Next Extended Play Lounge POLL (Round 1)

I completely disagree. The success of this channel is based on the analysis of prog music and the reason for starting the patreon was the request for Metropolis Part II of Dream Theater. In addition, prog music (rock or metal) is much more interesting for a classically trained composer than bands like Rolling Stones...

That's because basic rock doesn't have a whole lot to offer musicians such as Doug. Basic rock is for basic minded listeners... For music that has more depth, you're just going to have to get away from the standard old boring rock genre... Sorry.

I've mentioned this before, but to me, Pink Floyd live at Pompeii is the greatest live video ever captured on film. Please do this as an EPL. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NL0TNGfcge4

Just one persons opinion. This channel has become way too prog focused. There is so much amazing classic rock that either haven't touched at all, or just heard one song from. Led Zeppelin, Cream, Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath, The Who, etc.. Enough Dream Theater.

Would love to see another full Rush album review. So many great ones still to do. You’ve done some great 70’s stuff. Don’t think you’ve done Permanent Waves yet which like Moving Pictures is virtually perfect. There are many great 80’s albums to review Signals, Grace under Pressure and Power Windows are great. Then right to the end Clockwork Angels is outstanding. Can’t go wrong with Rush could even dip into really early stuff like Fly by Night and Caress of Steel. That said I’d be happy with you doing a Rush album a week until complete. But love what you do and keep up the great work

Dave Clarke

Yep, totally, the whole of Journey as an extended play would make my year.

Steeleye 2112

Extended play lounge with Iron Maiden would be great! 🥹

Hard to tell, either way it's fine, though I suggest giving Rick Wakeman's Journey to the Center of the Earth or Blind Guardian's 20 years in the making Twilight Symphony a spin instead; but hey I'm sure their time will come In the end, all is quite welcome :)

Fates Warning " Theories of Flight," "Parallels," "Perfect Symmetry," or " A Pleasant Shade of Gray" (admittedly the last one is not for everyone). Fates Warning is one of the "Big 3" of progressive metal and generally get no love from the YouTube "music analysis" community.

I'm seeing the current incarnation of Gong, with support from the Ozrics, in November.

Henry Cow or Hatfield and the North would get my vote, or any of the Canterbury Scene bands for that matter, Egg, Gilgamesh, National Health, et al.

Ash Armstrong

Side 1 of Henry Cow’s Concerts album would be interesting to see your reaction Doug.

David Crossen

How about “The Rotter’s Club” by Hatfield and the North? “In Absentia” is definitely a masterpiece. Camel’s Moonmadness is a classic. “You” by Gong would be worth doing

David Crossen

I know Doug has done a Talking Heads track (The Great Curve from Remain in Light, I think?), but it'd be refreshing, for me at least, if he stepped away from the prog/metal mainstream for a bit. So, something of the New Wave/Art Rock/Krautrock scene: Television/Tom Verlaine, Patti Smith, Lou Reed/John Cale, Tortoise, Talk Talk (the last 3 albums), Beefheart, Iggy Pop, Joe Jackson, Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins, This Mortal Coil, Psychedelic Furs, XTC, Hedvig Mollestad, Elephant9, Motorpsycho, Neu!, Cluster, Tangerine Dream, to name just quite a few already.
