Your Best Prog Rock Track of All Time ?

[Zoophonic]

If asked a few years ago I would have said Close to the Edge - Yes but lately I’ve been immersing myself in Gabriel’s Genesis. There’s a host of candidates but

Suppers Ready, from the album Foxtrot. Wow what a piece of music this is.

Supper's ready is brilliant. Genesis are a band I ignored for a long time, got into the Gabriel era albums a few years ago, better late than never, there's some great stuff on them.

Are Focus Prog Rock ? if so Sylvia. Although doesn't sound very prog to me. Not that I know much (anything) about the genre.

 

[Lefty]

Best prog rock song?

Hmm, I'll have a think about that after I've decided on my favourite bout of piles.

 

[Cardiffdaffs]

Focus deffo for me regarded as Prog Rock and Sylvia a great track.

Going back to early Genesis and Cinema Show is a top song as is Firth of Forth from Selling England by the Pound. However can’t beat Supper’s Ready or The Musical Box from Nursery Cryme.

Fair enough each one their own - I have the same feeling about the folk music genre (but wouldn’t come on to a thread to diss It). In fact I probably held a similar opinion about Prog at one time but the older I’ve got I’ve spent time listening to it. Some of it is brilliantly put together, melodic and full of emotion. I concede plenty of it isnt but that’s the same with any musical genre And taste.

It must be the only rock track (Somebody will prove me wrong) that has yodelling in it! I love this track

Hasn’t Dreams by the Cranberries got some yodelling on it?

 

[Wiseman_Vaughn]

Hasn’t Dreams by the Cranberries got some yodelling on it?

Quite possibly. I'll look it up - A yodelling playlist might be in order

Edit: More like progressive yodelling rather than trad - more a sort of La la de de ah ah ah sort of thing

Can I have this?

You're right on both.

Saw Steve Hackett at the Globe a few weeks back and he played this.
