Some old school Prog Rock (1972) for consideration. I think the argument over the term "Progressive Rock" was established in the late 60's - early 70's, because it was like no other genre of the time. Check it out

Saw them at the Monroe Civic Center c. 1974-5. We were first row, literally right against the stage.

Damn good band for a while. Saw them in New Orleans in 72 or 73. Last show of the tour and they killed it. This album plus "Look at Yourself" and "The Magicians Birthday" were very good. Good pot smokin music for the time....not that I did that or anything...

So underrated. David Byron was a great vocalist, with a keen sense of melody. Good musicians throughout the group. Still listen to "Wonderworld" and the "Magicians Birthday"

I love Uriah Heep but are they really prog-rock? School me.

In my opinion they aren't.

I had always grouped them in that Genre, but maybe not. Some group Rush there but I don't
There seems to be some confusion with the Prog Rock Genre and how it is defined I suppose.

I always defined it as music that incorporates other (non-rock) types of music into a rock format. So for example, ELP and Yes used a lot of classical motifs, Genesis and Jethro Tull used English folk music, etc.
However one could define it as rock music that pushes the boundaries of rock in directions hitherto unexplored. By that definition, I think Pink Floyd becomes progressive. Maybe Uriah Heep too.

Love the album...also how heavy was Rainbow Demon for that time period.
