These are Prog songs from non-Prog bands. And I suppose it's all some genre twisting by me to make these prog songs, but they are prog. Just listen to them. They are long. They are maybe AOR or Pomp Rock, but not really. Go back a few days to see the Pomp Rock picks. There are a few of them. And this Pick will have a few volumes, too. Remember, I divide these up by CD length. So over the course of the next few days there will be over twenty songs. Some you will automatically know, but listen to them today from a Prog rock standpoint. Tell me you get it.

Where do you place Argent - Hold Your Head Up. or Earth and Fire - Maybe Tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteWell, it's not prog, but it's prog. The Hammond organ on Argent is amazing and sounds very prog. And Earth & Fire has that Mellotron sound, plus the guitar solos that definitely crossover. Both could easily be on another volume of this.
