ZzzIf you are doing prog youβll need Dream Theater instead of Dire Straits, Yes instead of Yanni, Emerson Lake and Palmer instead of Enya. Youβll also need Iron Butterfly, Van der Graf Generator, Curved Air, Gong, (The) Nice, Marillion, Tangerine Dream, Soft Machine and Ozric Tentacles. No idea about Q though. Queen is a bit of a stretch for prog rock.

@dogmeat I prefer Eno, but ELP are pretty much the very definition of prog IMO. Anybody pretentious enough to cover Mussorgsky, Gershwin, Bach and Parry and put them unselfconsciously alongside their own Benny the Bouncer and Still You Turn Me On clearly believes the self to be a Serious Artist.
Never heard Quango.Sounds awful.

Right, about time. Taking a stab but not locking it in. My main concern here is the distinct lack of cheesy 80's (toying with Roxette instead of Otis, but that might require Roy Orbison instead of Offspring). I know I know, no RHCP.

I'm going to attempt this over the long weekend ... but can't even think of an A at the moment.
It actually ends up being quite depressing in a way - I love Fat Freddy's but how can I biff Foos? Maybe take Dave Grohl instead I guess? Plus, how could I go the rest of my life without ever hearing Poi e again.
