I feel like nerd sharing, so here’s 10 prog videos I like:
10. Christian Vander – Otis
9. Robert Wyatt – Alifib
8. Gentle Giant – The Runaway/Experience
(at 2:40 the sickest lock groove ever, also gold medal for ugliest drummer)
7. Pink Floyd – Echoes (live in Pompeii version)
Bassline at 6:27 is my favorite bassline of all time.
6. Genesis – Supper’s Ready (Shepperton)
5. Yes – Don’t Kill The Whale
4. Osmonds – Music Through the Ages
With all the funky time changes, I think this qualifies as weird faux Sly Prog
3. Kayak – Starlight Dancer
2. Cardiacs – Ever So Closely Guarded Line
(last 3 minutes are prog heaven for me)
1. Henry Cow – Beautiful As the Moon
0. Captain Beefheart – Detroit ’71
because I’ve gotten into arguments about Beefheart being prog. So this is a bonus.
