Very fun keyboard solo to play. I have no synthesizer or keyboard with synthesizer sounds so I play lead on the organ as well.

    At the risk of sounding overly critical, I was disappointed by this post. No information? No explanation? I purchased half of these back in the day, but only the End and Mighty Baby are still in my stacks. While I am a big fan of 'House Without Windows,' even the End cut did not catch my ear.Maybe larger samples of each group? More songs if you can't post longer snatches from each song? I confess that with no information beyond the cover and such small samples, I just was not interested. And I am still a 60s maven.

    Contrasts by Blonde on Blonde (especially the song Ride With Captain Max) and Wasa Wasa by the Edgar Broughton Band are a couple more good UK albums from 1969. The entire Mighty Baby album is excellent.

    Punk was an abomination. Couldn't play, couldn't sing. Rubbish lyrics and very negative perspective on life. Not all prog rock was good. Some got very self indulgent but the musicianship was superb. Two albums not mentioned are The Alchemist by Home and McDonald and Giles (both ex-King Crimson). Excellent albums.

    "Audience" was hardly obscure - though it's name makes it hard to find on UA-cam. Principal Edwards magic Theatre ... now there's a WAF band from the time ... (Wierd as Feck) but their two albums on youtube are highly listenable.

      It came in many forms I suppose. And definitions vary. Yes and Genesis couldn’t be more different to, say, the Mahavishnu Orchestra but I consider the latter to be progressive. But maybe progressive is not the same as Prog?
