What prog rock did you listen to today?
This morning I sampled via u tube: Camel-- "Air Born" and "Lunar Sea"; Gentle Giant--"Black Cat", "Why Not", "The Power and The Glory" and "Aspirations".
Hi, Nima and thanx for your input. Never having listened to either group before, I must say it was a good experience. On balance, I prefer Camel to Gentle Giant. What about you?
Camel is such an underestimated prog band. Moonmadness and Mirage are absolutely brilliant and would certainly make my pop/rock album top100 regardless of sub-genre.
John, do you remember CSNY singing those lines in their song "Chicago" about the 1968 Democratic National Convention confrontations/riots between the police and demonstrators?Gentle Giant? "We. Can. Change. The. World."
At least modern computer font lets me type that out the way they sang it.
I walked downtown today, a calm and sunny day, with lots of leftover snow and ice.
When I was walking beside the side of this huge Catholic church, I started singing.
The echo was nice, and I was catching it from houses across the street.
I was singing the "Soon... oh soon, the light, ours forever, ours the right, the son shall guide us, a reason to be here".
That led into singing out my own words to another song in the same key,
feeling all expansive about humanity and what looks like the beginning of the fall of the American empire.
"We've got to get together sooner or later, because the revolution's here". Yeah!
Amun! May All Peace Be Upon You.
So far, that's my progressive rock update.
