Aargh - I really shouldn't wait till Friday to write up Monday...

Not much happened today other than compiling a few prog playlists, having been set the task of creating an 80 minute introduction to the genre for a novice...

My main one would be "Close to the Edge" by Yes, "Supper's Ready" by Genesis, "Way of Life " by Gentle Giant and the whole of "Karn Evil 9" by Emerson, Lake and Palmer...

I discounted King Crimson as Robert Fripp always insists they were not prog...

Of course I couldn't leave it at that, I then chose my "top ten prog acts" and chose one track by each - adding back King Crimson plus Van der Graaf Generator, Jethro Tull, UK, Focus and Pink Floyd to the above...

Then, using those same ten bands, one track from each of the years from 1969 to 1978...

This is how I waste my time...

Talking of which, the entire evening was spent watching TV...

So it goes...

Highlight of the Day : Listening to prog...
