Lesser knowns..... ??? I'll have to think about that. Funny you mentioned it though, I was crankin Kansas - Masque, Left Overature, and Jethro Tulls Stand Up today in my shop. Tomorrow I'll get around to Aqualung and ??? I'll find something, maybe its time or ELPBSS and some Rush.
Wired/Blow by Blow were fusion jam recordings... progressive improv but not so much composition. Still highly recommended though.
Mahogany Rush could be somewhat progressive in a heavy blues, Hendrix, hardrock sort of way. I'll have to think about it tomorrow. I just recently got some Camel stuff and King Crimson but ... well I suppose I would have liked it more if I had of heard them back then. They seem to lack something I found in Rush, Tull and Kansas.
Here ya go talk about obscure and abit off the wall. Im a lifetime huge Crack the Sky fan. The first three albums. They were.?. maybe avant guard, alternate, a bit progressive, rock, hardrock and just plain fucked up... Their early live album started like this... a guy walks out on stage and in a really strange voice, like nassal with a swollen tongue, and says "This band has come all the way down from an acid trip just to play for you, please welcome Crack the Sky."
all that stuff is out of print I think, drop me a PM and maybe I can mail you out a CD collection of Crack the Sky. They released some stuff in the 80's that was more Floydish without the hard driving edge they had in the mid 70's.
