The Best Damn Prog Show Period
 

Hey - a contest!

I'd like to invite everyone to use the Aural Moon playlist, and make up what would be their favorite two hours of progressive rock "show."

You can put your favorite music in there, classics, rarities, or whatever you think would make a great progressive rock show. Make sure it comes to around 2 hours. Post your playlist here, and you may have your show chosen to be broadcast to the throngs of hungry prog listeners!

Jim and I will be judging (news to Jim). It's your chance to be a DJ!

Post- em!

Man, All these lists kick ass. Glad I'm not judging

Yeah, we may just default to random selection.

Jim, would you like to put these fine lists in a hat, and pull one out?

I'll be playing the first winner on Monday, March 25.

Avian

Here's the random order winners:

Genesis74
Rael
Bob Lentil
Dinosaur
Yesspaz (not the Amarok one :-))

and I'm working on one too - it didn't seem fair for me to enter mine into the contest when I was judging...

When?
 

What days and what times will they be playing, so we'll be sure not to miss them? Thanks, Yesspaz.

Speaking of theme sets
 

Speaking of theme sets, I thought I'd bring this back up...

Well, now KCP4's Ghost Part 1 is in the library, as is American Football's "Stay Home," and I know that Jim has that King's X track - so this is do-able.

:p

clactdj - don't worry about being a tad over two hours - I think we can accomodate that. And we can add the Beatles for your show - I have that album.

dinosaur - GREAT set - but Lana Lane? really? do people really like her? last time I asked this it was overwhelmingly yes, but I just don't get it - great voice, but I find her music to be straight rock or at best, marginally prog. oh well, the old cliche - that's what makes the world go round....

Yesspaz - we'll be happy to include your King's X, even though I still say it's not prog ;) (but it is good)

and actually, everyone's done a great job on this.

clactdj - don't worry about being a tad over two hours - I think we can accomodate that. And we can add the Beatles for your show - I have that album.

That's great! BTW, I forgot to list the artist on track 4, but you probably already know it's The Moody Blues.
