According to the experts Blues has influenced a lot of musicians, but sometimes difficult to attribute a single Genre to a Song let alone a Band, I guess that is why they seem to apply several Genres these days.

Some softer Blues/Rock tunes from my list:


John Mayer...Slow Dancing in a Burning Room



J J Cale...Magnolia



Alannah Myles...Black Velvet

I have Black Velvet in my collection, great song. The only youtube JJ Cale I have is at Crossroads with Clapton, you can see the respect he has for Cale.


The Mayer track is new to me, again, really good, thanks Matt.
 
Matt - thanks for the wikipedia link, another interesting listing.

I liked a lot of 'melodic' prog rock (not too weird) and have records or cd.s from several/many bands on the list but of course, probably the majority I don't know of.

I would count as prog rock the likes of Genesis, Rennaissance, Camel, Pink Floyd, Yes, MMEB, Jethro Tull to name but a few and others on the list due to the degree of orchestration, diverse influences like jazz, folk and classical into rock and frequently in the seventies the use of electronic keyboards, but some of the others?

If you think back to the explosion of youthful diversity in the sixties and seventies .... Bands like Genesis, Focus, Pink Floyd to name but three were astonishingly different.



The 'why are you on the list' bands. I have several Queen cd's but never thought of them as prog rock, they are surely unique classic rock, nobody sounded like them. Did just Bohemian Rapsody do it?



I have a large Wishbone Ash collection, but again would not necessarily class them as prog rock, just really innovative song writers and really good rockers.


Is it, 'if you look at this wide list we might be able to flog you some other band?'

Kev,

I do like orchestration but I only have a few prog rock songs on my playlist including Queen of course.


There's some great kettle drum and sax action in this Aussie 80's tune, this was back in the day when there were actual corner shops everywhere in Australia. Now gone, together with Milk Bars, usually owned by Greek immigrants, where you could get a Chocolate thickshake in an aluminium or thick glass tumbler to wash down your Aussie hamburger, with beetroot of course. One upside is that many were converted to Coffee shops where I can get my regular kick of caffeine ☕
