No, completely different band. I can't recall off the top of my head any of their songs, but I do remember seeing them open for Triumph at Memorial Hall one time.

Did you win those tickets to the Monster Truck Extravaganza at the Carson Fairgrounds? I heard Big Daddy Don Bodean was there with The Bohemoth.

:hmmm:

Weird. I would never have pegged you as a prog fan.

I saw Wishbone Ash back in the middle 70s. Saw Camel (who I thought was OUTSTANDING) back then, as well...

Now here's a weird concert:

I saw Gentle Giant and the Edgar Winter Group on the same ticket....

Granted, I was working Security for extra cash at the time - but to this day, I still don't get it...

But, to their credit - Gentle Giant was really good!!

But I always really liked Uriah Heep.....

I was never much of a prog fan, outside of early Rush and Pink Floyd along with the occasional Yes and ELP songs. I recently came across a site called "100 Top Prog Albums" or something like that and decided to listen through all of them on Spotify and Youtube. I'm still not a fan of the bands that record hour long jazz fusion type prog but a lot of it was pretty good.

Speaking of under-rated and prog, the three Genesis albums right after Peter Gabriel left are really good. I always thought they went straight into the pop sound when Collins took over but they stayed with the prog stuff for a while. I really liked A Trick of the Tail and Wind & Wuthering. ... and Then There Were Three isn't as good as the previous two but still listenable. The next album, Duke, was where they went in the pop direction and I didn't care much for that album, though I like the song "Misunderstanding".

I've tried and tried to get into Gabriel era Genesis and it just doesn't connect with me.

**** the Blackhawks

Huey Lewis and the News

Nickelback

Johnny Lang.

Never became the super star his talent deserves.

Here he is at 16 years old.

Wut? I'm, like, THE prog rock guy on this site. Annoyingly so. But I'm pleased you recognize the genre. :thumb:

When they lost Steve Hackett in 1977, they abandoned their prog identity. And Then There Were Three is a transitional album, kinda up and down. Duke is where they struck the best balance between pop and prog. After that it was a steady journey into pop (although I do like Abacab).

I know. It was just a joke based on your username. :)
