Hi Teddy and escher and thanks for your sharing of the 2 links. After listening to each of them, I would characterize both as belonging more to "folk rock"--remember that old chestnut?--rather than "prog rock". Nice listening/relaxing music no matter its category.
"In My Life"--The Beatles
i would add : a day in life - the first time the beatels interduced 2 songs together at once.
and also i like that genesis album " fox trot"- it's all good
Some real prog, and if I understand the term right, poignant:
Entangled - Genesis
And you and I - Yes
Ocean gipsy - Renaissance
The ministry of lost souls - Dream Theater
Lazarus - Porcupine Tree
Hi gcmusic and thanks for your input. "A Day in the Life" is indeed an extremely poignant song from one of the most seminal albums of all time: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.Originally Posted by gcmusic
white knigth, sea song (like most of the music of the canterbury scene) maybe is not exactly in the style of genesis or Elp ,but is definitely not "folk rock"
Bob Dylan is folk rock
Art Rock, thanks for throwing in Entangled and Lazarus, I knew I'd forgotten some!
And a +1 from me for A Day In The Life, certainly has it's moments of poignancy. (Did I also have Across The Universe in my first list?)
EDIT: No I didn't, so there it is.

Music is made to transform the states of the soul, for an hour or an instant (J. Alain)
Would that be before or after he went electric?white knigth, sea song (like most of the music of the canterbury scene) maybe is not exactly in the style of genesis or Elp ,but is definitely not "folk rock"
Bob Dylan is folk rock
after, from 1965 if i remember well
After listening to excerpts of In The Court of the Crimson King, I would definitely add "I Talk to the Wind" and "Epitaph" from King Crimson.
"Many A Mile To Freedom"--Traffic
What a tremendous song. Also, Camel's Airborn.
