Yes

Yes is among Rush, Pink Floyd, Genesis, and Jethro Tull as being the best know progressive rock groups of all time. The group formed in London(Great Britain) in 1968. The most popular Yes line up was Jon Anderson(vocals), Chris Squire(bass), Steve Howe(guitar), Bill Bruford(drums), and Rick Wakeman(keyboards). Yes belongs to the symphonic group of prog, being influenced by Baroque and Classical periods of classic music. Vocal harmonies, long composures, and great technical ability with their instruments is typically(in a good way) what makes up Yes.

In this compilation I included a song from Yes debut up to Relayer. I tried to cover the epics, the standard Yes songs, and their amazing covers in this compilation.

Nektar

A German band comprised of Englishmen Roye Albrighton on guitars and vocals, Allan "Taff" Freeman on keyboards, Derek "Mo" Moore on a Rickenbacker bass, Ron Howden on drums, and Mick Brockett on lights, special effects and other miscellanea, back in 1969. Songwriting was always considered a group effort with Nektar, and they had a cult following until the release of the album Remember the Future in (the magical year of) 1973. Going fairly silent after releasing Magic Is A Child in 1977, they regrouped in 2002 to headline NEARfest. They have been compared to Gentle Giant at times for their overall sound and style. Nektar could've been a major band but didn't become extremely popular until the end of progressive rock's golden era.

Atomic Rooster was an English Progressive Rock band that was formed by ex-Crazy World of Arthur Brown members (Vincent Crane and Carl Palmer). They were formed in 1969 and their debut album was Atomic Roooster released in 1970. Though the band would continue on afterwards, this was their only album with this distinct sound, having very little guitar edge to the songs, mostly being organ, drums, and bass. Carl Palmer would leave this group while they started working on their second albums o he could join Keith Emerson and Greg Lake with their progressive rock supergroup project ELP.

Enjoy the sounds of early Atomic Rooster.

Frank Zappa Compilation 01

Frank Zappa was a musical genius. With a discography spanning over seventy albums, he wrote an eclectic range of music covering styles from serious jazzy compositions to straightforward songs full of hilarious societal and religious parody. While it is impossible to make a compilation that can do justice to him, I have attempted to do so. This is a small compilation, but I will post more eventually. This should give a decent idea of the range of his music.
