Queen - Live at Wembley Stadium

CD-Charts > Music > Progressive
starring: Freddie Mercury, John Deacon, Brian May (II), Roger Taylor, Spike Edney
directed by: Gavin Taylor

Release Date June 17, 2003
Excellent performance! Queen plays a lot of their hits, including my faves of theirs: Bohemian(sp) Rhapsody, and We are the Champions. Freddie also sings a few hits by other stars, such as an Elvis Presley song, and one of Rickie Nelson's. I must say that they may even be better than the originals. I was a little disappointed that Queen did not sing their song "You're My Best Friend." But, that is a minor point. The songs and performance are wonderful...and I play the DVD frequently. The world really lost an amazing man and an excellent performer when Freddie Mercury passed away. Definitely a five star performance: All Queen fans will surely love this DVD. I know I do!

Aqualung

CD-Charts > Music > Progressive
by: Jethro Tull

Release Date February 09, 1999
When people talk about progressive rock being dull and dated and pretentious, they surely can't be thinking of Aqualung. Jethro Tull's gospel-weary opus may be full of flute solos and lyrics about man's relationship to God, but it still rocks more righteously than anything Guns `N' Roses ever did. There's not a Moog synthesizer or an extended suite to be found (except for the title track, and it's not really all that extended), and pyrotechnical displays of instrumental prowess are kept to a tasteful minimum. Classical influences share space with strains of blues, folk, and a bit of gospel. The lyrics, even when they become abstract, make sense more often than not, and they're almost always poignant. The band even insists that it isn't a concept ... Read More:

Elect the Dead

by: Serj Tankian

Release Date October 23, 2007
I think he would have been better off staying with System of a down! I looove that band and now they broke up and made their own albums. Both Serj and Scars on Broadway are pretty terrible albums. Download one or two good songs, don't buy the whole album.

Pink Floyd - Live at Pompeii (Director's Cut)

CD-Charts > Music > Progressive
starring: David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Roger Waters, Richard Wright (II)
directed by: Adrian Maben

Release Date October 21, 2003
Pink Floyd Live At Pompeii - Great, great, great, great!!!! This DVD contains the "Director's Cut" as well as the original concert film. Basically the Director's cut features lots of extra visuals, including computer graphic recreations of Pompeii, the exploding Vesuvius, and other things like NASA shots of rockets going up into space, space walks, images of suns and stars and moons and planets, all the usual things you'd expect of someone depicting a "space rock" band. It also has some extra bits from the studio in Paris when they were recording "Dark Side of the Moon." The Directors Cut starts out with space and planets animated instead of the big zoom-in to the arena in Pompeei of the original film. Not really an improvement, although it's nice ... Read More:

David Gilmour: Remember That Night - Live At The Royal Albert Hall [Blu-ray]

CD-Charts > Music > Progressive
starring: David Gilmour
directed by: david mallet

Release Date November 20, 2007
Get this blu-ray only if you are an audiophile because the Dolby TrueHD 5.1 track will knock you off your feet with its chilling presence and sound envelope.....hats off to the sound engineers on the HD side....as of video i would give it a 7/10 for the immense graining and the inconsistent clarity...but this concert is about music and it delivers beyond expectations..

In the Court of the Crimson King

CD-Charts > Music > Progressive
by: King Crimson

Release Date November 22, 2004
I am fortunate enough to own both the original LP and the remastered CD. I love them both. This music is not for one who simply wants to be entertained. One must mentally interact with it.While all the musicians are exemplary, Bill Bruford's brilliant percussion is the glue that holds these compositions together. At first glance, it falls into the genre of progressive rock...only because when it was produced, the term fusion was not used to describe music. There is a solid rock performance, no doubt; but it is far more complex with underpinnings of jazz and classical...21st century schizoid man is a very "tight" yet meandering composition, with a most brilliant variations in timing. I talk to the wind is light and ethereal...you can really "feel" the ... Read More:

Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd

CD-Charts > Music > Progressive
by: Pink Floyd

Release Date November 06, 2001
this is a good CD if you're a casual listener looking for Pink Floyd's best songs. less expensive and less cumbersome than buying their complete set and not bogged down by lesser songs. if you're a hard core fan you will probably find this CD lacking in continuity. Pink Floyd albums were not simply a collection of singles they were a coherent continuous package. that continuity is lost when compiling a greatest hits album.

Low Spark of High Heeled Boys

CD-Charts > Music > Progressive
by: Traffic

Release Date March 19, 2002
I stumbled across this album late (1975) and recall being fairly floored at the time that I was not familiar with it (albeit that I had had John Barleycorn for years prior).

Simply put, Steve Winwood was a genius on the emotive and exploratory edge of electric guitar, something that seems entirely lost to multiple generations of guitarists and listeners. Listen, if you will, to the trailing guitar licks on Light Up or Leave Me Alone and tell me if you don't feel the presence of something 'bigger' than the rest of all the BS garbage guitar work out there these days. And yet listeners who don't, in fact, listen will have no idea what I'm talking about...

Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys (the song) sits at a level above Stairway, Gimme Shelter, ... Read More:
