune on it. One of Marillion's best works I'd wager. Anyway, enjoy a taste of it here with Invisible Man.
Moody Blues cofounder Mike Pinder has died at age 82. Born in Birmingham, U.K., he was part of the city's vibrant music scene and formed the "Moodies" in 1964 with Graeme Edge, Ray Thomas, Clint Warwick, and Denny Laine. In 1967, the group recorded "Days of Future Passed," which is now considered to be the first prog rock album. Here's more from Variety.
#NowPlaying live art-rock/prog albums from the early (more interesting half of the) 1980s. That incarnation of King Crimson was so tight. They make some other bands sound like they're trying to run through a muddy field in wellies. Great live album, very energetic.
