Post What Heavy / Progressive Rock You Are Listening to...

Frank Marino, another cool cat (in the early days). I remember listening zillions of times to the 1978 live album (FM and Mahogany Rush)
 
I listened to that live album also a few times. I never owned it, but one of my friends had it, and in those days people got together and listened to albums.

But one thing that is missing is hard, heavy or progressive rock, whether it is from the 70s, 80s, or later

I gotta figure that after 12 pages someone else might have mentioned this already, but just in case...

Hard Rock, Heavy Rock, and Progressive Rock strike me as two if not three separate (sub-)genres. There is so much "Progressive Rock" that is neither Hard nor Heavy...and a shit-ton of Hard and/or Heavy Rock that is most definitely not Progressive (or progressive, lower-case).

Be that as it may...

I've been a bachelor all week, with the missus out of town, so I've been listening to a whole mess of Yes, both old original videos from their Peter Banks/Tony Kaye days, as well as videos from the 1989 Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe tour. Definitely Progressive (in the upper-case sense, at least), rarely Heavy or Hard. And if my wife were home she'd be complaining "What is this crap?!?!"

Of course they are various sub-genres which are somewhat related. The thread started as called Classic Rock with that intention, but it turns out the European definition of that is different to those in the US who think R.E.M or something is included. Hence the thread is now titled what it is. Which is mentioned within the first post and in ongoing posts.

Always good to listen to Yes. For the rest I am now a widower for the rest of my life so I would be very happy to still be able to have someone complain about what I was listening to. Count your blessings.

It sounds like the words are about Sir Coverdale, himself. His voice is awesome when he doesn’t have to try to reach the high registers, and this has always been one of my favorite songs. Great arrangement, too!
