Prog Rock Fans: What are some of your favorite Prog Rock songs

[LynneSin]

I know that I'm known for being this big Led Zeppelin fan but to be honest - Prog Rock is without a doubt my favorite genre of music. Hell my top 10 list of favorite bands is overwhelmingly filled with prog rock bands including Pink Floyd, Yes, King Crimson, Moody Blues and Queen (which is an off-shoot of prog rock). Rush & Jethro Tull make the top 15.

So what are some of your favorite Prog Rock songs (not just bands but songs).

[Fire Walk With Me]

1. "Red" by King Crimson.

[asthmaticeog]

[Burma Jones]

2. Echoes, Skating Away on the Thin Ice of a New Day, Tuesday Afternoon

Perpetual Change....

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. Dogs, Pigs, Locomotive Breath, Thick as a Brick, Broadsword, Lavila Strangiatio, Starship Troopers

Cygnus X-1, Xanadu, Nu Somme de Soleil (not sure on spelling for that one), Crimson's version of "Mars", Supper's Ready, Dance on a Volcano, Welcome to the Machine, Hey You, and anything from "League of Extraordinary Guitarists".

And, I'm sure, rather a few more.

[Droopy]

5. Some newer stuff

"The Suffering" and "Welcome Home" by Coheed and Cambria.

And for more of a prog metal flavor "The Dark Eternal Night" by Dream Theater. I also like the older Dream Theater album called...well...I forget what it's called. Got it around here somewhere just can't find it. It's got a kick ass song on it called "Metropolis."

20. In terms of Spock's Beard...

...I'm more of a "At The End Of The Day" man, myself. One of the greatest drum fills of all time in that song.

Your Porcupine Tree choice makes me realize a) how hard it is to pick a favorite, and b) how quickly they became one of my favorite bands of all time.

[B3Nut]

29. At The End Of The Day does seriously rock

and to be fair, my only 'Tree album is Deadwing, but I had to mention it since I really liked it. The title track is really good too, I love the descending Mellotron figure on the second half of the verse, it adds delicious tension.

I need to get In Absentia and their new one, I know...

Todd in Cheesecurdistan

[bbernardini]

31. Actually, you need to get ALL of them...

...and the side projects. :) Keep in mind that a bunch of the older albums now have two versions out there: the original, and the remastered versions, which in some cases sound vastly different, and often have real drums replacing the original drum machine track.

[FredScuttle]

21. "And You And I" by YES

Not only one of the greatest prog rock songs, but one of the most beautiful love songs ever



I. Cord Of Life

A man conceived a moment's answers to the dream.
Staying the flowers daily, sensing all the themes.
As a foundation left to create the spiral aim,
A movement regained and regarded both the same,
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you.
Changed only for a sight of sound, the space agreed.
Between the picture of time behind the face of need,
Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid,
Emotion revealed as the ocean maid,
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you.
Oh.


Coins and crosses


Turn round tailor, assaulting
Never know their fruitless worth;



all the mornings of the interest shown,



presenting one another to the cord,
Cords are broken,

All left dying, rediscovered



Of the door that turned round,
Locked inside the mother earth.

To close the cover, all the



interest shown,
They won't hide, hold, they won't tell you,

To turn one another, to the



sign at the time float your climb.
Watching the world, watching all of the world,
Watching us go by.

And you and I climb over the sea to the valley,
And you and I reached out for reasons to call.

II. Eclipse

Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid,
Emotion revealed as the ocean maid,
As a movement regained and regarded both the same,
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you.

III. The Preacher the Teacher

Sad preacher nailed upon the coloured door of time;
Insane teacher be there reminded of the rhyme.
There'll be no mutant enemy we shall certify;
Political ends, as sad remains, will die.
Reach out as forward tastes begin to enter you.
Ooh, ooh.

I listened hard but could not see
Life tempo change out and inside me.
The preacher trained in all to lose his name;
The teacher travels, asking to be shown the same.
In the end, we'll agree, we'll accept, we'll immortalize
That the truth of the man maturing in his eyes,
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you.

Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid,
As a moment regained and regarded both the same,
Emotion revealed as the ocean maid,
A clearer future, morning, evening, nights with you.

IV. Apocalypse

And you and I climb, crossing the shapes of the morning.
And you and I reach over the sun for the river.
And you and I climb, clearer, towards the movement.
And you and I called over valleys of endless seas.

[Aristus]
