Prog Rock

The Floyd remains my all time fav rock and roll band and I know yall feel that way too.

I like how prog and fusion jazz and experimental all cross into each other.

Straight-ahead jazz is a jazz music style from the period between bebop and the 1960s' styles of Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock. It is considered the lingua franca of jam sessions, and can usually be contrasted with smooth jazz.

Soft Machine are an English rock and jazz band from Canterbury, named after the book The Soft Machine by William S. Burroughs.

Soft Machine's music has been described by critics and journalists as progressive rock,[5][27][44][45][46] experimental rock,[47][48] jazz rock,[49][50] jazz[5][51] and psychedelic rock,[27] as well as being a part of the Canterbury scene of progressive rock.[5][46] According to Hugh Hopper, "We weren't consciously playing jazz rock, it was more a case of not wanting to sound like other bands; we certainly didn't want a guitarist."[52]

The title The Soft Machine is a name for the human body, and the main theme of the book (as explicitly written in an appendix added to the 1968, British edition) concerns how control mechanisms invade the body.

First heard this song at a 3 day Halloween party in Chicago, in a 3 story brownstone. Some Hells Angels crashed the party but were fun and shared their experiences with us. Nobody wanted to leave the party so we slept on couches, the floor, etc. Woke up the next morning to find out a girl in a stripper costume had crawled into the blanket with me to get warm. I asked her how she knew she would look good in such a costume and she quietly said "these are my work clothes". The 2nd night the cops showed up on the street below as someone was barfing off the balcony, and we got nervous as we had a lot of weed. However, they were really interested in the cathouse across the street. So here we were, about 25 crazy art college students. I forgot to mention that the glass doorknobs had been removed and "bloody" mannequin hands were put in their place. A full suit of armor greeted people at the door in the darkened hallway with sinister red lights where the eyes would be. There was so much snow on the cars the next morning that the only way I could figure out which one was mine was to clear the snow off the windows and look inside. In which I found a couple making out. I apologized and said "Carry on keeping up your end of the Chicago tradition".

The Geraldine Fibbers were an alt-country band founded in 1994 by Carla Bozulich. Initially, band members included Bozulich, Daniel Keenan, Julie Fowells, William Tutton and Kevin Fitzgerald.[1] While Bozulich had previously been known for noisy industrial music, The Geraldine Fibbers fused American roots music and blues-influenced punk.[1]

I discovered Les Claypool when he played at Coachella seven, or so, years ago. I don't think I realized at the time he had been with Primus.

The band writes what they call "endtime ballads,"[7] signifying both the slightly macabre nature of their songs and their unusual blend of styles as the final evolution in music. This blend has led to them being called everything from stoner-prog to freak-folk to doom.[8]

Gudrun is regarded as a classic by many fans of progressive rock.[2]

The second most famous Canadian band

Rubber Maiden

Climbed a route called KINGS X in Eldorado Canyon...

While in Houston, the group met Sam Taylor, then vice president of ZZ Top's production company. Taylor quickly became interested in the trio and convinced them to change their name to King's X.

King’s X is a term used by schoolchildren to indicate a brief break from a game, known as a truce term. Usually, the cry King’s X is accompanied by the gesture of crossing one’s fingers.

The Oxford English Dictionary cites this gesture as the origin of the term King’s X, though it may also be linked to the King’s Mark. This was a seal affixed to documents, including documents guaranteeing safe passage or other favors to subjects carrying it.

The Queen of Sheba Visits Solomon
10 When the queen of Sheba heard about the fame of Solomon and his relationship to the Lord, she came to test Solomon with hard questions. 2 Arriving at Jerusalem with a very great caravan—with camels carrying spices, large quantities of gold, and precious stones—she came to Solomon and talked with him about all that she had on her mind. 3 Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too hard for the king to explain to her. 4 When the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon and the palace he had built, 5 the food on his table, the seating of his officials, the attending servants in their robes, his cupbearers, and the burnt offerings he made at[a] the temple of the Lord, she was overwhelmed.

6 She said to the king, “The report I heard in my own country about your achievements and your wisdom is true. 7 But I did not believe these things until I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, not even half was told me; in wisdom and wealth you have far exceeded the report I heard. 8 How happy your people must be! How happy your officials, who continually stand before you and hear your wisdom! 9 Praise be to the Lord your God, who has delighted in you and placed you on the throne of Israel. Because of the Lord’s eternal love for Israel, he has made you king to maintain justice and righteousness.”

10 And she gave the king 120 talents of gold, large quantities of spices, and precious stones. Never again were so many spices brought in as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
