10 of the best uknown prog albums

[Roger -Dot- Lee(Admin)]

I'm surprised that nobody's mentioned the absolute KING of Prog that isn't Prog: Igor Stravinsky wrote many charts that couldn't possibly be considered anything BUT prog. The firebird suite still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up, and Rite of Spring caused a freaking RIOT in Paris when it was released.

My kinda guy, actually.

Hi, Dot. I appreciate your comment.
Actually my knowledge about classical music is poor so it's a pleasure for me to know Stravinsky's works more.
Would you please let me know your recommended albums?

Thanks.

I consider Stravinksy anything but prog. Sure, he's out there and makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up, but prog is short for progressive ROCK. Stravinsky's not rock. Likewise, there are thousands of non-prog rock songs (and songs of other genres) that make the hair stand up, and they're not prog.

Just my two cents.

I agree with spaz but there is no denying how much of an influence he has had on prog ROCK.
