The thing about "superstar" lineups is that there's a question of chemistry and musical direction. I can't see Gilmour, Bruford, and Gabriel going in anywhere near the same direction, fabulous...

PTF: Anyone quoting from KC is aces in my book.

Ian Anderson messes up on a song from "Minstrel in the Gallery," if I'm not mistaken. I've got Pink Floyd going on the MP3 right now, so I can't hear it in my head. Ummm....damn.

Didn't Michael Shrieve play with Automatic Man?

Here's an odd suggestion: "Fade Away and Radiate" by Blondie. Yes, I know Blondie is hardly a prog band, but this one track seems to qualify, and not...

I thought I was embarrassed enough for liking Hawkwind.

Nothing wrong with liking the Ramones, Richard Hell, and so forth. But I blush to admit liking the Psychedelic Furs.

Wow, four out of the five. Now if they could only persuade Bruford to come around...not that it will ever happen, with his well-documented hatred of Chris Squire. Too bad.

The reason I like Trey Gunn isn't just because he's a Crimsonite. He's extended the idea of playing bass into realms I've never heard anyone else explore. I think the Warr Guitar and its entire...

re:

Throbbing Gristle

There was a greasy little band on the East Coast called "The Shake," did mostly covers of New Wave lite, headed by a guitarist named Jonathan Mudd (Roger Mudd's son). The band...

King Crimson suggestions

There's a tremendous amount of stuff from the boxed sets "Frame by Frame" and "The Great Deceiver" that is worth adding. Beware of some of FBF's material; some of the songs were edited. TGD has...

Re: Theme sets.

Damn, you said Radio CarolinE. I thought you said Radio CarolinA. I used to work at WXYC in Chapel Hill in the early '80s, where I honed my prog chops along with developing a fine appreciation for...

What's the lineup now? I assume Anderson, Squire, Howe, and White are in the band. Who's on keys? Did they use support musicians?

Am I too lazy to check the Web site?

Keith,

Thanks for the info. Makes me wish I had my turntable hooked up so I could listen to some old Heep.

Ivan,

Fascinating that you would choose Gary Thain. I always admired his work with Uriah Heep, but don't know of anything else he did. Any leads?

I'd have to hold out for Trey Gunn, either as the...

I consider Gabriel's solo efforts *very* progressive, but not necessarily in the sense that we usually use the label. I agree with most people that the first 3 albums slot in best with AM's style of...

I can understand your dislike of both, though I don't agree. Relayer was a major departure from the previous sound -- sort of "Yes on mescaline." Tormato is pleasant enough, and has some powerful...

I have to agree. Not to trod on any corns, but to my mind, Camel works best as bridge music between two better bands. "Let's play this Yes...

Looking forward to this one. Yes, there is such a beast as "prog punk." The Stranglers come to mind, as does some early Ultravox with John Foxx. Even U2's first album touches this area. I know...

Can't say the Dream Theater did anything for me, but I really liked the Ian Wallace album. That's worth putting in the library. Thanks for finding that one!

On Yesworld, I count 19 Yes albums after "90125," and I have very little use for any of them except for the ABWH album and "An Evening of Yes Music Plus," which was basically the ABWH tour recorded...
