OK, the kids have had their fun with Poppy’s bumper “people talking over a drum machine” thread – aka the Hippity Hoppity thread – now it’s time for the grown-ups to show ’em how it’s done with a prog rock version. In other words, I’m shamelessly stealing Poppy’s idea.
That’s right, it’s another one of those YouTube clips list. But I’m hoping people will add a little explanation to their choices.
Here’s my favourite prog track. It’s Roundabout,the opening cut from Fragile the 1971 fourth Yes album. Eight minutes of great playing from a band at the absolute top of their game.
Fragile was the first Yes album with Rick Wakeman on keyboards and it features the classic line-up of Wakeman, Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Chris Squire and Bill Bruford.
