BBC Prog rock

Brlliant programming, so many memories, so much talent.
I think it's on all week............Mike Oldfield, ELP, King Crimson, Moody Blues, Soft Machine, Yes, Jethro Tull, Ayomic Rooster, Caravan, and loads more!

And Wishbone Ash

[SteveO...]

Interesting the Pink Floyd's music was used on at least a couple of occasions, yet they never really got more than a passing mention. Perhaps nobody was available to comment...

Otherwise, pretty interesting stuff.

I would never have put the original Ash into the prog rock box...still labels don't matter, it's what you like that counts...

I would hardly call the Ash prog. Damn you for making me rake through my CD's to have a listen.

Absolutely, I was surprised to see them on the Prog Rock program, very underated group in my opinion

Dunno if they are that underrated. Argus was a huge seller, and acclaimed -

" The band's eponymous debut album, Wishbone Ash, was released in 1970. One year later, the group released Pilgrimage. The band struck gold in 1972 with Argus, their commercial peak.[citation needed] The album was voted by the readers of Sounds magazine as the"best rock album of the year". Also "Top British Album" (Melody Maker magazine). "Argus" has become one of the all time "Classic Rock Albums" The band were getting international acclaim for their live performances as they gained popularity around the world.[2]"

I've seen them many times, and have always liked them. They always had a problem with the vocals being weak IMHO. That could be why they never really hit the dizzy heights.
