Kansas has Carry On Wayward Son, of of the highest rated songs on the planet. We should at least keep that. But if nobody agrees, whatever. There's still Point of Know Return on symphonic.

And? Its influence isn't really that massive for prog imo.

Harvest is on Folk Rock and Country Rock. How about replacing the country rock with Neil Young's Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere? Never heard it, plus it's very popular.

Stoner Rock

1. Melvins - Houdini
2. Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley
3. Black Sabbath - Master of Reality
4. Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf
5. Boris - Akuma no Uta
6. Fu Manchu - King of the Road
7. Orange Goblin - The Big Black
8. Sleep - Sleep's Holy Mountain
9. Corrosion of Conformity - Deliverance
10. Clutch - Clutch

I think we should do Robot Hive instead of the self titled for Clutch. Maybe take Black Sabbath off. It's a heavy metal album. Definitely laid the ground work for the genre but isn't really apart of it.

I would take Houdini off as well and I would say Blast Tyrant for Clutch if not the debut.

And trade whatever Orange Goblin album that is for Time Travelling Blues.

And Boris's album to Pink

I'm inclined to agree with you on Houdini and Orange Goblin, but i want to relisten to those first. I don't think Blast Tyrant is as good as Robot Hive.

All I know is I hear a lot of Kansas here and there and rarely Mike Oldfield.

**Frownland** · 03-22-2016, 10:03 PM

Yes. How does that relate to their influence in the prog realm though?

JGuy Grungeman · 03-23-2016, 09:32 AM

... You're kidding? Popularity. It means that Kansas are more popular than Oldfield. At least around here. But popularity and influence are both key factors in a musician's success. And I'm aware popularity doesn't equate to talent. Still.

You seem to be missing my point about them being that relevant to prog rock. Thriller is an incredibly popular record, but it doesn't necessarily deserve to be in that battle either.
