Progressive Rock Guitarists

Post by Henry »

I found the article at https://www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/ ... jRVIGiuQuE to be interesting.

I'm not an expert on prog rock, but I am a fan.

Some of my faves made the list including Todd Rundgren.

Please indicate whether you think that Fripp deserves the top spot? I prefer Howe.

I know that Steve Hillage (number 13) worked with Todd on one album that was not bad.

Gentle Giant, Brand X, Dream Theater, PFM, Marillion and Caravan are each on the list. I don't know any of these bands very well, but do enjoy the following songs:

Gentle Giant: The Advent of Panurge, Peel the Paint and Acquiring the Taste.
Caravan: Golf Girl and Nine Feet Underground
Brand X: Why Should I Lend You Mine
Dream Theater: Pale Blue Dot - the article recommends "Behind the Veil."
PFM: Appena Un Po' and il Banchetto
Marillion: Fugazi and He Knows You Know

Please provide me additional song recommendations from these bands if you have any.

I am not familiar with any songs by Mother Superior (number 17 on the list is their guitarist Audrey Swinburne). Are any of you familiar with this band? I wonder if the band name came from the lyrics in the Beatles "Happiness is a Warm Gun."
