[Jackpine Radical]

2. The note was sour because there was a hole in the bag.

20. Bagpipes.

I'm having a nice, autistic little conversation with myself here.

[muriel_volestrangler]

4. All Long prog rock tracks

Emerson Lake & Palmer; Pink Floyd; and Genesis.

For the record, Supper's Ready would be my choice, but this really is a Lounge thread.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

Oops - I mean't "One of These Days" from Meddle, but it's probably too short.

[nolabear]

28. First time I heard that I nearly had a heart attack.

As with all Floyd, I grew to love it.

[sigmasix]

25. Echoes

echoes has always been the one.

[Bennyboy]

26. Yep......

32. mojo

The latest issue of mojo magazine has an article about the making of meddle. There is a cd compilation included with a track by wooden shjips that rivals lots of longer prog/pastoral psychedelia.
I prefer Genesis' "the Lamb Lies down On Broadway" or "Carpet Crawlers" over "Supper's Ready". ELP never really struck me as adept at making pop from a prog sound. I've never thought that Floyd was a prog band- more like an odd pop band that uses elements of music that have been appropriated by the Progrssive Rock bands to come along after. Floyd's influences, other than stockhausen and cage were always pop and blues with some trad jazz. Syd's Floyd was a very different animal from the floyd that recorded "Meddle"- and they would change thier sound and principle song writer more than once during the existence of the band. Meddle was the last album they would create working together. DSOTM and the rest of the 70s and early 80s Floyd sound was mostly bassist Roger Waters' work. When Waters left in the early 80s he anounced that Floyd was dead. After a commercially unsuccessful solo album (about face) Gilmour went about resurrecting the Floyd dinosaur for two more original albums (written by a team that included Gilmour and his future wife-to-be, journalist Polly Sampson) and some very lucrative world tours.
The Floyd had 4 different incarnations and each one has it's own sound. Meddle is the culmination of the period wherin all the members contributed to the sound equally. I've never heard any prog/psych album that even comes close to producing the same amount of excitement and wonder.
Negativland's "escape from noise" is my next favorite.

31. Karn Evil 9

Pure genius. Saw them in concert at California Jam and will never forget Keith Emerson and his rotating keyboard get-up. The man never missed a note.
