This week in prog: is it prog? Why yes, at least three albums on this setlist should be immediately recognizable as progressive rock, but what of the Grateful Dead and Rainbow? Why yes, they are indeed progressive in some ways! Anthem of the Sun is a fantastically eclectic album with just as many twists and turns as any progressive effort. Rainbow fall more into the heavy metal genre, but the Uriah Heep influence in their music is palpable and they made prog influence in metal rather popular. Without further ado, here's the full list:
- The Alan Parson's Project - Tales of Mystery and Imagination: Edgar Alan Poe (Side 1)
- Traffic - The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys (Side 1)
- The Grateful Dead - Anthem of the Sun (Side 1)
- Captain Beefheart - Safe as Milk (Side 2)
- Rainbow - On Stage (Side 2) (Harmando pick of the week!)
