Five underrated Progressive Rock bands.

This little list is for bands that go under a lot of people’s radar. They might not be the most obscure or little known but have contributed more or enough to have gained more recognition in the genre.

Nektar

A British band formed and based in Germany in 1969. They are a band that were massive in Eastern Europe much like Uriah Heep. An interesting band that’s had hits and misses with albums but when they get it right it’s something special. 1971’s classic Journey to the centre of the eye is brash, bold and raw to the core. Or their second album A Tab in the Ocean, it carried the style of the first album but was more refined. Nektar are a band that offer so much and shouldn’t be overlooked.

Best Albums

Journey to the centre of the eye, 1971.

A Tab in the Ocean, 1972.

Remember the Future, 1973.

Egg

While making only three albums Eggs quality is plain to hear. Unfortunately they are a forgotten band for most part. Egg are certainly interesting, on occasion mixing progressive rock, psychedelic and classical. Egg are smart lyrical and extremely musically talented, it’s just a shame they registered only three albums because with the moving times it would have been interesting to of seen them evolve.

Best Albums

Egg, 1970.

The Polite Force, 1971.

The Civil Surface, 1974.

Premiata Forneria marconi.

PFM are an Italian band that just keeps on going. I haven’t listened to all of their albums..... they’ve made a lot! They are unique & have a lot of variety, they even made five albums in English. At times a complex band and there’s nothing generic here nor is there the catchy three minute song. It’s well worth skimming through their catalog on Spotify.

Best albums.

Per un amico, 1972.

Photos of ghosts, 1973.

Jet Lag, 1977.

Hatfield of the North.

A band associated with the great ‘Canterbury scene’ and yet another on the list that didn’t last. The North were a band that had a sense of humour and a light side which is a little Folky, not to mention great names for their songs. Theres a strong progressive feel as well but both work equally. Richard Sinclair the lead singer has a great Kentish accent & much of their music has relevance today. There are a few newer bands that probably unintentionally sound like them on the slower songs. They are easy to overlook and probably contributed less to the scene than the other bands on here but their albums are first class.

Best Albums.

Hatfield and the North, 1974.

The Rotter’s Club, 1975.

Gentle Giant.

Gentle Giant are one of my favourite bands and I’ve reviewed them on my page already so I’ll keep it short. Technically a powerhouse in progressive rock & almost unmatched in that department. The Shulman brothers are masters at what they do pure and simple. While some of their music won’t be to everyone’s taste it can be appreciated. Gentle Giant are a must listen in the world of progressive rock.

Best Albums.

Gentle Giant, 1970.

Acquiring the Taste, 1971.

Three friends, 1972.

Octopus, 1972.

The power and the Glory, 1974.
