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.

The Hooker and Canned Heat album is a bit odd.

Round 189

Hymn 43 - Jethro Tull (Prog Rock)

I’ll try to keep the average time down - it will be a short interlude within the mix.

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.

There's definitely common ground between post-rock and prog.

Round 186.xx

Category: Eightfold None The Earlier (Or Something Like It)

Song: Holidays In The Sun

Artist: Sex Pistols

Probably the most underrated track off of Never Mind The Bollocks..., its incendiary lyrics and monster riffage were the perfect way to kick off the album. The most underrated song off of still the most underrated album by the most underrated band that has still managed to hold a grip on public consciousness forty years after its arrival. Still dismissed by serious critics of the sort. Still making punks out of normal kids who feel a little...disenchanted with modernity.

I gotta go over the Wall
I don't understand this thing at all
It's third rate B-Movie show
Cheap dialogue, cheap essential scenery
I gotta go over the wall
I wanna go over the Berlin Wall
Before me come over the Berlin Wall
I don't understand this bit at all...
Please don't be waiting for me

@Ilov80sor whoever, please add this to the Noble Eightfold Path playlist.

PROG!!!!

189.YM - Xanadu - Rush

SNL Stefan voice: “This song has it al. Church bells, cowbell drum solos, lyrics by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. A song so good they even made a futuristic rollerskating movie about it (Olivia Newton-John’s cover of the song couldn’t hold a candle to this version though and wasn’t really Prog).”

You knew I had to do it.

Thank goodness Prog acts in the 70s and 80s were constrained to 40-50 minutes by the LP album format. Gatefold jackets of double albums were perfect for cleaning out seeds and stems.

Observation from virtual Farm Aid 2020 that I'm finally getting around to watching: Charlie Sexton has now joined the club of "rockers who now look like old lesbians."

I think the Covers Channel has been retired. You guys can choose to add this one to the playlist or not, but I love this story and wanted to post it here.

Some of y'all have probably heard of Brandi Carlile. She came up in the late '00s/early 10s boom of "Americana" artists along with Britney Howard and Rhiannon Giddens. She had a big left-of-the-dial radio hit in '07 with "The Story" (mainstream country stations wouldn't touch her). A year or two ago, she founded the supergroup The Highwomen (neither Golden Smog OR Bill Callahan were involved).

Anyway, a couple of years ago she decided to reach out to the friends she had made and do an album of covers on her breakout album. She asked Dolly Parton to sing "The Story".

Here's the original

Here's Carlile talking about asking Dolly to sing the song. It's #######g hilarious

Sexton had a small but significant role in The Good Lord Bird. I had to look it up on IMDB because he looked so familiar but I just couldn't place him.

Neil Young never did prog, but another guy I fanboi over has.

Round 190:

I Heart Prog

Utopia Theme -- Todd Rundgren's Utopia

The first Utopia album from 1974 combines prog with jazz/rock fusion to produce something thrilling but pretty out-there at times. The timing of the four tracks: 14:28, 10:18, 4:04 and 30:25. (Guess which one was the single?) I picked Utopia Theme, the 14-minute song, because it's the closest of the long songs to the kind of prog that was getting radio play at the time (though it has passages that are not like that at all.) The 30-minute song, the Ikon, is one of the wildest things ever released on a mainstream non-jazz record label, but IMO is more fusion than prog so I didn't think it was as good a fit for this playlist.

Pip's Invitation · Feb 13, 2021

Updated average song length on I Heart Prog: More than 10:30.

Eephus · Feb 13, 2021

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died

That's a nice cover. I saw Brandi at the Merlefest in '19. Me and the people I was with were pleasantly surprised at how great she was. She was the last act on Saturday night, and she came on right after Keb Mo. I remember her saying that she is usually a dayliner at festivals, but she was finally getting to be a headliner. She was awesome. Here is footage of her doing one of her songs at the show. I didn't record it. It was on youtube.

190.8 or 12 - Rick Wakeman - The Battle (I Prog)

Teenage Eephus was a huge Rick Wakeman fan. Part of it was that synths were new and cool. Some was because that was what my friends were listening him too. But it also coincided with my first pair of headphones: some big brown Koss cans that looked huge on my still developing head.

The stereo effects in Prog were unlike anything I'd ever heard before and started me down a lifetime of private listening. I got some new headphones today and listened to a bunch of of Wakeman. The records seem pompous today with their literary pretensions and overblown orchestral and choral arrangements . But hearing a synth sound oscillate between my left and right ears still brings a smile to my face.

It's over ten minutes but that's padded by narration.
