Prog rock

No, it's Metallica S&M

Seriously, I will give a try to all your suggestions above, thanks

I gotta throw the "Five Bridges" by the Nice as the definitive marriage of rock and classical. Cutting-edge in the late 60's.

May I also add (continuing the Steven Wilson appreciation thread) Steven Wilson "The Raven That Refused To Sing (orchestral version)" off the EP 'Drive Home'

My mother in law was a lab tech in the sixties and early seventies. She always tries to tell me why I am wrong about science. I asked he does she realize all her training is almost half a century old?? Lol, just funny no offense intended. You old guys are making me feel young and PROGRESSIVE!

No offense at all!!!

But you young 'uns could use a sense of history...

Really. When Keith Emerson tore apart the stage with "5 Bridges", there had seriously never been anything like it. Totally ground-breaking stuff.

I agree with the old guy (I am only 50), Keith Emerson was with Rick Wakeman, Vangelis and possibly Jon Lord the best keyboard players to walk the planet.

heck yes. And Jon Lord is no slouch, either.

BTW, I'm only 53...

Well, I'm 39 so not really young. Lots of your history lessons I have enjoyed via bandcamp. Keep em coming.

As a Finn, I can't help but posting this:
 

They recorded the Sibelius rendition already back in '68. The live video is just ridiculous! Imagine seeing that back then, or even now.

 

[god-bluff]

Rick Wakeman - Journey to the Center of the Earth surely?!??

Progtastically both brilliant and mad. Being listening to it for 40 years and have yet to tire of it

Nice > Keith Emerson
King Crimson > Greg Lake
Arthur Brown, Atomic Rooster > Carl Palmer
ELP > Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Oh man! I've never seen this.

Karelia Suite is in my top 10 all-time recordings. I'll never forget freaking out listening to Emerson tear apart his organ, and then they go back into the main theme. More metal than most recordings ever made. Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Indeed, I almost went with the word "rad"! The amount of Hammond-abuse begs belief, along with how physical you can actually go with an organ!

Otherwise, I was left wondering how much classically influenced prog I personally actually enjoy, came up varying results, but as we've been talking about Emerson, I'll just leave this here:
 

 
Btw, @swspiers, enjoyed Triumvirat perchance?

 

[phthora]

Nice choice, @drwlf! I've got that album on my DAP. An album with a song about weird time signatures is about as prog as it gets.
