I Talk to the Wind - King Crimson

I also saw Steve Hackett several weeks ago, in Carmel, Indiana. Played every song from the "Seconds Out" live album. Amazing show from start to finish. Didn't want it to end!!!!!

Entangled by Genesis. Love the guitars and the mellotron.

Thank you, Pete for remembering the 14 victims of the school shooting. May they Rest In Peace. 🙏🏼

Rush-The Garden (probably their most beautiful and poignant song and what a way to say "goodbye"). It Bites-Ice melts into water. Opeth-Burden. Just thinkin' about those 3 makes me shiver! Cheers.

'Wonderous Stories'. !

'One Summer Dream' by the partly prog E.L.O. I have always loved this song very much since I bought the FTM vinyl back in the day. On the pop side of E.L.O, 'Strange Magic' is also another song that I never get tired of hearing...

Cannonball- Weather Report Dawn- Mahavishnu Orchestra Different Strings- Rush Epitaph- King Crimson Matte Kudasai- King Crimson Dust in the Wind- Kansas (will never get tired of this song) Entire Damnation album- Opeth And many others that I can’t think of right now.

Nice job, Ken for mentioning ‘Soon’! I agree it is one of the best pieces of rock music I’ve ever heard. Powerful stuff for sure.

In Too Deep- Genesis Your Own Special Way- Genesis Marooned- Pink Floyd Grantchester Meadows- Pink Floyd Lavender- Marillion Babe- Styx Dust in the Wind- Kansas Legend of a Mind- The Moody Blues

“Old and Wise” by the Alan Parsons Project, sung by the great Colin Blunstone - and for an instrumental, “To the Unknown Man” by Vangelis. Both heartbreakers for me. And does “A Salty Dog” qualify? You mentioned some of my favorites tonight: One Time, Turn of the Century, Funny Ways, I Talk to the Wind (I like the Judy Dyble version too). I love the live version of C’est La Vie that’s on In Concert and Works Live. As for Loreena McKennitt, I heard “All Souls Night” on the radio many years ago and was entranced by it, and bought her whole catalog. I once saw her live from the front row - I remember “The Bonny Swans” was the song where she gave her electric guitarist the chance to rock out. My favorite of her albums is The Book of Secrets. Thanks guys!

“Entangled” is one of my favorite Genesis songs.

'Home' by Jethro Tull has always been a favourite of mine. Doesn't get mentioned very often, if at all, but it is just so beautiful and really conjures up feelings of nostalgia and sentimentality. When I hear the words 'Down steep and narrow lanes, I see the chimney smoking. Above the golden fields, know how the robin feels', my imagine takes me to those scenes.

Fabulous Show!! Excellent idea!!!

I feel musically inept sometimes listening to you progsters. It can be the most obscure band or song and Chuck would be giving the thumbs up.

Forget Soon (that's a cheat pick! ...and you absolutely cannot have it without the preceding 20 minutes), To Be Over is a gorgeous softie and a perfect ending to Relayer.

I love "Afraid of Sunlight" by Marillion. The live version is amazing; Hogarth's vocals are absolutely beautiful.

The Professor Of Prog blindsided me!!! Silent Lucidity is a great pick!!!

"Think of Me with Kindness" Gentle Giant

Crack The Sky!! Wow. There's a blast from the past. Years ago, I worked in a dental office in Baltimore and Jon Palumbo came to our office for dental work.

Great shout on Kansas ‘Lonely Wind’ One of my favourites by my second favourite band!

As someone who actually loves, or even prefers ballads and mellow, atmospheric tracks, I could never narrow this category down to only 5, but I'll give you five that came immediately to mind. I'm keeping it to one song per band, though, or the whole list could be just Moody Blues or Marillion with Hogarth... 1) The Moody Blues "Isn't Life Strange" 2) Marillion "Season's End" 3) Mystery "My Inspiration" 4) Barclay James Harvest "Nova Lepidoptra" 5) The Beatles "She's Leaving Home" (and yes, latter day Beatles were definitely prog)

1)Which Way The Wind Blows - Anthony Phillips 2)Dont Give Up - Peter Gabriel 3)Panacea - Rush 4)Dust In The Wind - Kansas 5)Home - Jethro Tull 6)Babe - Styx 7)Happy Nightmare - Focus 8)Lend Your Love To Me Tonight - ELP 9)Dusk - Genesis 10)Dont Let It Show - Alan Parsons Project

A great subject and a great episode! So many mentioned in this episode are my favorites. Many of my favorite prog songs are "softies". Here are some of mine. Genesis - The Carpet Crawlers (I like all versions including the later remake) Genesis - Blood On The Rooftops (I am surprised this one was not mentioned). Van Der Graaf Generator - Refugees Pink Floyd - Cymbaline King Crimson - I Talk To The Wind Uriah Heep - Circus Strawbs - Starshine / Angel Wine (The first part is a "softie" and the second part is less so... a great combination). ...and there are so many by Marillion ...and The Moody Blues are a given of which I absolutely adore. EDIT. How could I forget... King Crimson - Islands (I really like the latest live version, oh so good!)

Another really good show, thanks to everyone that took part.

Yes! Finally some love for Loreena My top 5: 1.Marillion - Easter 2.Spock's Beard - Ghosts of Autumn 3.Loreena McKennitt - Penelope's Song 4.Yes - Time and a word 5.Dream Theater - The Spirit Carries on Hon. Mentions: Peter Gabriel - Mercy Street Opeth - Hope Leaves King Crimson - Epitaph Genesis - Afterglow Flying Colors - Peaceful Harbor Pink Floyd - Green is the Color Steve Hackett - Serpentine Song

An obvious one- Dust in The Wind by Kansas.

For me, the ultimate Prog Softie is: "North Star" by Robert Fripp

Great shout for Saga’ Images’! Beautiful piano work and drums outro!

The reference to ‘Grace Darling’ is great. Very early lifesaver on the north east coast of England across the River Tyne south side from me north side. Steven might mention this, albeit he is Scottish, but the Scotland border is just 70 miles from me in Tyneside.

Love Alive and Lighter Touch-Heart.

Great show guys. For what it's worth my 5 would be: IQ - Ocean (The Road of Bones) Anthony Phillips - God if I saw her now (The Geese and the Ghost) Peter Gabriel - Mercy Street (So) Vangelis/Jon Anderson - So Long Ago, So Clear (Heaven and Hell) Big Big Train - Endnotes (Common Ground)

Well, I posted on this thread yesterday, or thought I did, but it seems to have disappeared. So I'll try again. First of all, splendid show, fellas - one of the best yet! I love the concept - so many great ballads in progressive rock. Here's a few that I came up with, trying not to duplicate any that any of you mentioned (can we all agree that Genesis "Entangled" may be the best ever??! 🙂): 1. Strawbs, "Starshine/Angel Wine", from Ghosts. 2. Genesis, "Many Too Many", from ATTWT (had to mention one from that album, given our recent discussions on that one!). 3. Arena, "Crying for Help IV", from Songs from the Lion's Cage". 4. Camel, "Breathless", from Breathless. Great vocals from Richard Sinclair. 5. Barclay James Harvest, "Mockingbird", from Once Again. 6. Echolyn, "Entry 11-19-93", from "As the World" 7. Jethro Tull, "Reasons for Waiting", from Stand Up. 8. Tony Banks, with Fish, "Angel Eyes", from Still. 9. Moody Blues, "Eyes of a Child", from To Our Children's Children Children. 10. Anthony Phillips "Now What (Are They Doing to My Little Friends)", from Wise After the Event. Thanks for a great show, guys! Bests, Brad

Great show! I was thinking about Renaissance, wondering if it would get a mention, sure enough but I had to wait for the very end. I think I would've mention some Italian prog, like "La carrozza di Hans" on the first PFM. Thanks everybody for those great listening ideas!

Chad’s choice of "Oh Life (There Must Be More)" by Alan Parson Project has David Pack on vocals. This whole album “Try Anything Once” maybe one of the most under appreciated APP albums. David Pack’s vocals on the Ambrosia albums was phenomenal, and easily many softy prog songs are on those. Of course APP essentially started with Ambrosia included.

Lover-Caravan. Nights in White Satin-The Moody Blues. Bedside Manners are Extra-Greenslade. Turn of the Century-Yes. Different Strings-Rush. The Book of Saturday-King Crimson.

“On An Island” good call too, that entire album is great.

Wow, I'm quite amazed that not one of my all time favourites was picked : 1. Curved Air : Melinda (More or Less) (from 'Phantasmagoria') 2. Pink Floyd : Julia Dream (Single B-Side) 3. Genesis : Dusk (from 'Trespass') 4. Van der Graaf Generator : Afterwards (from 'The Aerosol Grey Machine') 5. Le Orme : Gioco di Bimba (from 'Uomo di Pezza') Great pick by Ken with Loreena McKennitt - what a stunning voice! I got her complete catalogue on CD, but I'd rather put her in a Clannad Folk Rock corner than on the Prog Seat.

5. "23/24/11" off The Living Tree, by Anderson/Wakeman (2010) 4. "Stuck in the August Rain" off Roots to Branches, by Jethro Tull (1995) 3. "Hygge" off The Depths of Winter, by Tiger Moth Tales (2017) 2. "Immortal Beloved" off Symphony of Light, by Renaissance (2014) 1. "Proper Jack Froster" off Welcome to the Planet, by Big Big Train (2022)

Great show guys; to Ken Golden - thank you so much for mentioning Loreena McKennitt - a much beloved musician here in Canada. It brought to mind another artist, Eva Cassidy. Are you familiar with her rendition of Sting's 'Fields of Gold'? Unfortunately she passed away far too soon, but what a beautiful, "pure" voice that we all should hear. Thanks Ken.

Great show Prog Gentlemen. Great picks. I would include Vision from Peter Hammill, Camel’s Long Goodbyes and Big Big Train’s The Wide Open Sea.

Thank you, George, for giving a shout-out to Nathan Peachey of Teramaze. Incredible band. Incredible vocalist. Her Halo (song/album) is some of the best prog metal recorded in the last 30 years.

Incense and Mihr- Arch Matheos Another day- Dream Theater The Garden- Rush We all need some light now- Transatlantic Ariel- Anathema

Another terrific outing, guys. Brilliant theme, too...could have been two shows, minimum! Outstanding picks, as aye...oh and welcome back to Chuck...missed those mellifluous tones! I know it got a fleeting mention, but I utterly love Book of Saturday by Crimson. Heard it when I was around 13, in 1972...how that impacted one so young, I know not...but it did...still does. My honorable mentions go to Anthony for Stay...a Floydian gem...and Steven for Tuesday Afternoon...a stone cold classic from the Moodies. In The Prog Seat...just goes from strength to strength... 👏👏👏

Old And Wise, Alan Parsons Project’ album, Eye In The Sky is one of my favourite songs and singles! Beautiful! Also ‘So long Ago, So Clear’ on Vangelis’ (RIP!), Heaven And Hell sung by Jon Anderson. Also, Nevermore’ on my favourite album of all time, Queen II! Ripples, Entangled and Mad, Mad Moon all three from Genesis’ Trick Of The Tale album.

A few of my favourites are - Nektar - it's all over Camel - summer lightning (with a great extended guitar solo) Pallas - something in the deep Barclay James Harvest - the song they love to sing Jethro Tull - and further on

My pick’s softy’s are 1 Genesis ripple’s 2 pink Floyd. Great gig in the sky 3 procol harum. Luskus delph 4. Steve Hackett. Hoping love will last Randy Crawford beautiful vocal gorgeous 5 Steve hillage palm trees love guitar from green.

Some of my favorites, in no order... - Washing of the Water - Peter Gabriel - Wond'ring Aloud - Jethro Tull - Sweetness - Yes - For Absent Friends - Genesis - Runnin' Away - Ambrosia - If Anything - IQ

Full house this episode, great to see.

Wish you were here - Pink Floyd. One of the greatest songs ever written. Love of my life - Queen. Intimate and the vocal delivery is spellbinding. Untouchtable Parts I & II - Perhaps the most beautiful piece of music I've heard in the last decade. Blackbird - The Beatles. Perfect. Silent lucidity - Queensyche. Rych doing Floyd, what's not to like. Ship of fools - Robert Plant. lush...

‘Soon’ is part of the track Gates Of Delirium, so not a separate song. Agree with everything said it about it though!

Shadow Of The Hierophant - Steve Hackett, is one of my favourite soft tracks. Though the second half of the song when done live can get very heavy

Life’s a long song-Jethro Tull Lucky Man-ELP Pillow of winds- Pink Floyd Book of Saturday - King Crimson Jennifer-Faust

GreatShow!!!! A lot of songs I will be checking out!!!

1- Herbie Hancock : Butterfly (the ultimate softie) 2- Happy The Man : At The Edge of This Thought 3- Genesis : Entangled 4- Jean-Luc Ponty : Nostalgic Lady 5- Rush : Losing It

Nice show, thanks! These comes to my mind for now: - Kate Bush "Moments of Pleasure" (also "And Dream of Sheep" & "Mother Stands for Comfort") - Peter Gabriel "Wallflower" - Pink Floyd "If" - Queensryche "Killing Words" (MTV Unplugged version - amazing!) - Saga "Intermission" (what a great guitar solo by Ian Crichton!)

Another great show. More mellow songs are great in many situations. That said, not sure if all the songs listed could be characterized as prog or "softie," but defer to you the experts on those points. My top five at the moment are (in no particular order): 1. Sketches of Spain (for Miles) by Buckethead (more discussion of him--whose music is really across genres, including prog, IMHO, on this channel, please) 2. Drive Home by Steven Wilson 3. Dust in the Wind by Kansas 4. Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd 5. Lazarus by Porcupine Tree Honorable Mentions (in which I'm taking a bit broader view of "prog" and "soft": Padmasana, Witches of the Heath, and Dawn Appears by Buckethead (I could cite many more) Jacob's Ladder and The Trees by Rush The Sky Moves Sideways Phase 1 and The Moon Touches Your Shoulder by Porcupine Tree (I would definitely add Arrivind Somewhere But Not Here, but too "hard" for this list?) Empire of the Clouds and When the Wild Wind Blows by Iron Maiden

Great shout Pete on ‘Hold On’ Kansas!

“Entangled” is one of my favorite Genesis songs Eric, I was on the fence about choosing that as I didn’t feel it to be a true softie.

"Prelude - Song Of The Gulls" King Crimson "Afterglow" (Seconds out version) - Genesis "In My Time Of Need" - Opeth "Long Distance Runaround" (Acoustic version from QPR) - YES "Song Of the Seagoat" - Pete Sinfield

I know I am stepping out of the prog genre a little here (or maybe not?) but I have always liked this song and I find it fascinating as they never really recorded anything else quite like this. On the surface its a unique ballad but there is something eerie and sinister beneath the surface, that I can’t quite put my finger on and it makes the song even more interesting. Iron Maiden- “Strange World” “A look at love, a dream unfolds Living here, you’ll never grow old.”

Made me so happy to hear you talk about Puerto Rico!!!! And mofongo!!!! Glad you enjoyed my Island and I miss it every single day.

Excellent stuff! The best ballads in rock and metal are in progressive rock and metal subgenres My picks that were maybe not mentioned Orphaned land-norra el norra Anekdoten-pieces Dungen-åkt dit Dream theater-hells kitchen Van der graaf generator-lost Honorable mentions Jethro tull-look into the sun Riverside-caterpillar and the barbed wire King crimson-fallen angel Pink floyd-if Caravan-winter wine

In no particular order - Wishbone Ash - Persephone (There's The Rub) David Sylvian - Maria (Secrets Of The Beehive) Caravan - All The Way (Blind Dog At St. Dunstans Jon Anderson - Days (Song Of Seven) Cockney Rebel - Tumbling Down (Pschomodo) (pushing it with this one, maybe ?)

Speaking on Porcupine Tree softies, Pure Narcotic is absolutely my favorite. Gorgeous track.

Sea Song by Robert Wyatt is the ultimate one in oneiric heart-warming ballads from the unfathomable celestial abyss... Pure Canterburian bliss !

Hi guys. I'm really looking forward to listening to your lists on this episode! I'm writing this as I'm listening to the part where you discuss Genesis, and the current Hackett tour. I knew Ripples would make the list - gorgeous. And I did see Hackett in April. Just fantastic! Audience was wildly appreciative of the whole Seconds Out performance. That night they veered from his solo stuff (which I love) and did all of SEBTP. I was in heaven!! Oh, and I love Nad's drama and costumes! 🥰

Great show again Gents some excellent picks. Tough subject this but here goes. Supertramp Downstream ELO Can't get it out of my head Genesis Ripples ELP Take a pebble Julie Tzuke Stay with me till dawn

Yes-Onward, Genesis-Carpet crawlers, Pink Floyd-Paranoid eyes, Jethro tull-Slow marching band and Marillion-Easter

Just a couple that come to mind: Anathema - Internal landscape Crippled Black Phoenix - Goodbye Then Toby Driver - Smoke-Scented Mycelium Marillion - Out Of This World Porcupine Tree - Heartattack In a Layby Roger Waters - It's a Miracle

Elke by Camel Dusk by Genesis Yesterday and Today by Yes A Pillow Of Winds by Pink Floyd (featuring fretless bass by David Gilmour) Beautiful by Marillion Honorable Mentions: Do I Love You? by Annie Haslam You’ll Never Get To Heaven by It Bites Spider and I by Brian Eno For Absent Friends by Genesis Wallflower by Peter Gabriel Mother Of Violence by Peter Gabriel Voices In The Sky by The Moody Blues Watching and Waiting by The Moody Blues

My first thought was genesis-mad man moon. Also really dig the virgin and the gypsy off hacketts solo album Spectral Mornings.

I love a good ballad. Always have, always will. Entangled by Genesis is the first that comes to mind but there's just so many that I love.

Driftwood. My favourite Moody Blues song!!!

In the End-Rush Ice-Camel Of a Lifetime-Journey (From their first album-very proggy) Can't get it out of my Head-ELO Soapbox Opera-Supertramp Late November-Pavlov's Dog

Off the top of my head, Riverside's "The Night Before" makes me wanna cry every time. I'm not sure if a softie is supposed to make you wanna cry but that's what I go for lol

Another great discussion. I'll add Todd's Utopia 'Eternal Love' from the 'Ra' album and Steven Wilson's 'Song of Unborn' from 'To The Bone'.

Great shout on Fish’ ‘Garden Of Remembrance’ Lewis!

Pete, I think the only radio station in the world who plays Kansas’ “Hold On” is WPDH. 😂😂. God, I love that song.

GOD BLESS UVALDE TEXAS. WE FEEL YOUR PAIN! 🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️

Glass Hammer - Having Caught a Glimpse, from The Inconsolable Secret. Absolutely beautiful.

Great Funkadelic Pick Chuck! Love those early records… been on a Parliament kick recently too!

Pete mentions Ocean Gypsy by Renaissance. To me, one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard is Carpet of the Sun, and the version I know is from Renaissance Live at Carnegie Hall.

Great choices by everyone . Here are a few more : Max Webster : Diamonds , Diamonds , and Words to Words Jethro Tull : Home , and Wond'ring Aloud The Strawbs : Hard Hard Winter , So Close and Yet So Far Away , and You & I ( When We Were Young ) Genesis : Time Table , The Lamia , and Heathaze Rush : Madrigal Queensryche : Silent Lucidity Captain Beyond : Starglow Energy Jon & Vangelis : Beside Supertramp : If Everyone Was Listening , Casual Conversations , Lord is it Mine , and Downstream . Cheers !!

just saw this episode and immediately thought of ABWH, The Meeting!! Maybe already given up by someone else, but this song is so beautiful

1- Harmonium- Histoires Sans Paroles 2- Harmonium- un musicien parmi tant D' autres 3- Harmonium- comme un fou 4- Harmonium- Le Corridor/ les premieres Lumieres 5- Heart - mistrel wind... ...my picks for today. Great to hear some love for Loreena Mckennitt!!! Highly recommend. Incredible musician, beautiful voice, my kind of songwriting 💖 cheers with beers folks!

Holy Lamb is one of my favorite songs ever.

Most things by Renaissance (especially Ocean Gypsy or Can You Understand), Marillion-Estonia or Easter or Sky Above the Rain, Yes-Onward, Rush-Available Light, Jethro Tull-Home

Fabulous segment ! Kudos to Ken for promoting The Strawbs and Loreena McKennitt ( 2 musical treasures ) , to Eric who continues to sing the praises of Camel ( finally heard some respect for their 1st album ), Kudos to Steven for steadfastly recognizing the genius of Steven Wilson and PT , and finally to both Steven and Louis ( first time I have ever agreed with Louis , in fact rarely have I heard most of the albums Louis likes ) for recognizing the masterpiece that is Fish's final album. Kudos to Pete for recommending Scheherazade 's Ocean Gypsy .Now a question for a man ( Ken ) who's opinion I have come to greatly to respect . I'm probably a bit older than all ( turn 70 in November ) . Do you have any positive feelings at all for a) Barclay James Harvest or b ) Bound For Infinity from Prologue by Renaissance ( Annie's first appearance ) or c) a little known or appreciated album by a King Crimson offshoot , entitled Mcdonald and Giles . I find a b and c to still all be stimulating after all these years . Enjoy your commentary each time I'm lucky enough to see SOT and especially find your knowledge of Krautrock to be top notch , although I've never heard you mention Tangerine Dream .

Lavender and Kayleigh Just Good Friends Fish(Love the version with Sam Brown)

Anthony Phillips - "God If I Saw Her Now". Phil Collins best vocals. Lovely song. The Incredible String Band - "First Girl I Loved" Matching Mole - "O Caroline"

Good show gents, my choices would be “Shadow of a Lonely Man” - Alan Parsons Project "Grantchester Meadows" - Pink Floyd "Fallen Dreams & Angels" - Pendragon "Winter Wine" - Caravan "Galadriel" Barclay James Harvest

Jon and Vangelis' entire 3rd LP, Private Collection, is an absolute masterpiece. The best release from the Softie Duo.

Crack the Sky - Play On Be Bop Deluxe - Crystal Gazing Genesis- Ripples Pink Floyd - Us and Them Moody Blues - Never Comes the Day

Steve Hackett - Hands Of The Priestess King Crimson - Cadence And Cascade Rush - Different Strings Asia - I Know How You Feel (Midnight Mix) Vangelis: Come To Me Enya: Caribbean Blue Mike Oldfield: Man In The Rain

Chuck strikes again! Crack the Sky.

Rush - Madrigal Tull - Fire at Midnight Chicago - Til We Meet Again IQ - Guiding Light

It's no joke Steven, the ladies love Opeth's Damnation. 😂🤘🤘

"Grace Darling" from that album, is one of my all-time favorite songs, overall!!!
