| pre-prog prog
prog songs or albums that came before KC's Court, the seminal "birth of prog" proggity prog prog prog, its such an ugly word | | 1 |  | The Moody Blues
Days of Future Passed
THE best symphonic rock album ever, one of my 5s that will remain that way for a long time. r.i.p graeme edge too | | 2 |  | The Beatles
The Beatles
i think the beatles can be credited with a lot of proto progressive rock, stuff like a day in the life, happiness is a warm gun, the big one and tomorrow never knows were all seen as a kind of influence for the stuff that followed | | 3 |  | The Doors
The Doors
the end and light my fire with marathons of instrumental breaks, and jim morrison's freakish lyrics at times | | 4 |  | Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band
Trout Mask Replica
predates Court by like 4 or 5 months?? either way, listen to like the first fifteen seconds and you'll see why almost nothing has been THIS progressive in the 50 years gone by since its release | | 5 |  | The Velvet Underground
The Velvet Underground & Nico
heroin just be hittin different thE SONG I MEAN THE SONG | | 6 |  | Soft Machine
Volume Two
literally a month older than the absolutely earth-shattering Court, but you can see prog starting to rear its ugly, twisted, jazzy, psychedelic head | | 7 |  | Pink Floyd
The Piper at the Gates of Dawn
interstellar overdrive, from what ive heard, sounds different every time it was played, including the (allegedly one-of-a-kind) studio version, very improv, very fantastical, very prog | | 8 |  | The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Are You Experienced
yasss jimi slay pioneer psychedelic and progressive guitar techniques yaaaaassss | | 9 |  | Frank Zappa
Hot Rats
again this came out like twenty minutes before kc dropped their debut but jazz fusion is basically prog rock at this point. officially qualified. plus captain beefheart was on this so its extra weird so consider this album officially double qualified. | | 10 |  | Corey Feldman
Angelic 2 The Core
sure they SAY it came out in 2016 but we know this album is timeless. i mean get real motherfucker this shit couldve been bach and none of you wouldve batted an eye. epic. classic. timeless. pure prog. fuck you, this list sucks, bye | |

12.22.21 | Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys is an unusual omission | Cimnele
12.22.21 | ohhh i cannot go back to your froooownnnnlaaaaaand | Sabrutin
12.22.21 | Rare Bird's 1969 debut sounds like pretty much prog rock
Chicago's debut also could count (songs like Introduction) | JKing92
12.22.21 | I would probably also add "When the Music's Over" to a list of the Doors' proto-prog tunes, personally.
I also might argue in favor of "A Day in the Life" being on a list like this, though I can understand if people disagree. | Jethro42
12.22.21 | Procol Harum
The Nice
Pretty sure a lot is missing...List is a good start. | menawati
12.22.21 | nice jethro | Jethro42
12.22.21 | According to Progarchives, it's band The Nice. Their 3rd album is Nice. Nice to meet you, mena! Merry Christmas! :) | menawati
12.22.21 | haha didn't mean that, just nice to see you still here, merry christmas to you too | Jethro42
12.22.21 | It's funny cos at first glance I've seen it that way, and then I thought you intended to correct me :). I'm really glad to see you again on sput as well! | bgillesp
12.22.21 | Listen to Grateful Dead- Anthem of the Sun. First 3 tracks are top tier proto-prog imo | MrSirLordGentleman
12.22.21 | Procol Harum is one of the biggest examples. The Nice works as well as Jethro said
A cool list nevertheless | Jethro42
12.22.21 | Deep Purple - Deep Purple.
Merry Christmas, people! | wham49
12.22.21 | the first CTA album | wham49
12.22.21 | The Flock
Spirit | wham49
12.22.21 | the grateful dead/Anthem of the sun | TheSpaceMan
12.22.21 | im not on sput very often so forgive me if yall are active, but cool to see old prog heads like menawati and jethro summoned by this list < 3 | MrSirLordGentleman
12.22.21 | jethro's pretty active
mena's like finding a shiny pokemon | TheSpaceMan
12.22.21 | we can let jethro be shiny gyarados then | Jethro42
12.22.21 | Whoa I'm flattered, SpaceMan. Nice to see you again as well! Cheers! | BillyBrill
12.23.21 | really cool to see some big sput names in these comments! and yeah i definitely missed a lot, will check out a lot of these suggestions! some of them i didnt deliberately omit, they just didnt cross my mind, this being a spur of the moment procrastination activity, still thanks for the suggestions all | Demon of the Fall
12.23.21 | This list leads to embarrassment...
for me, as I've only checked a couple here. Shameful. | BillyBrill
12.23.21 | DUUUUUDE no embarrassment these are all SO worth your time (except the last one that one is genuinely an assail on the senses, but its VERY funny) but def check them out |
