Prog Rock at the Grove

Was listening to Genesis this morning and then wondered
what Genesis
songs were played down there? Vaguely remember In Too
Deep (hardly
prog,more 80's pop) and think I remeber Follow You,Follow
Me, but
can't think of anything else.
Then wondered how much real progressive rock Cecil
played.
Jethro Tull's Living n the Past and Hawkwind's Silver
Machine
immediately come to mind. I do remember Pink Floyd's
Money (not a
real prog track,and if I'm honest,it's actually most Pink
Floyd fans
least favourite song) and W.Y.W.H.,and of course Focus'
Hocus Pocus.
What other Prog Rock was played?

Edited by Floyd

Genesis - "You Have Your Own Special Way" was played regularly when I went there, 80-83.
Pink Floyd -"Fearless" was played now and then.
Yes -"Wonderous Stories".

Heya Martin,

The Floyd tracks that I recall were 'Us and Them', 'Another Brick in the Wall', 'Money' (which you mentioned), 'Shine on You Crazy Diamond' and 'Fearless'.

Yes tracks - 'Wondrous Stories' and 'Owner of a Lonely Heart'.

Genesis (probably my fave band of all time) tracks 'Many too Many', 'I know what I like (in your wardrobe)', 'Carpet Crawlers', 'Mama', 'Ripples', 'Abacab', 'Your own Special Way', 'Turn it on again', 'Follow you, follow me'.

Not sure what other bands fall within the 'prog rock' category - Greg Lake or ELP maybe?  Or Marillion?

If You like Prog. Rock

here's a radio station for You.

The Spirit of Radio by Rush,of course,one of the biggest
progressive rock bands in history (introduced to me by
Brunswicks brother many moons ago) often got an airing down
there too. And you're right Bruns + Robbie-Owner of a
Lonely Heart was a regular-possibly well out of their prog
era too,like many before them. Have a vague memory of
Wondrous Stories too-what a classic.
Yes,ELP were deffo prog giants (wasn't Fanfare...played?)
and Marillion carried the genre into the 80's,having
trouble remembering Kayleigh or Lavender though.

Martin - Temples of Syrinx and Bastille Day by Rush were also played in the early 80s.

God damn hippies!

Interesting Q Floyd...Bruns (the Guru of my era) got all the ones I remember.

You've some memory Bruns!

Right, I'm of to check out the web link.

Floyd wrote: Camel,Styx,Mike Oldfield all fall into the genre. Wasn't Mike Oldfield played? Asia were formed from the prog giants and Only Time Will Tell with Heat of the Moment were Grove classics.

Mike Oldfield, yep - one of those 'Christmas' songs and 'Moonlight Shadow'.  I dont remember him ever playing Styx but I always thought that "Babe" by Styx would have made a brill slow song down there!!
