Music Monday: Prog Rock at Its Best

I have always liked rock that is slightly out of the mainstream.

Mike Oldfield: Tubular Bells


Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 are all on YouTube. This stuff is tremendous and I love watching them perform it live. This is my favorite sort of video. It's not a studio recording, but it's also not an arena. I feel like they are performing for themselves, and really getting into it.

Emerson, Lake, and Palmer: Endless Enigma I, Fugue, Endless Enigma II


Yes: Heart of the Sunrise

Is anybody making music like this now? That was not a rhetorical question. Please let me know who you think is (or was recently) making music like this and I will check them out.
