So, a month after your previous video upload, I assume Tara's still in Canada spending all her money on obscure American LPs and Dermot is in Ireland working hard and combing the cat (while listening to Chicago). I've been learning all about (to me) obscure and unknown prog bands by watching the Sunday live streams of The Prog Corner and most of Scot's other videos plus a few from Andy Edwards and Harold's Prog Rock Channel. By the way, recently I purchased from bandcamp a copy of Science & Sanity, the 52nd album by UNIT and I can now announce, officially, it is my favourite album of 2024 even though it actually came out in December 2023. Also, thanks to your channel and also to Scot Lade, I've discovered Family with that bonkers vocalist. I selected an album at random from amazon and bought it. I chose Fearless (complete with bonus tracks) and it is one of the best albums I've ever heard by anyone! The harmony vocals...the bass guitar playing...the lyrics...the music...the vibraphone (UNIT echoes there). I'm starting to think progressive rock just might be The Best Music In The World! So thank you, Tara, Dermot and Scot.
I’m one of those strange people who actually likes both eras of the band of course the earlier albums are superior but I also appreciate the more pop driven music that they put out in the 80s

Thank goodness for Peely. 1977 and incredible bands like wire,The fall,Joy division and lots of fantastic bands on from there. I did like some of this stuff but glad to say my soul was purged once I heard the first Ramones offering. This stuff leaves me cold to say the least.
Nigel of Half man half biscuit summed up Prog rock rock admirably when he said in the depths of hell there is a trap door leading to prog rock eternity. I can only imagine having to sit through anything by yes. The will to live might leave me.
Yes, I'm back (although it's curious - we say 'I'm back' and 'I'll be back' but never 'I'm front' and 'I'll be front' - I wonder why that should be). I've been working on material for our next album so I avoided virtually all social media / external stimuli except for my regular daily dose of Ben Shapiro, naturally. Now you can return to Ireland, show all your newly acquired LPs to your dad and watch him grind his teeth with envy!
I don't know if you're aware of this but you have another fan - chap in the comments bought your Science & Sanity album and rates it very highly. I prefer the latest one, Am Yisrael Chai, but both have their excellent features even if I do find some of the lyrics a bit too politically right wing for my delicate liberal sensibilities!
Maybe do an episode about the Yes solo albums? A few are excellent, and even the Howe albums have some nice instrumentals, if you can get past the gag-inducing vocals. Chris Squire's Fish out of Water is, IMO, an undeniable prog masterpiece. And you couldn't do all the Wakeman efforts, probably, but at least Six Wives is worth a deep dive. (And he did the wonderful excerpt from that on Yessongs, so it DOES count as Yes, pretty much).
I had given up on Yes after the wretched Tormato came out, but Drama was an absolute breath of fresh air. I loved it at the time, and as the years have gone by, I've come to appreciate it more and more. To me it was the last "great" Yes album. In fact, Drama now stands firmly their top five. (CTTE, Fragile, Going for the One, Yessongs, and Drama, if you're interested!)
Loving what you guys do. How can anyone criticise this? The world is beyond me sometimes. Not a criticism but I thought Queen II might have made an appearance. Not quite prog rock? I dunno.
Hi, I'd like to make a comment re the Chicago album featured, actually the group of Chicago albums 5-6-7-8 are my best; contains great elements of rock / jazz -rock / acoustic -rock - magical musicianship, enjoy ! Have you heard the Krautrock bands - Guru Guru / Grobshnitt / Kraan and any Scandinavian bands like Host / Landberk / Kaamos / Wigwam / Tasvallen Presidenti ?? check them out !!
Nice job. For my own history with this band, I loved U.S.A. and I loved Thrakattak way more than you did -- anyone who loves that huge menacing improvisatory side to the band -- indeed, who thinks it's precisely this side of the band that separates them, will love these, I think.
Look at all those Sick, sicko Nanoparticles (SRM) above , by the drive down the Lee, and no one gives a damn...but that crap is going right up Ur hooter and crossing the Blood /Brain.😢 barrier.. virus, brain fog .EPA ?
Wonderful to see the superb classic 'John Barleycorn Must Die' by Traffic featured here! It's great that you spotlight such gems that often get overshadowed by the more prominent Prog giants.. 'Blind Faith' by Blind Faith (also with Steve Winwood on vocals and keys) is another excellent album that deserves more recognition!
great haul for the new Progcouple! the biggest thing you guys could face is, you see a Prog or otherwise record you BOTH WANT. Who gets to buy and own it? Or like in a scene in the new music-themed film "The Greatest Hits", is it something that has to have "joint custody"? I must admit, a few times, I let my wife have the record we both wanted (Capital Cities "A Tidal Wave of Mystery" for example). However on Record Store Day many years ago (2019?) the GHOST WORLD soundtrack was availlable, but we found only 1 copy. And while my wife likes the film, GW is my favorite movie ever, so it was mine being a bigger fan. or if there are 2 copies, you get 2? more expensive for a couple's income/budget, but hey.
I agree with both of you atom heart mother is a great album unfortunately the Floyd thinks differently they have all claimed that they hate the album or at least that's what I've seen in various interviews with them over the years
