Yes, Alan Parsons Project, ELO, Rush.... i'm sure i can find more once i get my music collection back in order. i'm currently transferring it to my new PC. i'll check back with more later.
some people might not think Rush is progressive, but they definitely are in my book. |

thought of anohter good one, but from the late 60's. Frank Zappa's 'Hot Rats' is a brilliant album. it's a lot different than most of his other albums. this one is almost completely instrumental. whether you're into Zappa or not, it's a great album.
it's going to take me weeks to get through/sort my album collection, so i'll just try to throw stuff at you now and then. |

it's a little less on the rock side and much more on the jazz side, but you should check out some Miles Davis albums like In a Silent Way, Bitches' Brew, and Live Evil. all of them are great in my opinion and the music he made during this period is considered by some to be the birth of fusion. there are more than just these three albums during that period, but these were the first that came to mind. John McLaughlin plays on these three albums as well does Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea. those are just the ones i recall. anyhow, check any of it out. |
