nice job on the Iceberg. There's likely 100's of other anecdotes and such that could be added or included more Icebergs (I think on reddit, I've seen 3 or 4? Progressive Rock Icebergs). 1 that I think would be worth including at some point. Rivers Cuomo of the band Weezer took guitar lessons from Jim Matheos of Fates Warning, and before he was in Weezer, had his own Prog band of sorts named "Avant Garde." And actually by that token, throw in the likes of -Billy Joel was in the Prog band "Atilla" before his solo career. -Elton John had an auditon for King Crimson
Oh hey! You did a great job with a ton of attention to detail, which is something that I highly appreciate! (Also, thanks for making that timelapse, because it really worked well in the video ;P)

Would have included The Mars Volta's cursed album(s) It's a whole rabbit hole but their album Bedlam In Goliath was based from experiences they had with interacting with potentially cursed objects they found in The Levant
One of my favorite things about videos like these, as a pretty casual fan of prog rock, is when a band or artist is referenced that had a prolific career and is basically one of the legends of the genre and I have *never* heard of them. Also that Sherman Helmsley story... A genuine die-hard fan, apparently. 😆
Nice - this made for an enjoyable morning. Though, I was slightly surprised at no mention that Genesis was a majority shareholder/angel funders of the Varilight systems. Semi-obscure fact, while known to Genesis fans, is only ever casually mentioned by the wider prog world...
Damn... I quoted that from a website without looking further into it... It does make more sense considering it's geographical closeness to the Isle of Wight. Thanks for pointing that out!
Great video! I would like to make a couple of corrections about the Jaco Pastorius segment at 53:05, though. • The album artwork at 53:39 is for Paul Bley's untitled 1976 album, dubbed "Jaco" by fans, not Jaco's own debut album. • Jaco began abusing drugs sometime in 1977 or 1978, though the situation worsened significantly in the '80s. • Even though Jaco wasn't happy with the direction Weather Report was taking, the real reason he was forced out was due to scheduling conflicts. The group had planned to take the year off, but the record label forced them to go on tour, by which time Jaco had already booked the Word of Mouth tour. I don't have any statistics, but it seems the claim that the tour performed poorly is untrue. Jaco played to huge audiences, and the Aurex Jazz Festival shows even spawned three live albums: Twins I and Twins II (1982), and Invitation (1983). • His death was caused by a bouncer beating him up after his aggressive behavior, not simply from trying to enter the club.
@@JacoPastoriusArchive Thank you for this insightful comment! And please excuse my mistakes or inaccuracies. And I also feel that the cause of death explanation part is on me; I should have phrased that part better, seeing is painted a somewhat inaccurate picture of the events...
@@365DaysofProg It's okay! I can't imagine how much work you put into researching, writing, and editing this video-it would be incredibly hard to get every detail right, especially with someone like Jaco, given that he was at his most relevant long before the internet. Even the highly simplified Wikipedia article has mistakes.
Hi Naomi, This is SOOOOO good! I do have a few points regarding your coverage of Mr. Fripp, though ... First, Elton John was apparently hired by E.G. Records, without Robert Fripp's knowledge or consent, to sing on In the Wake of Poseidon. As you point out, though, Fripp put a stop to this plan after hearing Elton's vocal work on Empty Sky. In addition to Fripp, Al Stewart apparently took guitar lessons from Fripp's original guitar teacher, Don Strike. Strike apparently taught both Andy Summers and Greg Lake along the way as well. Trey Gunn, who played in both Sunday All Over the World and King Crimson with Fripp, is an ex-Crafty Guitarist. IIRC, the members of KC's erstwhile opening act the California Guitar Trio are (at least in part) ex-Crafties too.
@@wmpuig Brilliant! Lovely pieces of insight that I did not stumble upon. I think I should add a "corrections/additions" section in the video description, as it seems that there are many tidbits of information that is being unearthed in this comment section haha! Again, thank you!
Klaatu Mentioned! I'd like to make a stop here saying that the first album is kind of the Beatles just for the sounds, but the best album, proggy and symphonic, is Hope. It won't leave you with the hands empty. They are one of my favourite bands ever.
Some of my personal favorite prog rock songs not mentioned here - Radiohead - Paranoid Android (and Subterranean Homesick Alien) The Abbey Road Medley Coldplay - Viva la Vida (?) The Beatles - Happiness Is a Warm Gun David Bowie - Space Oddity King Crimson - I Talk to The Wind Radiohead - Videotape Miracle Musical - Dream Sweet in Sea Major The White Stripes - Ball and Biscuit Radiohead - The National Anthem Duster - Like a Movie Candy Claws - Two Airships / Exploder Falls Tame Impala - Let it Happen Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb Childish Gambino - Me and Your Mama Mitski - First Love / Late Spring Frank Zappa - Who Needs the Peace Corps Renaissance - Trip to The Fair And way too many more (this is taking too long)
wow, very cool Naomi! I've only checked out the 1st 10 minutes, but this quite extensive research and editing. Of course many know The Dark Side of the Moon sync with The Wizard of Oz ..but I don't see it on there, these 2 other syncs I feel could also be included 2112 with Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway with Dark City
Oh my! I've never heard of those matches. I think I know what I'm doing tonight lol. (And I assume that you are referring to the original Charlie in the Chocolate Factory, right?)
@365DaysofProg the original "charlie and the chocolate factory" film with Gene Wilder in 1971 was called Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, unlike the book and later film adaptations. Regardless, I never heard of this particular one before! Definitely checking it out! For anyone else on this trip check out A Wild Hare by Spastic Ink. Not a coincidence but the music is directly taken from Bambi, Thumper's lines and the score interpreted into prog rock/metal
@@365DaysofProg yeah "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" from 1971? Not the Johnny Depp "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" from 2005? 1 example is when the song "Tears" comes on, Charlie's mother is crying.
Finally, a video which satisfies both my hunger for prog rock and my ADHD-like personality :)) Jokes aside, I'm already hooked from the first minute, great content so far :D
I'm a bit surprised that you didn't mention one of my favorite "conspiracies" that came from a 90's prog bang from Finland, pretty sure you have heard of it
Hey Ryan! Just giving you a heads up that I’ll be touching you come this December. Hope that won’t be any inconvenience ❤️ Sending lots of love and stars ✨
If fripp knows about the circle jerk sub I feel bad for him lol, also if that is true that means Robert fripp threatened to “bust my kneecaps” with a Les Paul for creating the root meme 😂
@@scottsinner7530 There are quite a few very weird mispronounciations throughout this video, I'm assuming the narrator is not a native englsih speaker so we can forgive, but... Mussogrowsky anyone??
I'm almost halfway through and still no mention of Mike Oldfield (specifically regarding The Exorcist?), please pleaaase let it be there. In any case, this is a FANTASTIC video, I'm loving every bit of information I'm getting here 🌟
21:12 Changing the intro and outro every season is an industry standard in modern anime. Copyright becomes an issue when they have to distribute the shows outside Japan (which is why the Netflix versions of Ergo Proxy , Monster and Evangelion replaced Paranoid Android, David Sylvian's For The Love Of Life, and Fly Me To the Moon respectively with instrumental tracks)
Just let Piero Scaruffi, the king of music critics, sit into Tier 1, for introducing a lot of people into Krautrock, Canterbury Scene, Space Rock / Drone Music / Early Electronic Music. Thanks to him i f***ed up my brain by listening to Irrlicht (Klaus Schulze solo debut album) about 100 times, trying to figure out what was happening there.
You mean the king of musical hot takes (e.g. The Beatles are awful and so on) and undechiprable ratings. But as a curator he's indeed number 1. I found so many artists through his writings on the history of rock, the history of jazz and the history of popular music.
@shacharh5470 if you read carefully that particular article, you notice that he gives credit to Beatles iconic albums (Sgt Pepper, Abbey Road, White Album), but he simply believes that other bands were evolving rock music more deeply (early Pink Floyd, Velvet UG, Jimi Hendrix...). I love critics that use low grades and high grades, because they really try to choose the best in their opinion. Scaruffi gives mediocre rates to a lot of bands I love (Genesis, Queen, Iron Maiden, Rush...)
@@danielecardinali7349 The Beatles are an example. He wrote scathing reviews of many well loved and respected artists. David Bowie for example if I remember right.
@@shacharh5470 He respected Bowie as a showman and performer, but stated that the album he released did not make justice to his genius. However, he highly respected his best albums (Ziggy Stardust, Low, Heroes, Station to Station...)
@@danielecardinali7349 What about his Cardiacs reviews? He hated the masterpiece "Everso Closely Guarded Line" and his review of Guns is so negative you'd think there was nothing worthwhile about it (sure it's not as good as previous albums but it's got lots of great songs on it! To say nonchalantly that Tim Smith had lost his juice, or whatever phrasing he used.. that's so dismissive). I mean, Scaruffi has the right to his opinions but he seems to express them sometimes without any subtlety
Please could you talk about Arco - Iris (argentina prog-folk) Pescado rabioso (south america) Tantra (portugal) José cid (the disc "1000 depois entre venus e marte) (portugal space - prog) Nektar (prog band from the 70s) These bands are amazing i recomend everyone to listen
Loving this video so far! But the "Trout Mask Replica" Math-rock topic actually does hold a little water. Most of the tracks on that album actually have a similar arrangement where, in each section of a song, each of the individual parts, played by each band member, would have its own unique rhythm and time signature. The players would just repeat their individual lines until they all met up together again, at which point they would all move on to the next section, and so on. So there was definitely a lot of math involved in the arrangement of that album, though I don't know enough about actual math-rock to know if any other bands ever use that writing method.
@@sirtoby2070 I see what you're getting at; in that sense, TMR can be seen as this Chaotic-Math-Rock conglomeration. Though soundwise, I'd still have to say that the album to too far detached from any Math-Rock that I am aware of.
@@rbailey1240 Yeah....... I did however try and put less emphasis on it, and hopefully people will read the rant there, because I find this case deplorable.
11:05, wrong. it was a demeaning and hateful term according to all "krautrock" artists. look into the meaning and history of the word "Kraut" and the culture of post-wwii germany. kosmische music is a preferred title.
I'm amazed you cite almost everything of the progressive scene... so I tell you what I love the best; about Pink Floyd, or perhaps I better should say Ron Geesin, Atom Heart Mother, a record hated by most people but not by me - it was the album that introduced me to progressive rock; French Zeuhl, Christian Vander's Magma, awesome; Canterbury scene, Caravan's first album, very lovely, and the following If I could do it all etc,, that I love better than the everywhere celebrated masterpiece In the land of grey and pink; Camel, I love very much the CD edition of A Live Record with Chord Change and other songs from Moonmadness; Colosseum, Valentyne suite and Live; the guitarist I love the best, Allan Holdsworth (Soft Machine's Bundles) and his counterpart Ollie Hallsall, both in the band Tempest; from my country, not only the always cited PFM and Banco, but also Picchio dal Pozzo, Arti e Mestieri, Daedalus; Soft Machine are not only Robert Wyatt as believed by most people, but apart the inarrivableThird I appreciate Fourth, Six and Bundles; when Wyatt quit the band, Soft Machine hired many people who played with Ian Carr's Nucleus - my Nirvana band with Jimi Hendrix Experience - such as John Marshall, Carl Jenkins and Roy Babbington. King Crimson, the first historical album but especially the first trilogy Lark's tongues - Starless and etc. - Red. Gentle Giant, far better than Genesis - their first three albums. Jethro Tull, I love their first record with Mick Abrahams. These are only the bands I've now remember, and I'm sure I've forgotten many many others. Excuse me for this mess, but for me finding other people who listen to my same music is very moving.
@@bubbaz7064 The coincidence is quite uncanny here, seeing as I was also introduced to prog through Atom Heart Mother, which still remains my most beloved prog album ever till today. I tell the story of how I found that album in a bit more depth in my "The Art of the Side-Long Suite" video ;) As for the rest of your mentions, I rather like them all! And my personal favourite Soft Machine album is Bundles actually. I will say that I simply never got into Picchio Dal Pozzo though... :/ Otherwise, thank you for this comment! I am glad that you enjoyed the video and its overarching structure!
I'd argue that Dire straits telegraph road is not a prog song but is closer to a heavier folk song kinda like much of Bob Dylan's catalog, but with a more rock edge.
Cardiacs are not RIO. Neither are Residents. But there are RIO / neo-RIO artists influences by either / both of these bands. So there is some connection.
I love Prog but still haven't gotten too far down the list of bands. What's the song openeing tier 6 at 1:30:18? Also for bad covers, have you seen Jon Anderson's latest album? 😂
I remember when this dude tried to sell a regular copy of Breakfast in America at a ridiculous price claiming it had the "9/11" cover even though every copy of Breakfast has the same cover 💀
Good stuff here, but you are killing me with the "alas". "Alas" means "unfortunatetly", or a general term of sadness, regret, or despair. The prog iceberg is, unfortunately, explained! Camel would, sadly, decide to expand on the White Rider concept with Siddhartha, and so on. What you mean is "at last", which means "finally", or a general term for a thing/event that is long expected or hoped for, when it eventually happens. The prog Iceberg is, finally, explained! Camel would, eventually, decide to expand on the White Rider with Siddhartha. And so on.
Hey, this is a really valuable comment. Despite not being a native speaker at all, I do put much effort into my English (and I am actually also an English teacher in training). It is amazing how long one can go with making a mistake that they are oblivious to and no one is keen enough to point out. I had it happen to me recently when a friend enlightened me to the fact that writing 'worth' with a 'u' (wourth) is incorrect. I have no clue when I picked up that habit, but there it is. Thank you for making me aware of this, and I will make sure to be more conscious of it in the future ;))
I feel like saying pink floyd isn't prog rock is like saying led zeppelin isn't blues rock, like sure there are led zeppelin songs that I wouldn't call bluesy, but there are many which are pink floyd has many songs you could consider prog, echoes is a big one, welcome to the machine, dogs arguably, atom heart mother is 100% prog, and you don't know what you're talking about if you deny it if you say pink floyd isn't prog, listen to atom heart mother
As it so happens, Atom Heart Mother Suite is the song that got me into prog and is still my favourite today. I will personally die on the hill stating that PF are prog, but as is usually the case, people will argue both ways.
I do feel that there is an over-representation of King Crimson, TOOL and the Floyd, so I tried adding tidbits about others like Area, Klaatu, The POPE, etc.
Good for people who know nothing about prog rock, but offers nothing new for those who know about it. BTW, it’s just Dark Side of the Moon. No “The “ at the beginning.

Same! JoJo is the reason I got into King Crimson and Yes.
Dude, that happened exactly to me as well!
The term "Progressive Rock" implies the existence of "Conservative Rock."
The name "King Crimson" implies the existence of the more twisted, evil, "Governor Red"
Haha! Never heard that one before.
Ac/dc are conservative rock pioneers.
or "regressive Rock"?

Hi Naomi, this is a great work, long enough maybe for 10 different episodes. And the Supertramp-11/09 connection is really scary!
@@jordiplanas631 Yeah! I really wanted to not compromise and release this as one large unit.
And Supertramp just knew what we were too blind to see...
The SuperTramp one is the dumbest conspiracy theory I’ve ever heard 😂
One of my favorite things about videos like these, as a pretty casual fan of prog rock, is when a band or artist is referenced that had a prolific career and is basically one of the legends of the genre and I have *never* heard of them.
Also that Sherman Helmsley story... A genuine die-hard fan, apparently. 😆
@@ctsamurai Haha! Any examples? 🤔😅
The first side long prog epic was Yuo Doo Right (1969), by CAN
Nice - this made for an enjoyable morning. Though, I was slightly surprised at no mention that Genesis was a majority shareholder/angel funders of the Varilight systems. Semi-obscure fact, while known to Genesis fans, is only ever casually mentioned by the wider prog world...

1:11:40 Plymouth is not on the outskirts of London, it is over 200 miles away.

Thanks for pointing that out!
Great video! I would like to make a couple of corrections about the Jaco Pastorius segment at 53:05, though.
• The album artwork at 53:39 is for Paul Bley's untitled 1976 album, dubbed "Jaco" by fans, not Jaco's own debut album.
• Jaco began abusing drugs sometime in 1977 or 1978, though the situation worsened significantly in the '80s.
• Even though Jaco wasn't happy with the direction Weather Report was taking, the real reason he was forced out was due to scheduling conflicts. The group had planned to take the year off, but the record label forced them to go on tour, by which time Jaco had already booked the Word of Mouth tour. I don't have any statistics, but it seems the claim that the tour performed poorly is untrue. Jaco played to huge audiences, and the Aurex Jazz Festival shows even spawned three live albums: Twins I and Twins II (1982), and Invitation (1983).
• His death was caused by a bouncer beating him up after his aggressive behavior, not simply from trying to enter the club.
@@JacoPastoriusArchive Thank you for this insightful comment! And please excuse my mistakes or inaccuracies. And I also feel that the cause of death explanation part is on me; I should have phrased that part better, seeing is painted a somewhat inaccurate picture of the events...
@@365DaysofProg It's okay! I can't imagine how much work you put into researching, writing, and editing this video-it would be incredibly hard to get every detail right, especially with someone like Jaco, given that he was at his most relevant long before the internet. Even the highly simplified Wikipedia article has mistakes.
Hi Naomi,
This is SOOOOO good! I do have a few points regarding your coverage of Mr. Fripp, though ...
First, Elton John was apparently hired by E.G. Records, without Robert Fripp's knowledge or consent, to sing on In the Wake of Poseidon. As you point out, though, Fripp put a stop to this plan after hearing Elton's vocal work on Empty Sky.
In addition to Fripp, Al Stewart apparently took guitar lessons from Fripp's original guitar teacher, Don Strike. Strike apparently taught both Andy Summers and Greg Lake along the way as well.
Trey Gunn, who played in both Sunday All Over the World and King Crimson with Fripp, is an ex-Crafty Guitarist. IIRC, the members of KC's erstwhile opening act the California Guitar Trio are (at least in part) ex-Crafties too.
@@wmpuig Brilliant! Lovely pieces of insight that I did not stumble upon.
I think I should add a "corrections/additions" section in the video description, as it seems that there are many tidbits of information that is being unearthed in this comment section haha!
Again, thank you!

I'd like to make a stop here saying that the first album is kind of the Beatles just for the sounds, but the best album, proggy and symphonic, is Hope. It won't leave you with the hands empty. They are one of my favourite bands ever.

The Abbey Road Medley
Coldplay - Viva la Vida (?)
The Beatles - Happiness Is a Warm Gun
David Bowie - Space Oddity
King Crimson - I Talk to The Wind

Frank Zappa - Who Needs the Peace Corps
Renaissance - Trip to The Fair
And way too many more (this is taking too long)
wow, very cool Naomi! I've only checked out the 1st 10 minutes, but this quite extensive research and editing.

2112 with Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway with Dark City
Oh my! I've never heard of those matches. I think I know what I'm doing tonight lol.
(And I assume that you are referring to the original Charlie in the Chocolate Factory, right?)
@365DaysofProg the original "charlie and the chocolate factory" film with Gene Wilder in 1971 was called Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, unlike the book and later film adaptations. Regardless, I never heard of this particular one before! Definitely checking it out!
For anyone else on this trip check out A Wild Hare by Spastic Ink. Not a coincidence but the music is directly taken from Bambi, Thumper's lines and the score interpreted into prog rock/metal
@@365DaysofProg yeah "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" from 1971?
Not the Johnny Depp "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" from 2005?
1 example is when the song "Tears" comes on, Charlie's mother is crying.

21:12 Changing the intro and outro every season is an industry standard in modern anime. Copyright becomes an issue when they have to distribute the shows outside Japan (which is why the Netflix versions of Ergo Proxy , Monster and Evangelion replaced Paranoid Android, David Sylvian's For The Love Of Life, and Fly Me To the Moon respectively with instrumental tracks)

@@patrishiou Are you intact? O.o
Just let Piero Scaruffi, the king of music critics, sit into Tier 1, for introducing a lot of people into Krautrock, Canterbury Scene, Space Rock / Drone Music / Early Electronic Music.
Thanks to him i f***ed up my brain by listening to Irrlicht (Klaus Schulze solo debut album) about 100 times, trying to figure out what was happening there.
You mean the king of musical hot takes (e.g. The Beatles are awful and so on) and undechiprable ratings.
But as a curator he's indeed number 1. I found so many artists through his writings on the history of rock, the history of jazz and the history of popular music.
@shacharh5470 if you read carefully that particular article, you notice that he gives credit to Beatles iconic albums (Sgt Pepper, Abbey Road, White Album), but he simply believes that other bands were evolving rock music more deeply (early Pink Floyd, Velvet UG, Jimi Hendrix...).
I love critics that use low grades and high grades, because they really try to choose the best in their opinion. Scaruffi gives mediocre rates to a lot of bands I love (Genesis, Queen, Iron Maiden, Rush...)
@@danielecardinali7349 The Beatles are an example. He wrote scathing reviews of many well loved and respected artists. David Bowie for example if I remember right.
@@shacharh5470 He respected Bowie as a showman and performer, but stated that the album he released did not make justice to his genius. However, he highly respected his best albums (Ziggy Stardust, Low, Heroes, Station to Station...)
@@danielecardinali7349 What about his Cardiacs reviews?
He hated the masterpiece "Everso Closely Guarded Line" and his review of Guns is so negative you'd think there was nothing worthwhile about it (sure it's not as good as previous albums but it's got lots of great songs on it! To say nonchalantly that Tim Smith had lost his juice, or whatever phrasing he used.. that's so dismissive).
I mean, Scaruffi has the right to his opinions but he seems to express them sometimes without any subtlety
Please could you talk about Arco - Iris (argentina prog-folk)
Pescado rabioso (south america)
Tantra (portugal)
José cid (the disc "1000 depois entre venus e marte) (portugal space - prog)

@@rporta The perfect balance
Loving this video so far!
But the "Trout Mask Replica" Math-rock topic actually does hold a little water. Most of the tracks on that album actually have a similar arrangement where, in each section of a song, each of the individual parts, played by each band member, would have its own unique rhythm and time signature. The players would just repeat their individual lines until they all met up together again, at which point they would all move on to the next section, and so on. So there was definitely a lot of math involved in the arrangement of that album, though I don't know enough about actual math-rock to know if any other bands ever use that writing method.
@@sirtoby2070 I see what you're getting at; in that sense, TMR can be seen as this Chaotic-Math-Rock conglomeration. Though soundwise, I'd still have to say that the album to too far detached from any Math-Rock that I am aware of.
1:10:02 !!!😮
I appreciate the Kevin Gilbert reference. I just wish it was for something else.
@@rbailey1240 Yeah....... I did however try and put less emphasis on it, and hopefully people will read the rant there, because I find this case deplorable.
11:05, wrong. it was a demeaning and hateful term according to all "krautrock" artists. look into the meaning and history of the word "Kraut" and the culture of post-wwii germany. kosmische music is a preferred title.
I'm amazed you cite almost everything of the progressive scene... so I tell you what I love the best; about Pink Floyd, or perhaps I better should say Ron Geesin, Atom Heart Mother, a record hated by most people but not by me - it was the album that introduced me to progressive rock; French Zeuhl, Christian Vander's Magma, awesome; Canterbury scene, Caravan's first album, very lovely, and the following If I could do it all etc,, that I love better than the everywhere celebrated masterpiece In the land of grey and pink; Camel, I love very much the CD edition of A Live Record with Chord Change and other songs from Moonmadness; Colosseum, Valentyne suite and Live; the guitarist I love the best, Allan Holdsworth (Soft Machine's Bundles) and his counterpart Ollie Hallsall, both in the band Tempest; from my country, not only the always cited PFM and Banco, but also Picchio dal Pozzo, Arti e Mestieri, Daedalus; Soft Machine are not only Robert Wyatt as believed by most people, but apart the inarrivableThird I appreciate Fourth, Six and Bundles; when Wyatt quit the band, Soft Machine hired many people who played with Ian Carr's Nucleus - my Nirvana band with Jimi Hendrix Experience - such as John Marshall, Carl Jenkins and Roy Babbington. King Crimson, the first historical album but especially the first trilogy Lark's tongues - Starless and etc. - Red. Gentle Giant, far better than Genesis - their first three albums. Jethro Tull, I love their first record with Mick Abrahams. These are only the bands I've now remember, and I'm sure I've forgotten many many others. Excuse me for this mess, but for me finding other people who listen to my same music is very moving.
@@bubbaz7064 The coincidence is quite uncanny here, seeing as I was also introduced to prog through Atom Heart Mother, which still remains my most beloved prog album ever till today. I tell the story of how I found that album in a bit more depth in my "The Art of the Side-Long Suite" video ;)
As for the rest of your mentions, I rather like them all! And my personal favourite Soft Machine album is Bundles actually. I will say that I simply never got into Picchio Dal Pozzo though... :/

I'd argue that Dire straits telegraph road is not a prog song but is closer to a heavier folk song kinda like much of Bob Dylan's catalog, but with a more rock edge.
Same with SFAIR, but I can see the others being prog
Small correction, Naomi - Tony Stratton-Smith was Keith Emerson's manager, not Greg Lake's.

Hey, this is a really valuable comment.
Despite not being a native speaker at all, I do put much effort into my English (and I am actually also an English teacher in training). It is amazing how long one can go with making a mistake that they are oblivious to and no one is keen enough to point out. I had it happen to me recently when a friend enlightened me to the fact that writing 'worth' with a 'u' (wourth) is incorrect. I have no clue when I picked up that habit, but there it is.
Thank you for making me aware of this, and I will make sure to be more conscious of it in the future ;))
I feel like saying pink floyd isn't prog rock is like saying led zeppelin isn't blues rock, like sure there are led zeppelin songs that I wouldn't call bluesy, but there are many which are
pink floyd has many songs you could consider prog, echoes is a big one, welcome to the machine, dogs arguably, atom heart mother is 100% prog, and you don't know what you're talking about if you deny it
if you say pink floyd isn't prog, listen to atom heart mother
As it so happens, Atom Heart Mother Suite is the song that got me into prog and is still my favourite today. I will personally die on the hill stating that PF are prog, but as is usually the case, people will argue both ways.
Didn´t the audience member Roger Waters spat on during the 1977 In the Flesh tour additionally try to climb up onto the front of the stage?
While I haven't read or heard of any source stating that, I can see how that could have been the case.
No UK? Or did I miss it?
This is a good video but it feels like this is just a combination of multiple different icebergs of different bands put together.
I do feel that there is an over-representation of King Crimson, TOOL and the Floyd, so I tried adding tidbits about others like Area, Klaatu, The POPE, etc.
Good for people who know nothing about prog rock, but offers nothing new for those who know about it. BTW, it’s just Dark Side of the Moon. No “The “ at the beginning.
