Your favorite prog rock music? ?

I too like Man but my favorite recording is the live set "Maximum Darkness." John Cippolina's guitar work is really tasty.

I think someone needs to define Progresive Rock. I always felt it was when other elements or styles of music were introduced to Rock n Roll. Example side two of King Crimson's Lizard or Moody Blues Days of Futures past.

Also the term progressive rock was coined in response to groups that started to write longer songs which allowed the musicians to play solo's on their instruments. Kind of like Rock n Roll's response to improvisation in jazz.

The early Roxy Music is definitly Progressive rock. Look who played keyboards Brian Eno,there were songs that were long and afforded them time to solo and the keyboards were from moog to piano. We should google Progressive rock because half the bands mentioned don't fit its definition.

Here some we missed:
Marillion(all the stuff with Fish on vocals)
The Flock
Alquin(early stuff before they sold out)
Frank Zappa(Uncle Meat,Burnt Weeny Sandwhich,Zappa in New York etc.)
Refugee
Lake
Maxaphone(great album)
Manfred Mann's Earth Band
