Saga would be a great example! Heep definitely. Would early Elton John be considered? Golden Earring and Focus have prog elements as well. Awesome show guys
-
The Flaming Lips have some albums that may surelly appeal to 'classic' prog fans - 'The Soft Bulletin', 'and Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots', to name just two.
-
First 3 Journey albums. Debut is my favorite out of the 3. Schon's playing is blissful.
-
Pete: we will name 5 almost prog artists each. Martin: here are about 5000 bands that i think are almost prog. 😂 Great show. Really interesting discussion. I definitely fall in line with how Pete sees these bands.
-
Cheers Martin & Pete. Great show today. Here are a few more ‘modern’ type of ‘Almost Prog’ bands: Muse- Origin of Symmetry, Absolution, Black Holes and Revelations, The Resistance Radiohead- OK Computer, Kid A, Amnesiac Primus-Frizzle Fry, Sailing the Seas of Cheese Faith No More- Angel Dust Jeff Buckley- Grace Collective Soul- Dosage
-
Uriah Heep "Salisbury"- the song definitely pushes all of the Prog buttons : Length, orchestrations, brass, excellent wah-wah solo, excellent lyrics...!
-
LOVED this episode! Alan Parsons and Moody Blues are 2 of my and are considered almost prog. I also love the Kath Era of Chicago and all of those are progy, especially 1, 2, 3, 7 and the rest have elements of it
-
The Godley & Creme era of 10cc were amazing!!
-
Great to include overlooked Jane Siberry by Martin, I always loved the album version of Mimi on the Beach.
-

Excellent episode. A lot of bands featured that I'm a big fan of.

Perfect choices for your #1 picks guys! So much to debate for this topic.
-
Fun episode, thank you! I would also throw Talk Talk and Fields of the Nephilim into the mix.
-
Great episode. Some others for consideration: crack the sky, queen, be bop deluxe, mike oldfield, muse, Grateful Dead Terrapin Station suite, early split enz
-
Great episode guys! Some more I think could be on Martin's and Peter's sides: Peter's vibe: Crack the Sky Procol Harum Automatic Man Queen It Bites (80s version) Saga Journey (early, first 3 lps) Martin's vibe: Be Bop Deluxe Television Talk Talk This Heat The Stranglers Peru Ubu The Tubes
-
XTC is my favorite band of the 80's, hands down!!
-
Great episode. You really nailed this one ! I would include some post-rock stuff and Scott Walker to the list. Artists also worth mentioning: Talk Talk, Mogwai, Radiohead, Joni Mitchell and Björk
-
I like the question Pete put out there "What was prog in the '80s?" A good topic for future (?).
