I still have some in my bag, but I put it away some time ago, and I'm not bringing it back out. I'd share otherwise. Thanks for reminding me I have some.

I have to laugh. I'm actually a terrible storyteller compared to Eephus, krista4, simey, you, and the aforementioned wikkid. That's not by way of false modesty, either. My nod goes to you guys. Tons of good yardspinners in here. If otb was around, he'd have a worthy story or two also. Tons of people on this board can spin a yarn, but to also partake in a music draft and offer a critical analysis of said music? That's a rare bird, indeed. Good work, ladies and gentlemen.

I still might eventually, but with all the talk of Beatles prog, I figured I would start older and see how the playlist shapes up. I had 4 Floyd songs written down with Dogs at the top.

Scratch that. After doing a bit of digging, I found out that Al Wilson of Canned Heat -- fair-skinned, bespectacled and from Cambridge, MA -- actually re-taught Son House how to play Son's own songs from an earlier period during Son's life, and had perfected, by the age of twenty-five, that memorable high tenor that sounds so non-traditional, but was actually modeled after early bluesmen of the '30s. Canned Heat put out a bunch of albums, starred in Woodstock with the help of a riveting performance buoyed by a primo Saturday night dusk spot, and basically were becoming blues legends before Wilson died at the age of twenty-seven in 1970 from acute barbiturate intoxication. :(
This song and "On The Road Again," both featuring Wilson's tenor, are memorable indeed.

Oh, they were legit. They also worked with John Lee Hooker. Some people can't get past Wilson's Kermit-like vocals, but many of their songs were sung by Bob Hite, who had what was considered by the 60s to be a more conventional blues-sounding voice.
rockaction
Footballguy
I love his vocals. They're ethereal in a way. Yeah, I knew that they could play (it's totally apparent by the Woodstock footage), but always thought they were really a one-off creation, a Woodstock fluke, if you will. I did a little digging this morning and found out that they were really prolific in Wilson's short time and did have a more conventional blues-sounding singer in addition to Wilson. Anyway, just cool stuff to relay, you know? So many people that were so good at their craft still fly under the radar even though those people were so instrumental to music lore, some even helping to bring back or re-popularize an entire sound, like Wilson.

Yeah. Even more remarkable, Wilson was blind. (ETA: almost blind.)
They were a big part of the late 60s blues-morphing-into-blues/rock thing, and had enough of an audience that no one would have thought it odd they got a slot at Woodstock (and Monterey, too). But radio programming choices mean most people who weren't there at the time only know Going up the Country and On the Road Again.

I did a bunch of research for prog, and saw that I knew absolutely none of the songs they were talking about in their best hundred, best twenty-five, etc., etc. Even read a New Yorker review of Dave Wiegel's (the former Reason political commentator and WaPo guy) book about prog in which the New Yorker traced him tracing prog's history, and I still hadn't heard of a song that I knew. What a blind spot.
Just so far out of my wheelhouse. I think the Wikipedia offshoots are one thing, like I know [redacted] from Germany and the like, but true prog? Never even heard a song besides those from the one Canadian band everybody knows. (Who shall not be named.)
Oh, and I know the song "Sober" by Tool. Great song, just...that's about it.

@Pip's Invitation will you choose the "The Night" from the expanded edition album version on Spotify? It is the same song as on the other two album versions, but it is a bit louder. The other two are too low.

Jam On averages just under 8 minutes per track. It's early but I Heart Prog is on pace to beat that.

I picked this one because it says "Remastered" and I know you prefer the remasters when it comes to old songs. Is that the right one? https://open.spotify.com/track/2mhzgIs7y0ncBLTFOI14k5?si=9d67107dd60d4b89
simey
Footballguy
No, it isn't the right one. The Expanded Edition sounds the loudest, and it isn't that loud. Oddly, the remastered doesn't really sound remastered.

Not proggy ones. I've heard Genesis's pop, Pink Floyd's less proggy stuff on the radio at times, and the only thing I've heard by Yes is "Owner Of A Lonely Heart." But that's because I grew up a punk rocker at fourteen so I skipped right past the classic rock stations and the late sixties and early seventies. That's why I'll seem like such an ingenue about that era. My peers all grew up with it. I chose very early and very often to avoid it, for the most part. It never interested me as a youth. I listened to the oldies' (50s and early to mid-60s) stations back in the day if I listened to radio. My peers found it freakish, I found those stations to be head and shoulders beyond the classic rock offerings. I especially loved the oldies' stations proclivity to play sixties Motown and soul, as that was they only way we got it in the lily-white area of No. CT I grew up in. That alone made those the stations to listen to.
So yeah, not deep into Floyd, Yes, Genesis at all. I like Pink Floyd's radio stuff just fine. It's not animus. It's just how I came about musically.

Cool. I don't hate prog, by the way. I went out of my way to check lists and see if there was anything I could add, and for the first time in all of these, I didn't recognize a song that I could hum in my head. None. Nada. Zilch. Even a Floyd one that I thought I might have caught on the radio over a friend's house or in the car or whatever. Nope.
I could pick a cover of a proggy Floyd/Syd Barrett song that I always liked by the sort of thrash metal/proggy math rock band [redacted], but I'll let the experts do their work here.
And, see, I don't hate prog. I think Mogwai, Do Make Say Think, Red Sparowes, Explosions In The Sky, Godspeed! You Black Emperor, Tortoise, The Sea and Cake, Fly Pan Am, A Silver Mount Zion and other post-rock bands really owe a ton to prog and are in its lineage as part of the history of musical dialectic. Godspeed was listed as a top hundred prog band in a list I looked at, so there's a blurring there. Just not sure that they'd fit into traditional prog like ELP or Yes or King Crimson.
