More King Crimson. Less Pink Floyd. And would it kill you to play Prog. less than 30 years old? Are you sure you’re not a classic rock show?
Well Halie Mills, [thanks for listening, but] if you listened to the show regularly and checked out the archive, you’d see that James and I play plenty of prog from all of it’s eras and various sub-genres, spanning it’s origins in the 60s up to the current trends, with some of our favorites being Marillion, Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater and Transatlantic, among many others, all of which were formed within the past thirty years. And the classic golden era prog we do play, probably doesn’t get much if any airtime on classic rock stations anymore. So I’d suggest you actually listen to the prog we play, than complain that we play Floyd’s The Wall on Concept Album Wednesday.
And if anybody has specific Prog Band requests, please post them here.
More Mastodon!
It shall be done Mr. Big!
Hey guys, killer stuff you’re playing. Looking forward to operation mindcrime on Wednesday. Its great that you guys play such a diverse mix of prog, various time periods and genres.
if you don’t mind, play some Galahad and if you get the chance some Opeth.
When are you going to start playing some “White Gold”? I really want to hear the B side of the album “Battle for MILKquarius”
