It's interesting. Something was progressive in 1973, is it still progressive over 40 years later? Or has 'progressive' just become a label which doesn't actually mean progressive any more?
Not disagreeing with your analysis, just musing aloud

I know what you mean, Jim. Listening to many modern "progressive" bands, although some of them are quite good, they are more derivative than progressive, as none of them actually produces anything new.

[Jim]

I confess to not being entirely sure what is 'progressive' or 'cutting edge' any more :-(

[Patti (baconater)]

I'll show that list to Dave this evening. Wonder how he'll feel about it.

Perhaps.

He may just grunt at me if he's very tired.

Fridays are his ridiculously busy days at work this year.

Back in the days of vinyl, it was much easier to recognise prog rock, to wit:

1. Are there fewer than 5 tracks on the entire album?
2. Do they have really pretentious titles like 'Pantagruel's Nativity' or 'In the Land of Grey and Pink'?
And, most significantly,
3. Is the cover art by Roger Dean?

OK, I may have oversimplified a little.

[David]

And each 'song' was divided into several parts.

[Patti (baconater)]

Dave read it and grunted that he agreed with Geoff.

I'll ask him to read it again tomorrow. I can't accept that Geoff was right.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Geoff is right occasionally!

Yep, if only for Dave's sake.

Listening to Rory Gallagher this morning, specifically the album Calling Card.

A great guitarist, sadly lost. I remember going to see him in Birmingham in the early 70s. He turned up and announced that because the equipment van had broken down everyone would get a refund. He also said that he had his 12 string with him and an amp and he was going to perform and if anyone didn't fancy it they could leave.

Amazingly, some people did and they missed one of the best concerts I've ever attended.

[David]

The only time I managed to see Rory Gallagher was sometime in the mid-70s.

I do like Calling Card.

I'm 39. I used to be with it, but at some point they changed what "it" was. Now when I go in the local pub the staff listen to music I consider to be utter guff while they often have not heard of any of the bands I like. In fact some aren't certain what a band even is.
But today I listened to Right Place Wrong Time by Dr John and it was superb.

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

I'm mellowing out this morning, listening to the sublime Nick Drake's Bryter Later. Wonderful.

In celebration if the new Dave Gilmour album that's out tomorrow, I listening to Dark Side of the Moon.

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

I'm listening The Best Band in the Land by CCS, this afternoon. Great sound - Blues and rock compositions with a big band sound. It works really well.

For those who are unaware of CCS, they were the creation Alexis Korner, a very famous Blues name and the voice of the Kodak film adverts on television during the late 1970's and early 80's before his untimely death.

During the 1960's he was joint founder of the legendary Blues Incorporated. The names of band members of this group is like a who's who of 60's music.

One story was that one of the singer's asked to step in for a performance when Korner's Blues Incorporated members failed to show. He agreed and this was the first performance of the Rolling Stones.

Not heard the Paloma Faith version, but from what I've read, it's probably as well.

I'd give you the url link, but you are too much of a friend to subject you to it. Unfortunately, it's not quite bad enough to become good.

Adele's latest, or at least a little bit of it. After the disappointment of Sam Smith's Bond and the screeching of Paloma Fath's "The world in uniyuoun", we finally get some good music.

Now THAT should have been the Bond theme! Great stuff.
