Show 8 - Classic Prog
This week we'll have songs mainly from what I consider the golden period of rock....1970-1976. I was a little too young to see most of these bands in their prime.
Hope it will bring back some memories.......... 1) Traffic - Glad - John Barleycorn Must Croak A fine starter. 2) Elton John - Out of the Blue - Blue Moves One of the most underrated records and a great prog instrumental. 3) Focus - Focus, Anonymous - Focus Couldn't pick between the two.....a special thanks to Keith for coming through with the goods. 4) Beatles - Rain - Past Masters Vol. 2 Why not? 5) Genesis - Seven Stones - Nursery Cryme A beautiful tune, kind of forgotten in the catalogue. 6) Chicago - Poem 58 - Chicago Transit Authority This record kicks ass. The tune is basically Terry Kath showing off and then a verse. 7) Kansas - Song For America (same) One of my favorite Kansas tunes. Structured so nicely. 8) T2 - No More White Horses This is from a 3 cd set (Legend of A Mind) also given to me by Keith a while back. A great tune. 9) BOC - Subhuman - Secret Treaties One of the best records IMO ever made. They were way ahead of their time. 10) Scorpions - Inheritance - Lonesome Crow Their 1972 debut is basically Michael Schenker going to town on jazzy/rock songs. Except for a handful of tunes on Lovedrive, this is his only appearance with the band. When they added Ulrich Roth, they changed their style dramatically. 11) Heart - Dream of the Archer - Little Queen I could have picked anything from this record . 12) Deep Purple - No,No,No - Fireball Yes Yes Yes! Man what a rocker..... 13) King Crimson - Easy Money - Larks' Tongues In Aspic Dee da do dow dow..da do dee dow...da da dow...da do do... 14) Queen - March of the Black Queen - Queen II A monster tune, full of twists and turns. Shows the versatility of the band. 15) Jethro Tull - Life's A Long Song - Living In The Past The minstrel sings an all too true tune. 16) Led Zeppelin - No Quarter - The Song Remains the Same Love this version. 17) Wishbone Ash - Time Was - Argus Close your eyes and enjoy. 18) Robin Trower - Lady Love - Bridge of Sighs I'm saving my favorite Trower tune for a few weeks....in the meantime, this will do. James Dewar has such a bluesy vocal. 19) Styx - The Grove of Eglantine - The Serpent Is Rising Styx at their prog apex. Lots of Genesis influence on this tune. 20) Pink Floyd - A Pillow of Winds - Meddle A mellow one to float to................. Gentle Giant - Three Friends Prologue Schooldays Working All Day Peel The Paint Mister Class And Quality? Three Friends All of GG's traits rolled into one. You got the mellow, the xylophones, the wild guitar. Three Shulman's on this one! This CD is timeless. |

looks like a great show rick. We're gonna have to get together sometime, Secret Treaties is one of my favorite albums, and March of the Black Queen is an awesome pick. Not familiar with that Elton song as Blue Moves is one of the very few Elton albums I don't have, might need to pick it up now. Also the first Chicago album is pure classic.

Blue Moves is I think after Rock of the Westies. It has instrumentals and some really sad tunes, including "Tonight". There's a cut with Crosby and Nash on it, and the one you would have heard is of course "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word". He actually calls his band "The Elton John Band", and there's a lot of involvement by the other musicians. It's got a lot of depth. |

Blast -
I've just discovered I'll miss this show as I'm going Monday to Copenhagen to see J.D.Lang . Yes I know it's a lapse of reason but by God can she sing. Wouldn't be too bad if I could listen to the net in the car or trains, but that ain't possible yet. Sorry Rick - bad piece of long term planning from me.
