I am 54yrs old. I have a bucket list.....the great pyramids....mountains of tibet....lakes of new zealand....beaches of the carribean....and petes house to check out his cds
Derek and the Dominoes, Blind Faith....The top two one album wonders
Blind Faith is magical!
Armageddon's self titled from 1974 with Keith Relf. A stoner rock masterpiece.
I remember an article in Kerrang about that album, I’m sorry I never heard it. I’ll have to search it out
Absolutely essential hearing that album good call man!
Buzzard! Such a great song! Burning wah-wah fuzz fest!
Lucky enough to have that on cd!
Hughes and thrall is a masterpiece álbum.
HSAS. - Through the Fire 🔥
Neal's guitar work on this album is totally insane !!!!!
@Ty Mornyes , the "live" videos kick ass !
Amazing record!
@Ty Morn I found it at a record store last year for $5. So happy to have it and it is a killer.
Road~Road '72..psyche rock..Noel played with Hendrix...hidden gem💿
Good one! Rod Richards from Rare Earth was on that.
Quatermass self titled album from 1970 I know that there was Quatermass II but that was not a same band.
For me the most obvious "One and Done" classic is the Coverdale-Page Album from 1992! Talk about "Timing Is Everything". If that was released 3 years earlier it would have easily, EASILY have sold 3 million copies!
They're talking about remastering that album with 4 extra songs that weren't released with the original. Exciting
@@davidvondusseldorf1208 Great could always use some more Page guitar tunes.
How about John Paul Jones & Diamonds Galas "the sporting life"? from the 1990's
@@shannonm.townsend1232 Well that would be with Diamanda Galás, not Diamonds Galas! I think "Them Crooked Vultures", was better. tho.
@@johnbenard9550 sorry autocorrect in effect. Who is them cooked vultures? A j.p.j. album/project?
I read a while back that Them Crooked Vultures were thinking about doing another studio album but nothing's come of it so far so they're a one album wonder for now.
Excellent selection! Great album...would love to hear what Pete thinks about QOTSA & Josh Homme especially
Gotta put California breed on one of the episodes someday Pete. Loved Glenn Hughes vocals on that one
A "Pop- Prog" masterpiece imo, the self titled album from Toy Matinee. Excellent album. Polished as all get out, and meant to be. A studio tour de force...👍 PS Great shirt Pete!
Just checked some of it out, sounds amazing! Thank you for mentioning it.
Great album.
To me you didn’t include the biggest one hit wonder of them all! Although you probably consider it a “punk” record , never mind the bollocks by the Sex Pistols to me is just a great rock and roll record. By today’s standards it’s downright melodic!
You got that right!
Paice Ashton Lord was a really good band. Malice in Wonderland is great and the re-issue includes 8 tracks from their (never released) second album..
Goody, I love when re-issues have unreleased tracks, I will have to look for it.
I agree. Got this last year. Love it.
Coverdale was considered as a vocalist, but no one wanted a band called CLAP.
When I saw Deep Purple(classic line-up of Paice, Blackmore, Lord, Gillan and Glover) in Aberdeen on October 14th 1970 Tear Gas were the opening act.
Amazing line-up! Zal Cleminson has to be among the most unfairly underrated guitar players of all time
Emerson Lake and Powell
What a masterpiece !
Saw them guys on their tour. Great show!
I agree.
The one and only solo album by Yes bassist/vocalist Chris Squire entitled "Fish Out Of Water" is fantastic from start to finish. With Bill Bruford on drums and Patrick Moraz on keys, it is essential listening for Yes fans.
HSAS is going to show up, despite it being a live album, I'm sure...
I bought HSAS last yr at record store. Great condition for 5 bucks. What's not love! Neal and Sammy.🤗🤟
Fantastic album...
HEARTBREAKERS (w/Johnny Thunders)- "L.A.M.F." (1977)
When Johnny was on he was just awesome and when he was off a train wreck you couldn’t stop enjoying either !
Anderson bruford Wakeman and howe
Which turned into Yes on "Union" record.
Got to admit ABWH was more Yes than Yes at that time.
I've always regarded this as an actual Yes album. It doesn't make it less so because Squire threw his toys out of the pram, and tried to claim the Yes name.
Great album.Saw them in Munich on that tour.
The short-lived band Keats (1984), the one album project from several Alan Parsons Project musicians including Colin Blunstone on vocals. Loud & Clear (1989) from Signal, featuring ex-King Kobra singer Mark Free. The Cars' Benjamin Orr with his sole solo album The Lace (1986). Ex-Venom guitarist Mantas' mid-80s pop/rock album Winds of Change. Tony Banks' 1995 duo Strictly Inc. one fantastic album with Jack Hues (ex-Wang Chung) on vocals. 1985's hi-tech AOR act Drama with Scenes From a Distance. Soft rockers Delta's 1985 self-titled release, fronted by Michael McDonald's sister Maureen McDonald and produced by him.
Drama is excellent.
Some great one4s to check out here. Never heard Keats or the Ben Orr album or the Banks album Strictly Inc, all on Spotify woohoo! Drama.. is that the technical band mostly or all instrumental? I remember liking it. How about Red from England 1983 on Jigsaw records. All instrumental rock with maybe a touch of fusion. And Limelight
The excellent Drama were all vocal, fronted by the underrated Susanne Jerome Taylor formerly of The Breaks a band that made one fine pop/rock album in 1983. Stylistically it's all poppy AOR a bit like Patty Smyth's old band Scandal or Holly Knight's short-lived trio Device, another mid-80s act with a single (hit) album in '86. I believe all these acts are on UA-cam.
GTR is most famous for an unfortunate one word review in Musician magazine: SHT.
Hahahahahaha!!!!!!
Haha! That's awesome. Like the line in Spinal Tap when Marty and the band are discussing their album history and about Shark Sandwich, he notes the two-word review: "Sh#t sandwich". Life imitating art!
Only album I think comes to my mind. The Language of Vagabond and Thieves by The Throbs. Great album. Produced by Bob Ezrin no less.
My top five one hit Album wonders
1. Armageddon
2. Orion the Hunter
3. Beck,Bogart, Appice
4. Hughes-Thrall
5. Burning Tree
Yeah forgot about them mark ford on guitar he later joined the black crowes awesome guitarist
Andromeda, Fuzzy Duck, Lee Pickens Group, Leaf Hound....
I'm paying attention to anyone that has the 1st BOC album cover for their profile pic. I LOVE Buck Dharma! This was a really great show; Pete introduced a couple I hadn't heard and making me go back to a few I had. I have not heard Armageddon for years! I'm going to get it out. Burning Tree; Hmmm, I haven't heard that one. I'll look it up. Ya know, I used to see that Orion the Hunter album all the time, but never got. Guess I better check that one out too. thanks!
@@joannitaxvi3386 AWESOME list! I LOVE Fuzzy Duck! killer bass work. Lee Pickens from Blood Rock, good one! Leaf Hound's Grower of Mushrooms is one I hadn't gotten out in a long time. I bought a reissue of Andromeda and have yet to put it on. I will now. Aardvark, The Cleaves, Spring, Granicus, Jodi Grind (guess they have 2), Kopperfield, Valor, Truth and Jany, Dragonwyck, Message - It'll be Awhile, Netherworld, Chakra, October, Albatross, I'd say Totty but they have Too also. Guess some of those lean into prog territory too much I have a bunch more, but need to think about it.
@@nintzelj Ursa Major, Bloody Mary from 1972, Primevil, Southern Cross, Alkana, Road, Incredible Hog, Highway Robbery, Dschinn, Night Sun, Bodkin and so on and so on :) This list could be endless and Im not even start talking about had`n`heavy in here.
Thanks for good feedback btw
The Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols
love that album
Solid pick!!
Definitely a very important album in British music history, the only punk album worth owning.
@@alexjohnston8889 *One of MANY punk albums worth owning.
GREATEST LP ever recorded by ANYONE!!!!!
My favorite example of a one-album only band would probably be the band Device and their album 1986 "22B3", which spawned one top 40 pop hit with "Hanging On A Heart Attack", along with a minor rock radio hit with "Who Says". Strong as hell songwriting from back to front and a perfect blend of 80s melodic AOR with synthpop elements.
I would also throw in the Coverdale/Page album along with the 1990 self-titled effort from the Lou Gramm-fronted supergroup Shadow King as good examples of one-off albums from short lived acts.
Device is awesome!
Nice idea! Three quick suggestions:
Mouse - 1973 - Lady Killer
Kestrel - 1974 - Kestrel
Alkatraz - 1976 - Doing A Moonlight
Missing Persons' first album.
This is where the good shit comes in. I love learning about lesser-known bands and weird knock-off projects over the big famous groups. There are a lot of gems out there that the world needs to know about!
Hughes Thrall is one of the most advanced heavy rock album for guitar chords
Cobra "First Strike"
Yeah, that's great record.
Yeah, love that Hughes/Thrall album. Brings to mind another great short lived band Pat Thrall was in, Automatic Man. They had two albums though.
I love both Hackett and Howe, but GTR is not memorable at all.
Two albums that are worth including in this series.
Fuzzy Duck - released a self titled album in 1970 and it was very much in the vein of Heavy guitar and organ based rock in the style of Deep Purple. By FAR, the best album no one’s ever heard of.
Maxophone - released a self titled album in 1975. Italian prog at its best. (They did release two versions, one in the original Italian language and the other with English vocals, but essentially the same album).
Neither band recorded again.
Both bands came from heaven and went straight back again.
Check them out.
...and it goes on my List! :-0
Checking out "Time Will Be Your Doctor" (track 1). Kinda funky. Just before the guitar solo...a little Santana-ish. The organ solo sounds like Purple/Heep. Track 2 a bit ELP-ish with sone more funky bass playing. Very cool stuff! ...and just bought this album.
jazzpunk good, I’m glad you like it. Wait until you get to the song ‘Mrs Prout’. If you’re wearing socks when you start listening to it, you won’t be by the end. It’s that AMAZING it’ll blow those socks right off your feet. 😂👍🏻👍🏻
Brilliant album!
I loved the Hughes/Thrall album. Still playing it today.
Must dig it out. It was good back in the day..
Same here!
@@abe3802 Thrall was another guitar genius destroyed by drugs.
Fun idea. Look forward to your comments on Coverdale Page and Dr. Butcher. How about Arc Angels from 1992?
Arc Angels, a really great album !
Love the Dr Butcher album. The Savatage album that wasn't.
Some of my favorite one album wonders: Bakerloo, Quatermass, Armageddon, Chagall Guevara
Great list. Never heard Chagall Guevara. I'll check it.
Nailbomb. Turned into Soulfly. OMG that CD is killer.
Has he done a ranking of Soulfly or Sepultura albums yet?
I think the second album would have been better received if it wasn’t a double album with a bunch of filler.
Still I agree. One album wonder.
The best album Sepultura never made.
Emerson, Lake & Powell...with Cozy Powell...1986..Touch and Go..single)
Technically, AC/DC only has one album; they just keep releasing it under different names.
So has Status Quo.
Yes' Drama album almost qualifies for a list like this. It really is a different band with no Jon Anderson (Wakeman is debatable since he's been replaced before). I would have loved to hear more of that shiz.
"Fly from Here", especially the re-recorded version with Trevor Horn, is pretty much is a companion piece to it.
I really enjoy drama ,I listen to it often
BLT-1981. / Bruce- Lordan- Trower. ELP- 1986. / Emerson -Lake- Powell 1985 Gogmagog - DiAnno- Gers- Murray- Willis- Burr. TIPTON- ENTWISTLE- POWELL-2006. Derek & Dominoes 1971
I've always liked the 1979 release ST. PARADISE with Derek ST.Holmes and Ex Nugent bassist Rob Grange and drummer ex Montrose Denny Carmassi, on Warner Brothers.Rock Candy Records reissued it a few years back.got some good hard rock songs on it...
B.L.T. Jack Bruce/Bill Lordan/Robin Trower..1981) Truce...Robin Trower/Jack Bruce 1982) Both One-Offs 🖤😎
Pete probably made it clear in the beggining of the episode that pop, punk and new wave would not be covered predicting lots of comments regarding Sex Pistols's Nevermind the Bollocks
has he ever listed his favourite non metal/hard rock/prog stuff?
All the albums Pete mentioned:
Touch (1969)
GTR (1986)
Hughes / Thrall (1982)
Paice Ashton Lord- Malice in Wonderland (1977)
Beck, Bogert & Appice (1973)
Tear Gas (1971)
Rough Diamond (1977)
Billion Dollar Babies- Battle Axe (1977)
Blackthorne- Afterlife (1993)
Orion the Hunter (1984)
Alex Harvey saw Tear Gas and was so impressed that they essentially formed The Sensational Alex Harvey Band...very underrated and worth checking out. The weirdest lyrics i have ever heard was from a track titled 'The Tale Of The Giant Stone Eater'.
Armageddon, Blind Faith, HSAS, Coverdale-Page, The Third Power, Goodthunder
My two cents would be for 1978's It's A Circus World by Axis, a great three piece band that got Vinny Appice noticed by Dio and Iommi. Also with Danny Johnson on guitar and Jay Davis on bass.
Thank you for your One Album Wonders, Part - 1🎤🎸🎵🥁
Brian May’s Starfleet Project from 1983, featuring Brian May vocals guitar, bassist Phil Chen, drummer Alan Gratzer( REO Speedwagon)...and the late great Edward Van Halen.
Also: Tsunami 1983?
Heavy Bones featuring Gary Hoey, Rex Tennyson, Joel Ellis and the late great Frankie Banali.
Yeah excellent album but needed more rockers.
Recently found a supergroup I had never known of and the album’s pretty good. Edge of the World by Tipton, Entwistle, & Powell
Would their first names be Glenn, John and Cozy by chance?
MRB16th yes sir they are!!
MRB16th I was blown away when I first saw that they released an album. Like I said, I had never known of this project until about a couple weeks ago. So when I saw that, my first thought was “NO WAY! You’re telling me Glen Tipton, John Entwistle and Cozy Powell did an album together?!” And it’s pretty damn good. The vocals are a little light (volume-wise) but DAMN is that rhythm section TIGHT!
@@alexandergilles8583 You beauty - I will have to find this. Thanks for the information.
Entwhistle must have seemed out of place, sandwiched between 2 great heavy metal musicians
Hi Pete , there were two Tear gas albums: 'Piggy Go Getter' and 'Tear Gas'- both good but I especially like the more accomplished, rockin' and proggier self-titled album (even do an interesting cover of Jethro's 'Love Story'). Shame they broke up and didn't make a third album. God, I love that early 70's stuff: raw, exciting , mysterious, inventive, creative. and most, like a good cliche, improve with time.
Gotta have Russia (the band) in this series. Their album was fantastic, but ill-timed. They were robbed of a coming out party when the West declined to show up at the 1980 Olympics. The entire album is available as a YT playlist, but I treasure my CD. Easily 6 radio hits among the 10 tracks, and forays into Cars-style new wave, Queen-style pomp, and even prog. Check it out!
The GTR album was one of my first “13 for a penny” from Columbia House! LOL I actually liked the album, it was just different than I was expecting.
Received a lot of hype and some thoroughly unjustified airplay here in Toronto. When they played Massey Hall Hackett ran to the front of the stage and his guitar cord pulled out. Oh well, both Steves are legends regardless.
Rolling Stone had a review for the ages of GTR...........SHT
@@Ontariosound Well, Rolling Stone is a SHT magazine, so...................................
3 To The Power Of Three. Another supergroup with Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer. Came out sometime in the mid to late 80s after Emerson Lake And Powell. Not bad, but very 80s sounding and the lead singer was so so. Didn't do very well if I remember
Hello Pete, I'm curious to know what you think of Primus. They were not on your list of bands you don't like video. I would love to see your rankings of the Primus albums.
It was meant as a one off, "Boomtown" by David + David is an absolutely brilliant look at life in 80s Los Angeles.
Excellent choice, have it on cassette, still listen to it, and you are right..its brilliant!!😁
Forgot to put that on my list; one of my favorite Albums of the 80's.🤙
I remember how much Lewis and Floorwax on 103.5 The Fox in Denver absolutely hated that album. I never understood why.
They hated it so much that they threatened management to walk off their show if they ever tried to force them to play anything from it. They got their way too. In all the years Lewis and Floorwax were on the air, nothing from this album ever saw airplay during their time slot.
good call. the title track is one of my favorite songs ever.
"Welcome to the Boomtown" is amazing.
The Monks - _Black Monk Time_ (1966)
Thunderclap Newman - _Hollywood Dream_ (1970)
Monument - _The First Monument_ (1971)
Green River - _Rehab Doll_ (1988)
Mother Love Bone - _Apple_ (1990)
Temple of the Dog - _Temple of the Dog_ (1991)
Blind Orphans - _Blind Leading the Blind_ (1991)
Jeff Buckley - _Grace_ (1994)
MARS! McAlpine, Aldridge, Rock, Sarzo I think......1986 or 7? Some cool tracks, lots of fillers, should have been better
These immediately came to mind, Arc Angels, Temple of the Dog, Bloodline, Outrider
@Terrence Reardon and Friends Podcast Podcast Oh yeah. I forgot about that.
Bloodline is an excellent album.
Raymond Gomez - "Volume" on CBS.
Great concept !
I love the Atilla album with Billy Joel and Jon Small, and I don't care who knows it, that album is kick arse!
I have a great sounding import Sony label CD.
The Hughes/Thrall album is an absolute classic, brilliant album. One of my all time favourites.
My pick would be the group Sea Hags from 1989 with their one and only self-titled album. They were kinda in the early Aerosmith vein bluesy hard rock, kinda snotty snarling vocals. I consider it a perfect rock album. ua-cam.com/video/pt-vfFZ_cFQ/v-deo.html
Guns and Roses. Biggest band that milked one decent album. $$$$
Never really got into G&R; tried and tried - just didn't get it.
The spaghetti incident?
"Decent" album??? One of the greatest albums of all time. The Use Your Illusion albums are pretty good as well
Both Use Your Illusions are ok. Appetite's great!
Whitford St Holmes
Arcana ( prog featuring Warlord's Damien ( Jacket Russell ) King 1 on Voices 1974
Cesspool of Vermin - Beastial Necrophilia
Thorr's Hammer
Rhet Forester
Steve Walsh ( prog band Kansas lead Vocals solo Metal album 1981? )
Wrabbit - Making Tracks
Jon Norum ( Power Metal album by original Europe Guitar player 1987 ? )
Nigel Glocker ( Uriah Heep , Elton John Guitar player 1978? )
Stranger ( early Point Metal 1981 , blue album cover with eyes drawn All over art similarities with YNT Y and T? )
Rodent - Trapped By the Rat )1973?
Graham Bonnet ( devastatingly Heavy solo album by Metals most powerful Voice 1981
Up to my knowledge "Tear Gas" released two albums: "Piggy Go Getter" in 1970 and "Tear Gas" in 1971. Because they were not very successful they formed together with Alex Harvey "The Sensational Alex Harvey Band". So maybe the album "Foreplay" from SAHB (released in 1977 without Alex) can be considered as a "Tear Gas" album, too.
Wow, was not aware they did an earlier album. You got me on that one-my bad!
I've got both of these albums. Neither is really very good.
@@henrykuehl9547 one rocks harder than the other that's for sure.
Some bands are only good for one great album. Still better than no great albums..
Only watched the first 30 seconds of this, but one that came to mind immediately is Blind Faith
Same here...
@@calvinwboaz7085 Hey, no kiddin'!
@ I just came to get something to _EAT!_
@ I'm seeing a psychiatrist.
Great concept. A lot of "supergroup"-type aggregations here. The clashing egos often won't allow them to last more than one album. Blind Faith would be the prototype of this.
Hello Pete, did you know the band "The Fuse" with Rick Nilsson and Tom Petersson. Later they are in Cheap Trick. They do a great Hard Rock album.
Great one! So much better than any Cheap Trick for my tune-buds..
Although they had a second album, the Jimmy Page and Paul Rodgers supergroup outfit, The Firm's self-titled. Great record! Loved Radioactive!
Lol, so why mention them? There were 2 albums, we could mention other artists that had 2 or 3 albums, but that would be silly and a waste of time. They simply don't fit the objective here "One album".
I got to see The Firm in 1985. Pretty good show, Radioactive sounded even better live IMO.
@@rick6582CNCMedicalParts I loved both albums, wished there were more. Page blew it with that band. My favorite off the 1st album "Midnight Moonlight".
My favorite off the second album "Live in Peace".
@@charleslipscomb2567 I saw them too at the Worcester Centrum, also saw Robert Plant the same year.
Legend - "From The Fjords". Amazingly underrated Prog/Epic Metal from 1979! A 3 piece group, made one album, and then vanished into obscurity.
New Radicals. The more popular music is usually not covered here.
Ursa Major, early 1970s. I keep hoping more material will show up. Material that didn't make first album, stuff in can for 2nd album, bootlegs from opening for Alice, etc
Loving the Heep tshirt
The one album wonder that always comes to mind for me is Nevermind the Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols.
I'm actually curious on Pete's views on Punk, should do a vid on sex pistols, clash etc
The Greater Good Well I grew up on PROG and punk....
@@samiam7241 He has no time for it!
@The Greater Good I was into Queen, Genesis & UFO when punk hit the scene, loved it! Ramones, The Damned, The Pistols and many others no place for snobbery in good rock music.
@The Greater Good Try Punishment of Luxury they are both.
BLT( Bruce Lordon and Trower) album was a awesome.
Excellent picks, man! I have a few here:
Shadow King - S/T (1991) kind of a "super-group" with Lou Gramm, Vivian Campbell and masterminded by Bruce Turgon, a gem!
Red Dawn - Never Say Surrender (1993) David Rosenthal´s project, awesome!
Atlantic - Power (1994) terrific AOR/Hardrock
Mystic Healer - S/T (1998) Marc Mangold´s project, ellegant, totally vintage sound
The Magnificent - S/T (2011) this one you may not have heard, but by all means, check it out, I can bet that you won´t be disappointed; norwegian AOR/Hard project from Frontiers Records.
Greetings!
Sea Hags, Burning Tree, Cry of Love.
Cry of Love has made 2 records.
Salty dog another good one
@@patrickarrington738 Salty Dog has 2 albums
David and David "Boomtown". Great album.
Andromeda
Black Cat Bones
Fuzzy Duck
Tin House
Wildfire
Incredible Hog
Burning Plague
Warpig
Sex
Power of Zeus
Wildfire..... with that gorgeous girl on the cover! I remember that one, long gone now with my collection of 3,500 LP's that i ditched. Im a CD man. The music was hot, and i waited for a 2nd release but nothing.
Love Fuzzy Duck, Warpig and Power of Zeus! I better check out the others. I have a resissue of Andromeda I have not heard yet. thanks for the list!
Whitford/st holmes- great album
R.I.P. Frankie Banali of Blackthorn and Quiet Riot.
Pride & Glory - Pride & Glory, IMO one of Zakk's best, also Barry Goudreau's solo album has some great songs.
Tear Gas has 2 albums, the other one is called “Piggy Go Getter” came out in 1970.
Yep,have both the Tear Gas albums on cd and an original vinyl copy of 'Piggy Go Getter'
WHITFORD/ST. HOLMES - underrated hard rock album.
Saw them open up for B.O.C. and Foghat.
Hughes/Thrall is my all time favourite studio album 🇬🇧🏍
Great show with a great idea !
Isn‘t Brainticket also a one-album-wonder ? The craziest brainwashing trip double-LP ?
And (ironic) Status Quo ?
Big apologize, I love Quo but I have to admit that often it sounds very the same.
OK this could be say also for DRI and Slayer etc.
Good to have this channel where stuff land under a microscope and get analyzed !
Brainticket released more than one album. 7, I guess...
I know it doesn't really count but..
PROBOT, Them Crooked Vultures.
Nice selections, own both
4 Non Blondes! Brilliant record!
My contribution here...
Flashman (1977) Vanguard Records. .....A+ Progressive-rock with a dash of poppiness.
What was working against this group...they entered the music business a year too late for the progressive rock genre.
some AOR albums:
Alias - Alias
Sheriff - Sheriff
Touch - Touch (from 1980)
3 more picks:
- Speedway Blvd - s/t(1980) Solid Pomp Rock album feat. Jordan Rudess!
- Princess Pang - s/t (Great female fronted early 90s Hard Rock band)
- Last Of The Teenage Idols - Satellite Head Gone Soft (Fun late 80s Sleaze Metal band from UK)
I'd never heard of that Blackthorne album before so I checked out the couple of songs that are on UA-cam- it's absolutely killer!
Gotta have Blind Faith on this list.
I've always been confused why King Crimson in 1969 is considered the 'first' progressive albums. "Days of Future Passed" and "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" were both released in 1967, & seem to have many elements of 'prog'. There are others in the 67-68 timeframe that had some prog elements (e.g., Procol Harum's debut).
Well if you look at the lineage the predecessors seem more like the elements that would go into prog music. They dont seem all encompassing as a progressive rock album and seem better placed into the "psych" category. King Crimsons first seems to be the first that is purely prog. At least that's the idea I get from people who have explained it to me
I think it mainly has to do with how ITCOTCK took those elements to a new level entirely. Those other albums were still very much rooted in psychedelic rock.
@The Greater Good exactly
@The Greater Good too much whimsy like the gnome and scarecrow to be acid
Queen and paul Rodgers, not a good album very poor,just didn't work they are all great artists but no
